Today we have a new episode of Polymer Clay TV for you to enjoy. This week we show you how to silkscreen on polymer clay. This is an easy and fun technique that anyone can master. All you need is some clay and acrylic paint. You will have to do some testing to see what brand of paint works best on the brand of polymer clay you are using. I had good luck with the Folk Art & apple Barrel brands on Premo brand clay. Enjoy!

If you would like to try our Magic Transfer Paper which we demonstrated on last weeks video just send an e-mail to polymerclaypodcast@yahoo.com with your mailing address and we will get it in the mail.http://polymerclayproductions.com/cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=15&zenid=a7550bd390b0e8361254632e8ffeb424

Please stop by our Important Survey page to take our demographics survey. We would really like to know who our listeners are, and so would our podcast sponsors. Ilysa is going to CHA next month, and is planning on talking to the companies that would be interested in our show, and they will want to know the info we are asking. It will really help us and will take less than a minute of your time. Thanks!

This week, Ilysa talks about how wonderful it is to use tiny silkscreens to transfer patterns onto your clay. We also discuss the internet topics, What is a podcast, and What is an RSS feed? It appears that some of our audience aren’t totally familiar with the terms. A Podcast is basically a privately run radio show (videocast being the privately run TV show) and an RSS feed is a way to search blogs and sites for a specific topic, and have updates delivered to you via a “feed” that comes through a feed site, or your email. It’s a quick and easy way to get updated information from your favorite sites on your favorite topics, without having to visit 50 websites every day to check for updates manually.

On this weeks Polymer Clay Podcast the topic will be silkscreening on polymer clay and next week on Polymer Clay TV you will get to see the demo. I have fallen in love with this technique and keep trying new things and designs. There is a product on the market where you can create your own stencils, we have plans to do so but it just has not happened yet. One of these days. This is an easy technique and does not involve many supplies. All you need is some acrylic paint, a silkscreen stencil and something to pull the paint across the stencil, like a credit card. Here are a few photos of some of the designs I have made. Enjoy!

This weeks featured member of the PCAGOE is http://www.lemachidesigns.etsy.com

This weeks Polymer Clay TV is all about creating transfers on polymer clay. It is a fun and easy technique that we know you will love. You do not want to miss this show!

This week I am featuring a very talented artist named Karina. Karina’s work is simply gorgeous, I love everything she makes. Not only does she make gorgeous jewelry but her sculptures are to die for.

Here is another artisan. She makes very cute cat figures. I love cats- I have three right now! Black, White, and Grey….so I have a color of cat hair to contrast with every outfit. LOL.

Just look at the cats pretending to be bunnies! Too funny. Unfortunately, you can click the picture below, that was a graphic present on the picture I “stole” in order to feature the work. Just click the link above to visit her site.

This Friday is the much awaited show about transferring on to polymer clay. There are numerous methods of transferring but none that we have found that were easier than the Magic Transfer paper. We will show exactly how it works this Friday on Polymer Clay TV, so make sure to come back and watch it.

For those of you who don’t know if you scroll down on the right hand sidebar until you see, podcasts & videocasts  and when you click on those it will take you to ALL of our past shows so you never have to miss a show. We have almost 60 shows to listen to and watch, enjoy!

Next month is the Craft & Hobby Association show in Chicago and on the 19th I will be meeting with the folks at Staedtler about the Bottle of Hope challenge. They are planning on continuing it and I have a feeling it should be back in place for the next CHA show but I will keep you posted on what I find out.
