Protect your polymer clay works from dust!
Cover your polymer clay work station with recycled plastic.
I used the plastic from the pillow we recently bought. It was luckily ideal because it was thick and big and covered my workstation well.

Freshly Baked
My first batch of polymer clay bakery. =P
23 February 2011
I have molded this a few weeks back already but only baked it recently, very giddy giddy me during the baking. =)
Clay Fest
I went to the Clay Fest last February 26, 2011 and just couldn't resist buying for myself these work of art.
Carmy's Clayworks has the most excellent details!
Iron Patches
Here is the reversed side of the bag I made from the pants. =)
The patches, I intend to sew on my new pants-turned-shorts, bought them in Divi. =)
From Pants to Shorts to Bag
It took me most of the day to complete this project.
The cargo shorts used to be the white pants given to me by my cousin few years back. Never got around to wearing it because it simply isn’t ideal to wear white pants in Manila —dusty — and cutting it off seems like a waste of cloth. Now that I know how to sew, I cut it to the short pants that it is now and turned the scraps of cloth into a bag. =)
Storing Your Polymer Clay
It is best to store your clay in a cool dry place, away from sunlight and heat to prolong its shelf life and keep it from crumbling into flaky pieces.
I store mine inside tight lid tin cans and as much as possible, use the same plastic packaging in keeping it separated from each other. Otherwise, you can use wax paper to keep the clay of different colors segregated. You can also use food grade plastic or Ziploc’s. Clay tends to react badly in plastic containers, according to some books I’ve read so better watch out for that one.
