my first batch of polymer clay goodies

[digitalusrex.livejournal.com]

a random selection off my list of Things To Do With Polymer Clay: apples, meats, pizza, nintendo, peacock feathers & toadstools:

polymer clay apples golden, red & green apples

	polymer clay meats chicken, steak & ham
	polymer clay mushroom pizza mushroom pizza
	polymer clay nintendo controllers nintendo controllers + a penny for size comparison
	polymer clay peaock feathers peacock feathers from my first polymer clay cane
	polymer clay pepperoni & pepper pizza pepperoni & bell pepper pizza
	polymer clay fly agaric toadstool fly agaric toadstool

i also spent a lot of time making a leaf of lorien cane but i overshot my expertise and it came out kinda funky. however, there's still hope for it because i didn't finish slicing it up. it might look better further down the cane. the cross button on the nintendo controllers almost made me see double. oy. they are TINY. like 1/4" across. i'm going to make them into earrings. i've heard there's 500 & 600 level sandpapers that i can use on baked clay to smooth out the surfaces. i need to get some to get rid of the fingerprints and little nail dents. i have no idea what to do with the peacock feathers. maybe i'll decorate an altoid tin. my mom probably has dozens; she eats those things like candy.

this was also my first run using my craft dedicated toaster oven. lucky for me, i had an oven thermometer handy and got the right temp cos the dial is funky and doesn't read right.
