Craft Break FAIL

[corvustristis.livejournal.com]

It's the week before finals for me, I've got one exam tomorrow, and I've been cramming for days. I decided to take a study break oh, fifteen minutes ago and play with some polymer clay. The gods of diligent studying promptly punished me.

I was sitting at my craft table in the sun, merrily smooshing and rolling and pinching and squishing clay into form when it came time to cut a log of clay. I took out my handy-dandy paint-scraper blade (seen here; much cheaper than a polymer-clay specific blade, though not so flexible), and hacked into the surprisingly-resistant log. It was only when the nerves in my fingertips began to scream that I realized I had manhandled the dull edge of the blade through the clay by pushing down, with my two index fingers, on the sharp edge.


Go go Batman Band-Aids!

D'oh.

For your continued amusement, a recent chain mail piece:

Another Kind of Weaving





It's my current everyday/lucky necklace, as my last favorite disappeared somewhere in Tanzania.

Back to studying.
