...just like butta...

I had seen several posts by fellow clayers mentioning the use of Thomas Tissue Slicer Blades (catalog No. 6727C18).  I ordered 25 and they came today.  I am utterly astonished at the difference these blades make in slicing!  They cut through 'just like butta'.. no drag, no squish, and a beautiful clean cut surface.  I never knew what I was missing!  Find them here.  Scroll down the page where you will see that you order the seperate pieces.  The initial outlay is steep, but the per blade cost is reasonable.  With shipping at (ouch!!) $15.00,  the blades were $3.43 each.  After using one, well worth the price!

I would love to continue playing, but back to my 'real job' in the morning!  Order the blades!!  Great investment!

In the beginning....

Well, here goes nothing!  I have been wanting to start blogging for a while and too "scared" to start!  I have been trying to research to see how all this is done, but finally decided to just jump in with both feet!

I love polymer clay.  I spend most of my time (when I'm not at my "real job"!) in my craft room. 

More craft room pictures here in my craft room.

I've spent all day trying to organize my photos so I can share them.  I'm slowly learning.  I'll share one more link tonight.  The very first experiences I had with polymer clay were to create the ABC's for my grandchildren.

Well, this went fairly well!  I'll post again soon!  Thanks for looking!
