Playing with clays

Our first every polymer clay pendant’s before and after baking photos :>

I had my first polymer clay sculpting attempt last November 30. It was a non-working holiday so I met up with Den, Eiya, JV, and Ate Fae at Trinoma for JV’s despedida. Den and I have been so eager to make clay accessories for weeks and we have been watching Feye make clay orders via webcam so on the 30th we finally had our first clay experience at JV’s super far house. The pics I posted above is the result of our first try! Yes, we failed but it’s ok. We can always try again. :>

I brought my clays to work and people in my department became excited about it and sculpted some clays too. They really browsed at clay tutorials how to mold them and created a few food miniatures such as cake slice, donuts, cupcakes, carrots, oranges, mini Hershey’s kisses, and Toblerone. They even researched ways on how to cook the clays using the microwave since we don’t have any oven at the office, we only have a microwave. It was really really fun! We were able to successfully cook some clays using the microwave! I brought them home and turn them into cute little earrings! Here’s a photo of the cake slice’s finished product. :> Well, so what do you guys think?

Aside from attempting to make polymer clay accessories, I’ve been tumblring again! Since my boss blocked this blog in our office, I decided to open my tumblr once again! Lol. Oh I’ve joined the formspring.me craze too! Formspring.me and ask me anything. :]

Lastly, I’ve been in a phone hunt lately too. I need to replace my beloved Samsung D900 slider phone because I’ve been bringing it in and out of the repair shop for the past 6 months now. Do you think I should switch to a touchscreen phone (Samsung Star Wifi) or a smartphone (Samsung Omnia Pro B7320)? Yes, I’m a Samsung fan. Heehee.
