The May meeting of the Central Mississippi Polymer Clay Guild will be on Saturday, May 15, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. at the Pearl Library, Pearl, Mississippi. The focus of this meeting will be petal canes and how to use them to build multi-layered flowers. These flowers can then be used in a variety of ways on a wide range of surfaces in addition to being used to make unique one-of-a-kind jewelry. Myra and Annette will be demoing this process for us.
The supply list for this meeting is:
Clay (preferably Premo -- conditioned)
• 4 skinner blend plugs that measure 2 inches across by 2 inches high each. These can be rolled either dark to light or light to dark. Complimentary colors would be good.
• 3 to 4 colors conditioned - about ½ of a 2 oz. package of each
• One 2 oz. package Black conditioned
• One 2 oz. package White or Ecru conditioned
“Must have” Tools and Supplies:
• Be sure to bring your normal travel kit with a minimum of your pasta machine, roller, clay blade, ceramic tile or other work surface, baby wipes.
• Corn Starch
• Knitting needle about the size of a pencil. If you don't have a knitting needle, a sharpened pencil will work.
“If you have them” Supplies:
• A tissue blade is very handy for cutting slices of the petals
• If you want to put a border around your flower, you might want to bring a ruler or Marxit
