June CMSPCG Meeting Notes & Supply List

The June meeting of the Central Mississippi Polymer Clay Guild will be on Saturday, June 20, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. at the Pearl Library, Pearl, Mississippi. Becky is going to show us that a Rose is still a Rose when sculptured from Polymer Clay. After we finish making roses, she’s going to demo an Initial Cane.

Just a reminder:  

June is also membership renewal month; bring your $20 annual dues. Debbie will bring the forms to complete; Annette will give out membership cards that we can use to get 10% off of purchases at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores.  Our group is growing, we have two new members to welcome and there will be a guess attending too.

Don’t forget to bring an item to display at the Pearl Library and bring something warm to wear just in case the room is cold.   

SUPPLY LIST:

Rose:

·        1 block of Red or any other color you choose. 

·        ¼ block of Green for the leaf. (More colors for both if you want to do a skinner blend)

·        Ball point sculpting tools

·        Sponge or spongy block: make-up sponge (Becky will bring some)

·        Very small cookie cutters

Initial Cane:

·        2 blocks of black and white or any other two contrasting colors.

Note:  You may want to use a firm clay like Kato or Fimo.  Premo can be too sticky when fresh.  Leach your Premo clay if it’s too soft.

  

Other Supplies:

Be sure to bring your normal travel kit with a minimum of your pasta machine, clear roller, clay blade, ceramic tile or other work surface, baby wipes.
