So hat still not completed.. but I just made a little 'stone' for a ring I've been planning. It's made out of polymer clay and is currently curing in the oven. I also glazed my little Christmas gift for my boyfriend finally. I have the shortest attention span with crafts.. I always have 5 or 6 projects going at once. If I get bored of one I just move onto another.
I was hanging around work for a couple hours today which is where I got the glue and glaze for my gift. I also picked up some sparkles to use with the polymer. While in the clay aisle I noticed we sell a transfer medium by Sculpey and I looked it up online when I came home. Actually I found a pretty nifty little tutorial on how to use it:

**EDIT: the insert link button never works for me.. you'll just have to copy and paste :)**
I'm excited that I've found a way to put my drawings onto polymer.. I have a lot of ideas for pendants, I just hope they turn out. Also while surfing around I saw that transfering toner [and I saw inkjet in a few places too but I'm sure if that will work] pictures is extremely easy. I had no idea all I needed was water! There was a gift I wanted to buy a friend for Christmas online but since it would be coming from overseas it would never make it on time. I'm going to try and recreate the pendant using this transfer method.. if it works I can just make the gift myself!
I'm really going to have to buckle down and finish that hat and scarf combo I have going though.. if I wait too long there won't be any cold weather for me to wear them in!
~Happy Crafting!
