New National Polymer Clay Guild Web Site! PDF Print E-mail

I'm happy to announce that the new National Polymer Clay Guild site is open to the public. The site was, and will continue to be, a labor of love for me and the entire NPCG board. There are some great things planned for the future, including a new direction for the Guild, a new national conference and much more.

Please visit http://www.npcg.org to read all about it. While you are there, please join the Guild and support their educational and marketing efforts!

 
Color Mixing PDF Print E-mail

There has been a lot of buzz in the community recently about color mixing and various methods. Maggie Maggio has a great series of color tutes up on her site and even had a short video produced.

If you are interested in tackling the  monumental task of color mixing all combinations within a particular brand, I've posted checklists that you can print out and use to create your own color mixes. So far I've got Kato Polyclay, Premo and Fimo Classic completed.

I am aware that there are duplicates on the list, for example Yellow & Violet is the same as Violet & Yellow. As I have time, I'll refine it. 

 As always, feedback is welcome. Enjoy!

New Calendar Category PDF Print E-mail
A new calendar category, Guild Meetings, has been added to the Events Calendar. Since so many polymer clay guilds offer demos and lessons at their meetings,  I thought it would be nice to add these to the calendar 'outside' the normal class categories. Let me know what you think about the category and if you'd like to see it divided by location.
