OH good. I was going to attempt making a iris cane, lol. That would be hard work. So I will roll clay, and paint them myself.
Thanks for info. I love this site. |

| will have to try genesis?...I read in my polymer clay book that you can paint the baked clay with acrylic paint and then varnish it but to degrease the surface first with denatured alcohol to take off any grease....I think I will go this way...since acrylic paint is easy to use and fast drying...they said never to use oil based or enamels because they will not adhere to the surface right...Kathy |
