omg, I finished something. It's one of eight pages for a not-so-fat book swap. Since I ran out of chipboard, I made my pages from polymer clay. And as I was getting jiggy with the clay, I decided I could stamp my image on a polymer clay medallion and color it with Pearl-Ex. Well I've always said I'd try anything once. And this brings me to MY cheap trick (better late than never) for Michelle Ward's 8th Crusade. USE THE STUFF YOU'VE BEEN HOARDING FOR YEARS. It's cheap in the respect that you've had the stuff tucked away, saving it for something 'special' and it remains there til you forget you have it (read: depreciation). When it comes to polymer clay, it's best to remember you have it sooner, rather than later. This stuff has been in a carton above my fridge for the last three years and it was a BITCH to condition.

Laura - you reminded me i have quite a stash of polymer clay....time to get it conditioned and put to use. Yes, hoarded stuff is a cheap trick, isn't it? Paid for long ago. Thanks for playing...I'll be posting your link under #9 with a (C8) behind it for crusade #8.
Good idea. I'm making a studio space for myself at the moment and have unearthed all kinds of things I'd forgotten I had.
