Clay

Polymer clay by Irene Semanchuk Dean
Totally cool Polymer clay projects by Marie Browning

Yesterday we played with clay for a good percentage of time. We found great projects in both of these books and practiced making canes and marbeling.
The second book is a little more in depth as far as technique goes, but we found more projects we wanted to do out of the second one. Both are excellent!
Next time I just have to remember to buy clay that "will dry out". :(
