Happy New Year! Wishing all my friends lots of creative energy in 2016!
Here is my first finished project for this year: a set of custom-made super-duper tools for polymer clay.
People who buy my
tutorials know that I love using knitting needles for sculpting. I had a set of very short knitting needles in three sizes. Finally, I made handles for them. The handles are triangular in cross-section, so they are extremely comfortable to hold. An added bonus: they do not roll on an uneven working surface. I could not possibly leave the handles of new tools plain, so I decided to decorate them using my
Wonder Stamps (I am supposed to be working on a tutorial for a project with these stamps, by the way).
And the other two tools are an X-acto knife and a needle tool. For these, I covered their existing handles with polymer clay and finished them in the same style as the knitting needles. Their handles are much thicker than those of the knitting needles, but still are very comfortable.
