Craft Supplies

I moved all my craft supplies for sale to my Etsy shop to keep a better track of them.  All supplies offered in my shop can be used to make projects described in at least one of my polymer clay tutorials.

In the nearest future, I am planning to start listing lots of extra craft supplies accumulated over the years.  Need to make more space in my studio.



Instant download on Etsy

I am very happy to announce that my polymer clay tutorials are now available on Etsy immediately after purchase.

Here is how this instant download option is going to look like for the buyer perspective (I copied the following description from the Etsy forum post by Tim Holley the Team Captain for Digital Items Etsy team):

- Immediately after a buyer purchases your digital item, they're shown a link that leads them to the downloads page - the page where they can download files associated with a specific order. If their payment hasn't been confirmed, they won't be able to download the files. As soon as payment is confirmed, the downloads will become available from the downloads page. If a buyer paid with Direct Checkout or Paypal it can take a few minutes for their payment to be confirmed. This screenshot is an example: cl.ly/image/0z0P2z471P1E.

- Buyers are also sent an email that lets them know their files are ready to download. This email is only sent after their payment has been confirmed. This screenshot is an example: cl.ly/image/3T0G0u3Z1X05.

- Clicking the "View your Files on Etsy" link in the email will bring them to the downloads page, from which they can download each file individually. After downloading, they'll see the last date on which they downloaded it. This screenshot is an example: cl.ly/image/0W272F1s0o2D.

- The downloads page is also accessible from the buyer's Purchases page and Receipt for that order.

For clarification: as far as I understand, this option is still in testing and available to the Etsy sellers who participate in the corresponding team.  In the nearest future, it shall be a standard feature on Etsy available to everybody who sells digital items.

Blank Brass Bracelets

I am expanding Supplies section in my Etsy shop.


Two types of blank brass bracelets for polymer clay embellishment are now available.

I have ideas for tutorials explaining how to cover these bangles with polymer clay. Keep an eye on my shop - the tutorials are coming up soon.





Tutorial How to use EnviroTex Lite or ICE resin to cover polymer clay pendants and other small objects, version 2

A new version of my popular tutorial for using resin with polymer clay is now available in my Etsy shop.

This is an improved and extended version of this tutorial, with more tips and more pictures than before.

The tutorial includes step-by-step instructions for measuring and mixing the resin in very small quantities. This is very helpful when you do not want to waste any resin. I also included pictures and instructions showing how to apply and degas the resin and how to deal with a few most common mistakes (such as resin spills or trapped air bubbles). Descriptions of the best conditions for working with two-part epoxy resins, drying times for different temperatures, and tips for accelerated curing of the resin are also provided.

The best places to buy EnviroTex Lite and ICE resin are listed in this tutorial. A trial kit of EnviroTex lite resin is available in my etsy shop.
