It's been awhile since I re-stocked the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/theartofmyclay">ETSY</a> store.<br />
I am pleased to announce that there are some CaBezel molds back in the store just in time for the holiday season.<br />
I've even listed some of the Holy CaBezels there as well.<br />
You still have plenty of time to create those One-Of-A-Kind holiday gifts!<br />
<br />
The beautiful samples below were created by Carolyn Good of <a href="http://2goodclaymates.blogspot.ca/p/polymer-clay-tutorials-free.html">2 Good Claymates</a>.<br />
They have several free tutorials on their blog.<br />
Thanks Carolyn!<br />

Buna Cord and O-rings<br />My assistant Patti helped me put this video together a while ago. I just forgot to let everyone know that we published it!<br />
Our plan is to make several (shorter) videos showing how I use different products to create my jewelry etc.<br />
This video about Buna cord is a little bit long (our apologies). <br />If you've ever had questions about how to use Buna cord and O-rings we hope this video will answer those burning questions for you. :)<br />We show lots of examples at the end so maybe grab a cuppa and watch it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmDvnm0_S5M">here</a>.<br />

Back in November, Shades of Clay decided that it might be a great idea to take part in the<br /><a href="http://www.grandriverbeadsociety.com/">Grand River Bead Society's </a>annual show and sale.<br />After all, we know just how great polymer clay is for creating beads and jewelry <em>and</em> since we are passionate about sharing any and all information <em>polymer clay</em> we knew it would be a great fit if we attended.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Since I personally know how well the <a href="http://shadesofclay.com/products/molds/cabezels-tools-supplies/">CaBezel molds</a> work for creating fabulous cabochons and bezels<br />I demo-ed for the entire 2 days of the sale. We heard so many ewwws and awwws especially from those unfamiliar with polymer clay. We had more than a few converts!<br />While I was demo-ing I met so many wonderful people, from current customers, to teachers to bloggers.<br />That's where Pearl Blay comes in. If you haven't heard of her yet, you will want to.<br />Pearl writes a blog that is full of so much juicy information.<br />Topics range from Chain Maille to Polymer Clay to Resin.<br />If you are looking for something new to try, you can likely find it there.<br />No wonder The Beading Gem has over 32.000 followers!<br />Her blog is a breath of fresh air.</div>

Hello,<br />
I have been allowing myself to have some creative time recently. It has proven to me just how important it is to make time for this activity as it helps me to feel grounded in ways that nothing else can. Simply put, I'm just happier when I'm creating!<br />
<br />
While I was playing, I came up with an idea to create little heart shaped dishes (bowls) and I even managed to get it out there in time for Valentine's Day! OK, barely, but it is such a simple idea that you will still have time to make a few before February 14th.<br />
<br />
Whether you choose to give a few, make one for yourself or use it as an excuse to keep the kids busy, I think you will be pleased with the results.<br />
<br />
I have used Iced Enamels over black polymer clay to decorate mine, but really, you could use anything.<br />
Cover scrap clay with <a href="http://shadesofclay.com/?s=swelleg&post_type=product">Swellegant</a> paint and patinas, use brightly coloured clay, canes or<a href="http://shadesofclay.com/products/helen-breil/helen-breil-silk-screens/"> silk </a>screens or <a href="http://shadesofclay.com/products/texture-stamps-silk-screen-stencils/">textures</a>.<br />
<br />
These little vessels are just waiting to be made in whatever way your little heart desires. (Yep, pun intended).<br />
<br />

<b><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Let's work on the Hinged Bracelet first.</span></b></div>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Condition your polymer clay and using a pasta machine,
sheet it on a medium-thin setting.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Choose your silk screen and
paint colour. (Follow the directions that come with the screens and allow
the paint dry).</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Cut a piece of clay just a bit
longer and wider than the area you are trying to fill. (Image 2)</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">A bit of liquid clay on the
underside of the form will help guarantee that the clay will have a
permanent bond once baked. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Push the clay against the
bracelet to get a good bond. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Treat the open area of the
bracelet like a die form. Using a small, soft brush., gently push the clay
between the edges of the form to create a 3D effect (Image 3). </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">You can do a little or a lot.
This will depend largely on the consistency of your clay.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Now it is time to trim the
clay. Work from the front so that you can see where to cut. Then, on
the under-side cut the clay away from the hinge. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Using your fingers, smooth all
of the edges one final time to make sure that the clay is adhering
everywhere. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Now using a sharp scalpel or X-</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">acto </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">blade clean up the edges.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I would suggest baking the
bracelet with just one side done. Once cooled you can complete the
other side.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Complete the other side in the
exact same manner or use a different surface treatment.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">1 Gift done!</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Lightly impress
the back-side of the decorative clay with the channel ring. This
marks the width you need. Using a long blade, cut a strip. This is
great for using up small leftover bits of your cherished canes.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Add a bit of
liquid clay to the channel. Press the clay inside the channel and
pull the strip slightly if needed, to stretch the clay so that it fits
neatly inside the channel.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">When the clay
over-laps at the end, use a knife to cut through both thicknesses. Remove
the excess by lifting up the strip and with the sharp tip remove the tiny
piece from underneath. Your 2 edges will butt up against each other
perfectly. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>

<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Impress the ring into the back-side of the decorative clay to get a sense of the size of the rectangle you will cut. (This is also sheeted on a medium-thin setting).</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Apply some liquid clay inside the bezel of the ring.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Place the cut rectangle of clay into the ring. Roll the clay lightly in place. If the clay goes beyond the edge just use your tissue blade to push it back inside the bezel. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>

The CaBezel Jewelry Molds<br />
I have just added a few more sets of the Cabezel molds up on<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/theartofmyclay"> Etsy</a>. The sets work out to a better price than if they were purchased individually.<br />
I do this because I hear from many of you that you would rather buy them in sets.<br />
They are limited quantities, first rate molds, no seconds.<br />
<br />
The CaBezels are very easy to use once you have a bit of practice. If you haven't tried them yet, Etsy is a great way to introduce yourself to them. Of course you don't have to just use them for jewelry Think book covers, journals and wall art too.<br />
<br />
You can make dozens of your own bezels at a fraction of the cost that metal bezels would cost you.<br />
It is a great way to use up scrap clay too! Just apply Gilder's paste, metallic foils, PearlEx or other mica powders and make them look like metal bezels. The best part is, you will also have the mold to make the matching cabochons to fit your bezels. <br />
Of course, you don't have to fill all of them with Cabochons. Why not put an image in the bottom and then fill them with ICE Resin.<br />
See them <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/theartofmyclay">here</a>.<br />
The possibilities are limited only by your imagination!<br />
Have fun creating<br />
