I haven't posted here for a while and am amazed at so much talent. What have I missed! Obviously much.

I had gone back to bead embroidery for a while after I had created an almost endless supply of cabochons with various techniques such as mokume gane, my batik and shimmer, faux bone, faux dichroic etc. etc. (I have 1 shoe boxes full) Then I got a new video camera and video software, so was totally distracted from polymer clay for a while, but I also wrote a couple  of tutorials which I' ve listed in both my ArtFire and Etsy shops. Here is a detail of the Orinendo Shawl Pin tutorial.

I recently published my newest technique which is my 23rd polymer clay tutorial.

It's called "Batik and Shimmer" because of the incredible depth of metallic, colors and texture. The tutorial has two variations on the technique. The technique is also suitable for making buttons as the finished product is washable!

I've received very good feedback with this tutorial. Here is the header photo of the tutorial, but also additional photos to show you how versatile this technique is:
