My kreation of the day is a tutorial.
Someone over at polymer clay central had a question about getting Sculpey rolled through a pasta machine with out ending up with a sticky mess. I use sculpey all the time in my mokume ganes. Wax paper and letting the clay rest between passes through the past machine are the keys.

Well the post I made is somewhere in limbo, but I wasn’t very satisfied with the final project, so I’m going to try again later, because I really wanted to make something cool to burn little tea lights in. But this was my little candle holder:
Its a canning jar that previously held some spaghetti sauce. I wrapped the outside in translucent paper, although after burning it for a while I became a bit more paranoid about how warm the sides of the jar were becoming. I might try painting the outside of the jar instead, acrylic perhaps? I’m not sure what would be best just yet. I also have some wire I might play around with too.
