The best of New Zealand, throw my eyes…

2007-10-04T06:33:00.000+02:00

One of the reasones I fell in love with New Zealand the way that I did was the Art, New Zealand is overflowing with Art, more then one present of the countries annual income comes from the arts and thy are everywher , unfortunately for me there was no polymer clay to find, (or maybe I just didn’t look in the right places) but what I did find, that that was so special, and I wont to share some of it with you….

The best of New Zealand, throw my eyes… the best art gallery i visited in New Zealand was located in the bay of islands, in a tiny drowsy town by the name of Russell it used to be New Zealands capital and was also known as the Hellhole of the Pacific. now its a picturesque little town. the gallery owner, a lovely women, has a magnificent eye and although she didn't have any polymer clay products (an outrage) her gallery just imagine was the best one i visited during my 3 month stay. the website dose not do it Justis.

anther uonic place is the wood carving garden witch is located at the entrance to Abel Tasman national park (Marahau) it is small but breathtakingly beautiful.

Hamish is a wonderful artist and I was taken by his jewelry he combines pebbles and metal in his pieces and the finish product is just.....perfect. . His brand name is continuum.

More beautiful Art.

So I'm Back!

2007-09-25T13:03:00.000+02:00

I took a gap year and went traveling. And Ho MY GOD, New Zealand. It is a beautiful, quiet, peaceful, breathtaking place and I'm officiali in love with it. ever since i left there i miss it and am planing to going back for another visit.

the drawback to this beautiful wonderful exciting trip i toke, was the severe withdrawal from polymer clay i went throw. But now I'm back and after 8 months away from my pasta machine and I'm ready to get back to business.

Unfortunately the clay dose not agree with me. (maybe he is angry because i left?) In the meantime i am without inspiration... and everything i try to make doesn't come out right :(

I will be putting up anther cane tutorial, I hope by the end of October. its something i wonted to do before i left and hadn't had the time, if u wont a snick pic, its the turquoise flower 2 posts down.

its good to be back,
even if the clay Isn't cooperating....

I DO like to do the dishes (IN CLAY)

2006-04-21T01:02:00.000+03:00

this is my second dish, it is smaller then the first bat sadly has the same amount of air bubbles in it. i really wont to CRAY. it seems i cant get rid of the pesky little things, bat i decided i don't care (right). any way i really really like this one, the cane design is a happy accident and that cooler of turquoise is exactly my favorite.

if anybody has any advise on how to get rid of air bubbles besides be careful when you place the clay on the surfers and yous a needle i will love you for ever for shearing it with me. and plas you will save me from tearing my hair off!

sorry about the pics thy didn't came out that good.

מכינים יריעות של פימו, בצבעים איתם רוצים לעבוד על הרמה הכי עבה במכונה (1) בדרך כלל.

חותכים לפי העין לרצועות דקות, אני עובדת כאן עם אורך קצר ועובי דק, בשביל ההדגמה. אפשר לעבוד עם כל אורך ועובי.

מכינים יריעה מפימו לבן בעובי הדק ביותר (9) או אם זה דק מדי אפשר (8) זה לא משנה.

מניחים את הרצועות על היריעה הלבנה, כמה שיותר צמוד אחד לשני - התוצאה תהיה:צבע,לבן,צבע,לבן,צבע

חותכים את היתר, משני הצדדים

ומעבירים לאורך דרך המכונה על רמה מ"ס 1 ואז 2 ואז3 עד רמה 7 כולל. עד שמקבלים משטח כזה.

חותכים את היתר משני הצדדים

ואז חותכים את המשטח באמצע.

מניכים את המשטח על עצמו פנים לפנים קח, מאוד חשוב להקפיד על הדיוק של צבע מול צבע.

זו צריכה להיות התוצאה

.מעבירים דרך המכונה, חותכים לשניים וחוזרים על הפעולה כ-15 פעמים או עד שאתן מרוצות מהתוצאה

חותכים את השאריות וזו התוצאה

Tropical Flower Tutorial

2006-01-10T11:02:00.000+02:00

by: Ari farber

the type of clay i used is fimo soft.

you take a bullseye blended cane.

and you cut it in helf, lenght ways.

you put it on a flat surface and you flatten it on 1 side,
through its entire length.

you keep doing it untill yougrt this result

you pick up the clay and start rolling it on itself.
.

then you put it back on the table and start pushing the edges together to close it.
.

this shoud be your result.

Tropical Flower Tutorial Part 2

then by using your thumb and forefinger you squeeze the top side to look like this.

you lengthen the cane till you get it to the desired thickness

then you measure it and cut it to 2 pieces. 5\8" and 3\8".
you lengthen the 3\8" piece till it gets to the length of the 5\8"

you will then have 2 canes with the same pattern that are at the same length but not at the same width.

then you cut each cane in to 5 equal pieces

you then take the thicker 5 pieces and place them in the center like so

you place the thinner 5 pieces around them.

you can then add a leaf cane (prepared in advance ) or not.

you take another color of clay and fill in the holes around the flower. (I like to make the fill in clay into a long triangle and fill the gaps with that)

then reduce.

cut a slice and enjoy your new cane.
