I've been playing with Polymer Clay lately, and so far have not had a lot of success. I did this because I want to do some Damascus with metal colors, but used these colors first for practice. All-in-all I'm not all that unhappy with the way it turned out. I like the look even though it is pink.
Still a lot of room for improvement though. I don't know why, but for some reason the clay did not stick to the tubes, and it also seemed sort of flimsy when I managed to slide one of the tubes out to glue it in. I can't really tell for sure what went wrong since I baked two different types/brands at the same time, so this one was baked at a higher than called for temp. That wasn't all that much a concern as this was just practice anyway.
I know it doesn't fit the bushings right, but that's because I just didn't want to push my luck with the tubes wanting to slide out (kind of). I probably should have just junked it and started over, but I liked the look so much it seemed a waste to through it out just because it was sub-par.
Thanks for looking. All comments and critiques welcome.
