I've seen some amazing polymer clay blanks and thought I would experiment. Watched a few video tutorials and figured why not, give it a try. It's not as easy as it looks, but not bad for simple patterns. I dropped $25 bucks at the craft store for an assorted pack of Sculpey III clay and a...

I have an idea for a set of pens I'd like to make for a fundraiser, and one component of that is using wild sage as the primary wood. I have not seen any offered, so I though I'd see how doable this is. I'll document the effort here if anybody else is interested. I live near a field with lots...
