Being stuck in the house during the freezing tundra of our North Dakota winter environment had us watching way too many polymer clay crafting videos these last few weeks and of course we had the urge to go out and buy some clay to play with...so we did. This is what happened, now life will never be the same again.

Shout out to
MO clays Youtube channel, totally hooked us and inspired the motivation to do our first Alien cane. Which turned out pretty freakin stellar if you ask us!
This cane was actually made with some super old
Craftsmart clay I got at Michaels at least 4 years ago when I worked there. Since this was our first time playing with clay we decided to see if we could get the old stuff to work before we broke open the huge sampler pack of
Primo Clay we just got. It was hard AF and almost got chucked in the trash honestly. Our hands became very sore after trying to roll out only two packs of old clay so we gave up, got a dope
clay roller and smashed the clay up enough to revive it. Then used it to create smaller canes to put together to form this alien cane an a handful of other fun beads! We ran out of black to surround the alien with so thats why it ends up looking like Slimer the ghost. Doh.

We still have a shit ton of left overs & canes from the craftsmart clay we plan on chopping up and making Heishi Beads with. They are so cool and I'm excited to make some pendants and earrings with the totally psychedelic creations. So far we've crafted up a few and we love the way the colors meld with one another making an ooak blotter totem type of effect, almost like they way the dye bonds with the fabric in tie dyeing.
Do YOU make polymer clay crafts?
