June 15, 2001, Newsletter Issue #42: More ideas for handmade gifts!

Tip of the Week

Go collecting:
Leaves, flowers, pieces of wood, wire, shapes, kitchen tools, doilies, tablecloths any thing with texture are all great for imprinting onto clay.
Roll your slab, approx 3/4" thick, then place your texture items on the slab and roll to approx 1/2"thick, it is now ready to use.
You can place it in a slump or hump mold. Do a basic cylinder, cut into small shapes for jewellery etc.
Remember nothing beats a handmade gift, and with thought you will find the perfect thing for any individual.
*Happy Potting*
