Making beads, necklaces, sculpture, miniatures and making dolls are ongoing projects here along with all sorts of other media work, including these web pages detailing it all. Aunt Acid is a polymer clay headed puppet with a cloth body. She wears polymer clay accessories too, of course, and hand dyed clothing along with vintage bits and pieces. Read more about her at her website, which is also a work in progress! In the process of putting together The Aunt Acid Show we are building mosaic sets and props, dyeing curtains and costumes, and getting all sorts of stuff and nonsense to come together in new ways. It’s a project that is going to have many sub-parts, and so takes a long time to bring it all together. |

Use polymer clay to make Holiday Ornaments using cookie cutters! It is so much fun to decorate holiday cookies–its even better when you make them out of polymer clay, and can enjoy them for years to come! This featured project can be done with other shapes as well as the bears and stars that are shown. It is also a good idea to have a separate batch of cutters to use for clays, and to keep the food and clay tools separate. Although polymer clays ARE certified non-toxic, being careful is always a good thing when dealing with art supplies of any sort. You don’t want anyone to get baked clay in their next bite of cookie.
