Last week I got bored with not being able to sew, because I'd been packing and my room was a mess.

Now my sewing machine and fabrics are all packed up too. *sniff* I didn't have enough time to work on my new pattern. It will have to wait until next month. Sorry ladies (and guys)!

Anyway, I exerted my stored up energies toward polymer clay. This stuff is really so fun and affordable.

I just made a little takoyaki (they are like octopus hush puppies) charm thing.

I shaped the clay, baked them, and painted over them with cheapo acrylic. Then I glazed them with Sculpey gloss.

The finish is pretty nice. It's not tacky like Mod Podge, but it's pretty stiff.
Sorry for the poor pictures, my octopus balls are sitting with my potential future employer right now undergoing rigorous review. :P
