    Find out my answer to listener Hillary’s question about when to use liquid polymer clay and when to use acrylic paint.  In my research I learned a new use for liquid polymer clay that I had never heard of.  If there is a topic you would like me to cover in a future episode, send me an email at Haley@HoldenANote.com

  • Episode 10: Making My Own Silkscreen Stencil
    Oct 21 2022

    In today’s episode I’m discussing my latest project - creating my own silkscreen stencil!  I used my cricut to cut out a design from removable vinyl, stuck it to this silkscreen mesh, and then used it to create some beautiful polymer clay pieces.  You can see other pieces made with silkscreen stencils in my latest collection on www.HoldenANote.com.

  • Episode 9: Shimmer in Clay and Finishing Edges
    Oct 14 2022

    Today I’m talking about two clay bodies with different shimmer particles.  Can you guess which one I’m going to prefer?  I also have an update on the opal clay I tried a few episodes ago.  Finally I talk about a different technique for finishing the edges of pieces that I think has a lot of use for particular situations.  

    Here are the links to Sculpey Premo White Gold Glitter clay and the earrings from my most recent collection that use the Indigo Metallic Sculpey Premo clay.
