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.
