Polymer Clay: Ocean Bookmarks


Christi Friesen style bookmarks.  I just could not put down her books down and made all of these different projects.  Here is a good example of the "look at" blends.  I used gold pen to draw on the bookmark.  I added  a hole with strings and beads knotted onto the strings.  When I baked them, the clay did not lay perfectly flat.  So, when they were done they had a curve to them.  This is not what I wanted in a bookmark.  So I put them under heavy books to flatten them out.  And it worked fine.

I used thickness setting 1 on the pasta machine.  In hindsight I would probably run this thinner, 5,  so the bookmark is thinner and sits in the book better. 

Happy Creating!
