Spicing it Up

There is something about the colder weather that pushes me to use more and more spice in the kitchen. Unfortunately, I have some weird allergies including allergies to wonderful spices like cinnamon and allspice. Ugh! That makes this a horrible time of year in the states where these spices are everywhere. But if I can’t eat them, at least I can clay with them!
Spices can add colors, visual texture and even scent to your polymer! Here is a necklace by Sylvie Papillon that is all colored with spices and herbs.
If you haven’t tried adding spice, here is her chart with a number of spices and herbs kneaded into translucent clay–Curry, turmeric, paprika, cumin, mixed herbs, ginger, saffron and flower petals.
