\"\"<\/a>In the US today, it is Labor Day. It\u2019s a day to recognize and honor our working citizens. And we do\u2026 Most people get the day off as a thank you. Unless you work for yourself and your \u201cboss\u201d is a slave driver. I will join in our tradition of barbecues and games later but I\u2019m working hard and wrapping up the fall issue, finally. It looks fantastic and will be a great send off to The Polymer Arts<\/em> title. The release date has been set for the 22nd<\/sup>! You can preorder on The Polymer Arts<\/em> website<\/a> for the single issue.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, whether you are in the US and join the holiday or elsewhere working, I thought I\u2019d share a little something to do when you settle down tonight. I\u2019ve seen these pins by syndee holt<\/a> before but didn\u2019t realize that Polyform had posted a video<\/a> tutorial for them. What a fantastic and eye-catching texture this technique creates.<\/p>\n

As syndee mentions in the video, this type of work is very relaxing and meditative as well as resulting in a beautiful polymer sheet to cut and use as you please. Her method does require the use of the pearling tool produced by Polyform but if you don\u2019t have the pearling tools, use small hole punchers and seed beads.\u00a0Click the image to go to the video.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019m going to leave you in the capable hands of\u00a0syndee holt<\/a> while I go get some more work done before I get a chance to play. Also, you can follow syndee’s experiments and ideas on her blog here<\/a>. Enjoy your Labor Day or I hope you\u2019ve enjoyed your Monday!<\/p>\n
