So, while I am off taking photos and notes for future blogs and articles, why don&#8217;t you try this unusual, but older, technique that involves creating long ribbons of polymer.<\/p>\n<p>The tutorial was originally created by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.norajean.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nora Jean Stone<\/a> for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcpolyzine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Polymer Clay Polyzine<\/a> some 13 years ago, but it&#8217;s still a relevant technique today that I really think could use some more exploration. The depth and patterning results of this approach could be dramatically altered\u00a0by changing up the layers and the way the ribbon is folded, as well as choosing solid or mica clays or a combination of them. \u00a0Have you ever \u00a0tried it? If you haven&#8217;t, wouldn&#8217;t you like to?<\/p>\n<p>Go get yourself some time in the studio with this or any of the other neat tips and tutorials dug up for you this week. See what surprises you have in store for yourself!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0If you like this blog, support The Polymer Arts projects with a subscription or issue of The
