Having a passion for both paper and polymer clay can be frustrating.  By its nature, paper creates dust and polymer clay attracts every single particle of that dust.  If I want to work with light colored clays, <em>especially<\/em> white, I must clean every single surface before I begin.  Otherwise, my clay is dirty and dull the moment it hits the table.<\/p>\n<p>A note about the wire paper-rack pictured above:  DON&#8217;T buy one.  It&#8217;s the most obnoxious, evil little invention in existence and, when I find the right replacement, I&#8217;m going to bend this one into a flower pot.  Granted, it&#8217;s probably not designed to hold 2,000 pounds of paper, but the whole point of putting wheels on something is so it can be <em>rolled<\/em> around.  Yeah, not so much with this.  Even at a fourth of the paper on the concrete floor it pulls apart at the little plastic thingamajigs meant to hold it together.  Jon has taught me (patiently, I might add) that purchasing cheap equipment is more expensive in the long run.  If you&#8217;re making a long term investment in yourself and your craft, save yourself some grief &mdash; invest in good, well built (and where possible &mdash; well reviewed) tools and equipment.<\/p>\n<p>May your weekend be an adventure like no other.<\/p>\n<p>Arrivederci!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I share my creative space with the TV, the Wii, the portions of our household server not tucked into the closet beside the stairs, and a defunct fireplace insert.
