One cool thing about Layl's class is that she has trays of small blobs of polymer clay colors on all the tables; mixed, all sorts of shades, ready for students to use!

Another really neat aspect to her class is that you needed very little in the way of tools - a rolling tool, a work surface, and a blade. No pasta machine required - as a matter of fact, Layl says she does not use a pasta machine (what? no pasta machine? wow!!)... which means that the newbies in the class did not have to purchase any special equipment to take the class.
This took me back to my first polymer clay experience... no pasta machine... a tile... wallpaper scraper blades... a brayer... and I had a ball!! (Except for conditioning the old Fimo clay!)




Because we had so many colors to choose from, no cane turned out even remotely alike. And yet, they were all beautiful. So unique!!

That class sounds fabulous. Your photos give me a greater appreciation for the level of detail involved in working with polymer clay.

Some of those butterflies were exquisite, Jael. Awesome.
That looks SO cool. You must have infinite patience to create something so intricate and beautiful.
