Tutorial - Creating a Mold from Air Dry Clay

 This tutorial will show you the results I get when I use 

my favorite tried & true air dry clay!

I have another tutorial where I tested several different clays

and found that this one is by far the best.

You can view the clay test results at:

The clay that I really love is made in Holland for 

Polyform Products in the USA.

NOTE:  The previous name was Polyform Air Dry clay.

It truly picks up all details.

It doesn't crack or break, as it has some small pliable qualities.

Here are the steps I used to make my Christmas Card molds.

REIMAGINED layouts - Converted to Gali & Lucy Layouts

 Have you ever had a layout(s) that you really love except for the photo 

that was used on it when it was created?

Well, that has happened to me for the 1st time ever in all my crafting years.

I really LOVED these two layouts, 

but no longer wanted the photos that were on them.

They no longer have the same meaning for me,

nor do they give me the same feelings as when I created the layouts.

So, it was definitely time for a good change!

I replaced the photos by simply

adhering the new ones on top of the existing ones!

This was a very very very easy conversion.

These new layouts of my beloved cats, Gali & Lucy, 

now hang on my Family Wall.

Don't they look FABULOUS? 

I named this one "Lucy 2-16-23"

This one is "Gali 6-6-23"

I'm very pleased that I used these beautiful layouts 

for the two most precious girls in my life, 

my beloved Lucy & Gali.

Happy New Year Everyone!

I pray we see needed changes in our world in 2024.

Blessings,

Lisa
