Post Subject: PDX Church of Craft March Meeting
The next Portland, OR Church of Craft meeting will be Sunday, March 20 from 11:30 - 2:30. We meet at Rimsky-Korsacoffeee House, 707 SE 12th (at Alder). if you're forwarding this to someone who's never been before, it's the big old red house at the corner of SE 12th and Alder. There is no sign out front.
Our free craft class this month will be a Polymer Clay Clinic. There will be several events: a cool, almost Tim-Burtonesque technique for sculpting cats, a demonstration of techniques for modeling Tiki figures, some basic millefiori and bead-making techniques. If you have some polymer clay skill and would like to share a technique with the group, just drop me a line.
If you'd like to participate in the class, please email me for a supply list: sisterdg@churchofcraft.org.
. . . As always, you are also welcome to bring your favorite craft project and enjoy the coffee, company, and creativity. We'll have complimentary coffee and Rimsky's fabulous desserts for sale.

Post Subject: corn starch resin? any homemade clays?
has anyone seen the corn starch resin beads at EverybodyGreen.com? They are calling them eco-friendly and selling them as part of a No Plastic campaign. I'm searching all over to find out where i can get the material they are made of ..or a recipe to make it. Any one have any ideas??
...and btw, if they are made of cornstarch flour and a polymer resin, is that really plastic-free? i guess i'll buy a set to see what they really feel like. i dont really love the feel of PMC and hoping this is an alternative...and if i can make my own, woohoo!
I'd be interested in hearing ANY homemade clay recipe ideas for bead making...

Oh my god! Your beads are stunning!!! And thank you for de-mystifying the bead making process on your site. I certainly donīt think I could ever be skilled enough to do it, but itīs truly fascinating.
I love making jewellery and I hope one day, I can use beads as beautiful as yours.
