You could go to the dollar store,buy some bowls with a shape you like,paint them on the inside ,and glue something on them for a stem.You wouldn't have to worry about the paint as it's on the inside. I do this to make spinners from plastic 2 and 3 ltr bottles.First with the bottles I cut pictures from fabric,or magazines,decoupage it to the inside of the bottle that I've cut the bottom off of.When that's dry,i take those foam brushes and paint over the picture on the inside as well.I'll try to find a picture to show you after I have my dinner.

Rosie- in my opinion there is surely enough interest to sustain a publication on Polymer clay. You have to have a good printing house and it is pretty much a full time effort to publish anything of quality. Say, with the level of Expressions, or the Somerset publications. You just touch the cover and the feel of the paper lets you know this is a good magazine. There are publishers that deal with niche market hobbies & I wish one of them would get on board. Anyway, the guild is for anybody regardless of skill level. As long as you love PC you can join. Even my personal favorite, the incomparable Kathleen Dustin was a beginner at one time, lol! Karen

Have you tried buying it on Ebay? When I was big into Polymer Clay a few years back I bought A LOT of it on ebay at very reasonable prices. I don't know what your budget is so what was reasonable to me may not be to you. Have you considered making cinnamon dough ornaments? They are quite easy and the smell lasts for years - I've got some that are going on 4 years now and are still quite fragrant. You just use regular cookie cutters to cut them out, poke a hole near the top before you bake so you can add a hanger or a ribbon. I painted mine afterward, but you don't have to do that, there is no hard and fast rule. If you punch Cinnamon Ornaments into google you will see some great images. The recipe is super simple as well - 1 cup ground cinnamon 4 tablespoons white glue 3/4 to 1 cup water NOT edible, obviously...lol. I've done lots of work with Polymer clay, if you need further help or with the cinnamon ornaments, feel free to email me. I don't know if the average person can make Polymer Clay. Salt dough might work, though. Hope this gets the idea juices flowing. Suzan J Here is a link that might be useful: Fairly Cheap Polymer Clay
