Polymer Clay and Paper Beads

I try to practice ordinary courage everyday by doing little things that I normally “hate” or “scared” to do.  I have been  drooling over yummy polymer clay creations on youtube and admiring the work of several talented artists.  It can be scary sometimes to try new things don’t you think?  I know I feel this way because of fear of failure.  What if the outcome is disappointing?  Well, here I am taking the plunge and I want you to see it.

I learned from my research on polymer clay that there are two things you MUST do: condition your clay really well (I just conditioned the clay for these cup cakes by hand) and sand it after to take out smudges like thumb prints.
