I cannot say that I enjoyed making this post. I really feel uncomfortable with all the drama going on in our community. But, this is not the time for me to falter and stop what I usually do and that is, making content. So here is what I had been making for the past few days:
I finally made the leap back from air clay to polymer clay and, I have to be honest: I feel that I have just came back home. Not that air clay is a nasty medium.

I started by mixing these two colors:
Mix and then shape like this.
Create some texture:
Done. I did not bake it yet because I do batch baking. Its more practical, really. Don't worry. I will be showing how I do it though.....
