\"Crayons\" Treat yourself to a box of 64 crayons and clear some space in\u00a0your studio. \u00a0Its time\u00a0for the return of Saturday School<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Starting next Saturday, September 11th, I will be expanding on the exercises in Lindly’s<\/a> and my book, Color Inspirations.\u00a0 Last year we covered Chapters 1 to 5. \u00a0This year we will start with some crayon\u00a0warm-up exercises and then \u00a0move on to Chapter 6.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0a\u00a0teaser for\u00a0my\u00a0upcoming “class assignments,” here’s an idea based on Chapter 2’s Pivot Bead exercise. Follow the directions for making pivot beads but, instead of making beads,\u00a0cut the striped snakes into longer pieces\u00a0and\u00a0make split rings for a monochromatic\u00a0chain featuring the many variations of your pivot color.<\/p>\n

Enjoy Cynthia Tinapple’s<\/a> new video tutorial\u00a0of my\u00a0technique\u00a0for making split rings.\u00a0\u00a0Here’s a worksheet with templates and dimensions for three different sized split rings. Split Ring Worksheet3<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve made strong and flexible split rings with Premo and Kato clay. They should work with most clays. You don’t have to add\u00a0bendable clay though it certainly wouldn’t hurt to try.<\/p>\n

There are endless variations possible. Explore and send me your photos!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
