Faux Sea/Beach Glass by Fimo Polymer Clay

As I virtually flipped my way through my digital copy of The Polymer Arts, I hit an ad that solved a problem I had given up on.

I love the look of sea glass and tried to emulate it with translucent polyclay.  Mine turned out disappointing.  It wasn't at all as transparent as it needed to be.  I didn't want to waste more time and effort, so I moved on to another project.  But today I saw an advertisement for an app I didn't even know existed.  Best yet, it was compatible with my android phone!

 The Staedtler-Fimo app has all sorts of cool projects, including making faux beach glass!  How cool is that???

The interface is a little weird at first, but on the home screen you have three options:


1.  Choose the type of clay you are working with.




2.  Select the type of project you want.



3.  Choose the level of difficulty.

Without much trouble I found the project I had wanted. (Don't worry, the home screen will be in English.)

You can also e-mail the tutes from the app or post them on Facebook!  Very cool!
