Q: I have just recently gotten into experimenting with polymer clays. I remember hearing or reading somewhere, before I got into clay, that there is a two-part mold-making material that is intended for clay use. I'd like to make some of my own molds. What are my options that will complement the nature and characteristics of the clay?

Q: I am interested in working with metal clay but was wondering if there is a difference between the silver clay and the pure silver that you can buy.

Q: A friend of mine is a jewelry maker whose style is very different from mine. We both want to sell at the same local arts event, and she suggested we split a booth and sell together to save money.

Q: I have several colors of Kato Polyclay that have hardened in the air. Can I return them to their original texture?

Q: I had some left over Art Clay and wrapped it back into the original packaging. When I went to work with it again a few weeks later, it crumbled. I added some water and put it back in the packaging but it is still in pieces. Can you suggest another way of reconstituting it?

Q: How can I preserve flowers to be used in resin pendants?
