Can you draw on Polymer clay?

I am making polymer clay jewelry and have learned about transferring pictures to the clay. Cool. But can I draw on polymer clay with like markers or something and have a good effect? Just curious.

Thanks

You can not only draw and paint on polymer clay with various colorants (usually on baked clay, but also sometimes on raw clay), but you can draw or paint *with* polymer clay or liquid polymer clay on polymer clay, and you can draw/paint something on paper/etc then transfer an image of that drawing to polymer clay.... etc!

Certain kinds of inks/paints/colorants should not be used on polymer clay though, and occasionally some just work better than others.
The ones that should not be used are any that contain petroleum-based solvents --those that clean up with paint thinner for example. (Some clear finishes are also in that category, as well as propellants of otherwise-safe paints or clear finishes. For paints, often the ones called "enamels" would be in that bad category too).

You can read a *load* of info about all those possibilties and topics at my polymer clay "encyclopedia" site, especially on these pages:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/paints.htm
http://glassattic.com/polymer/letters_inks.htm (look in the *INKS* section)
Those pages may suggest other pages at the site too for specific things... use the alphabetical navigation bar to move around the site.
(And this is my Transfers page if you don't know the *bazillion* ways that can be done with clay:

HTH, and have fun!

Jewelry buying is a more acceptable job for girls. There are tons of ideas that women have in purchasing jewelry than men. in fairness to men, they also have the liberty to buy and select jewelries for their special lady.

Choosing jewelries for family isn't an easy job, especially in the part of men. Few men only can determine the right jewelry with right designs and stone in it. For a man, buying jewelries can be confusing rather than enjoying. It is awfully frightening on their part when purchasing jewelries for the special lady in their lives. Sometimes they would prefer not to give jewelry ; instead, they just give out flowers and chocolates to be safe. But giving presents to someone that's very special to you gives you the reason of putting extra effort like buying some very special jewelry. Homework is necessary in doing this task for men. Few areas to be studied like understanding how to choose valuable and semi precious stones, kinds of metals and their values, the 4 C's of diamonds, the pattern and pricing, well-liked trends, and the local retailer where to buy selected jewelry.

This task for men will not take too much of their time, however it is always good to have basic ideas on the best way to select the right jewelry before entering a jewelry shop. But this is not a reason not to ask for questions and ideas from the sellers. Before going to buy jewelry it is always best to perform a little research on your own try researching tips about how to pick gold charm jewelry if that is what you are looking to buy and you will find tons of information,

For a man that wants to know what his girl wants, he has to observe some existing collections that his girl generally wears. He will ask question about the favourite jewelry of his special girl, if he observes that his woman usually wears metal jewelries, he has to know what the cause behind it is. Sometimes women stop wearing a particular jewelry because there is a missing stone. A man can again ask his girl in an off-the-cuff way or he will be able to simply look in her jewelry box whenever she isn't around. A present does not always have to be expensive, some girls like polymer clay jewelry which can be cheap but suitable.

After a series of observations, a man has now some concepts of what he should buy for his girl. Next thing is to investigate for shops where to get a good assortment of select jewelry. A man can ask for suggestions and recommendations from pals or from his folks. He can even try looking through the Internet ; this may help him narrow down some names.

For men it is best to take a little time to select a specific piece of jewelry for someone special, this may make sure that you finish up choosing a piece which has a high quality rather than purchasing a cheaper option. He wants to make sure that the jewelry he is going to buy can represent his love and admiration, and something that can persist for a whole life. As usual online shopping can be a lot simpler and save lots of time. The hottest place for buying is eBay so use eBay to find inexpensive beads and other jewelry.
