The Great Reveal #1 ~IMPROVED POLYMER CLAY SHUTTLES

Yes its true I have been tirelessly working on shuttles trying to make them stronger, it actually happened by accident I was working with resin and dumped it on a shuttle. Oops, so instead of ruining the shuttle by wiping it off and smudging the paint, I left it dry... The shuttle looked BEAUTIFUL, and like I usually do I did a bend and break test I pretty much folded it in half and no breakage, it was a larger one so I can imagine a smaller shuttle would break sooner. It was more bendable, I really love this new discovery... I will have them available soon in my Clay Shop http://heathersclaydesigns.etsy.com/ I plan on putting some up today, keep in mind alot more work goes into these new shuttles and they now take me over a week to complete from printing, making, baking, coloring, resining, and drying. So therefore they will be a bit more expensive than before...
