08-20-11: That is the logo that will be at the beginning and end of my polymer clay YouTube videos. It has been four years since I uploaded any videos to AuntyAlias's YouTube Channel. I held off because my hardware was crappy. My software didn't scale up with my new computer three years ago. Then I went through the divorce. Now that my son bought me new hardware and software I am able to create new polymer clay oriented videos for my ClayMates. For now the videos are embedded on the home page and in the Monthly Highlights.  I intend to also embed the videos in the web sections where they are most relevant. You know how I run things here: belt, suspenders and safety pins. Thank you all for being so patient while I ramp up my tech.

New YouTube Video Tutes

 

Some videos will be either repeated on pages, or there will be links to the "basic" page because they will be relevant.

02-14-2013: Valentines Day "Melt-assacre" I used BicStic (grey) to cover the first batch of pens. A YouTube subscriber said that they melted on her. I took a sample pen and tossed it into the oven, not taking care to make sure that the temperature was correct. The pen melted into a horrible mess. I thought it was the brand of pen. It was not. It was my error. JulieS, our beloved Swap Mistress, write to me saying "The Bic Stic (grey) works fine. Cure it in corn starch at 270F for a half hour." She was correct, bless her heart. So this is my Bic Stic Error Page.
