I am getting ready for a new class with new 2015 INKredible alcohol inks and polymer samples.
It was a fun adventure going back to my known alcohol inks techniques, with new knowledge I acquired during the years (INKredible was first released on 2012!).
It was a game of mix and match, adding new materials used in my newer tutorials while being loyal to the inks and previous class. I think this will be a good start for a new INKredible II class!
Coming to my class? Take a peek before starting our journey together.

New FREE polymer clay tutorial – “Billowed-Screened” technique project! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As a part of Polyform company contributing online artists team, I was requested to share a fun technique to be published online. The only request was: “Please use Sculpey III clay.”
Being a newbie with this brand of clay (never touched it before) I immediately started playing with it, checking its characteristics.
Silk screens are also new to me. Ever since I got my sample kit from Polyform my fingers were tickling to try them out.
After several tries, a new project was born combining both – silk screens are Sculpey III clay. A decorative utensil holder.
This project can be adapted into endless other uses – other holders (studio tools, makeup brushes) or even large statement jewelry such as bracelets!

I am happy to offer 2 half days classes in the polymer clay retreat “Meraki in Mani”, taking place in Stoupa, Greece, organized by Ms. Lee O’Connor.
The five day retreat will take place on October 5-9, 2015.
The aim of this retreat is working together doing what we all love, sharing knowledge, techniques and inspiration and having some new material and tools to try out as well as having time off to explore and enjoy the area.
I will be giving 2 half day workshops on Tuesday– Wednesday, October 6-7th ,2015 – The “Cosmic Ceramic” faux ceramics technique & “The Brocade Collection” purses class.
All the details about my workshops can be found in the following link – https://www.polypediaonlineexpress.com/polymer-clay-retreat-greece-october-2015-iris-mishly-workshops/ → Click here to read more
Last weekend I had a chance to work along with a fantastic group of ladies from Holland creating Skyscraper beads and Brocade-Cosmic bags.
Moon Rocks faux ceramic technique – Polymer clay purse
Brand new Samples were made to adjust the mixed techniques. I named it “When Brocade Collection purses met Moon Rock beads”, including blossoms flowers and other inclusions.
It’s really remarkable how enjoyable it is to combine courses, mix supplies, “blend” techniques and develop a totally different project each and every time – chalks, paints, pastes, powders, make up, sponges, oil pastels, with only a little bit of creativity (as well as testing) everything incorporate in a fresh looking harmony!
The Dutch guild ladies had been so artistic with their Skyscraper & Cosmic Brocade bags work; Four surface effects were presented in the course and every student took her preferred method and made a handbag from it (or two, or three!).
Pris’s Skyscraper Beads
As always my courses are free from restrictions. I enjoy watching my learners take an approach or a concept to their personal artistic style. Identical supplies, instructions and steps, appears unique in any designer hand. (Don’t tell anybody but sometimes I see my students imagination and ask myself “how didn’t I consider that?!” ;)

My polymer clay disc chic jewellery were featured in magazines, books and websites. Their design, colour, recycled materials, diversity of compositions, patterns, and fashionable look made them quite popular. The DiscChic tutorial became best seller soon after published, 2 years ago. The jewellery were created with recycled computer parts. I really found them by accident, a friend showed me some metal pieces taken apart, he wanted to throw them away for recycling, i immediately told him i will make sure they will be recycled in the most respectable way!! in my polymer clay studio! :)
After collecting them, i decided to start making jewelry out of them. Their “bezel-like” characteristics made them perfect for making beads & being made of metal made them perfect to combine with polymer clay, plus, their “donut-like” flat shape are ideal for stringing them in fun creative ways.
Up until now I have kept my ingredients a mystery, but now, I am ready to share my little secret and will be happy to see your designs, playing with these fun findings. Who knows, after watching this video you may find a treasure hidden in your office drawers.
So what are these discs? Well, they are metal discs hidden inside 3.25 computer floppy discs, Yes, the ones no longer available in computers, the ones we used ages ago before CDs or USB flash drives.
How do we remove them out of the floppy disc? Easily! by taking it apart.
Click this video to watch the process of disassembling the discs and a speedy version on how to use them in your jewellery.
Now, go get some discs, collect them from old friends still saving some, old schools, offices or computer labs have fun!
