			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been collecting Fimo Polymer Clay stuff with the desire to try and make some little cat fridge magnets or something like that.  I&#8217;ve never tried using Fimo before nor really done much in the way of sculpting so have been putting it off until I had some inspiration&#8230; or bravery <img src='http://www.darkstorm.co.uk/grete/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The mood struck me today so I got everything out then decided I really needed to learn about it first &#8211; how it feels, how easy it is to manipulate and how it looks after it&#8217;s been baked.  Since I like making jewellery I thought I would have a go at some beads.  I&#8217;d received a free heart mould when I&#8217;d bought some Fimo so thought I would use that (I also had a nice red Fimo clay).  I&#8217;m actually really pleased with the way they turned out.  They looked how I wanted them to, I could envision a use for them and most importantly, I learnt a lot about the clay.  My fingers ache now with all the kneading but it was worth it <img src='http://www.darkstorm.co.uk/grete/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Here is a pic of the finished beads!</p>
