Polymer Clay Podcast # 66 - life and the leaf cane
Posted by Kira on 08 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: Podcasts
Next week we will be demoing the leaf cane, as I do it.(Kira) It is an exciting cane because there can be so many variations! And I will be doing a full length project for Polymer clay classroom, as well.
Our site has a virus linked to it, not our fault and it’s been a heck of a thing trying to get rid of it. But we’re working on it. You are safe if you’re on a MAC or if you have anti-virus software, which most people do. You have to click the link to get the virus, so just don’t click anything fishy-looking.
Enjoy the podcast- I created this one using Garageband and my system audio, so Ilysa sounds a tiny bit far away, but heck, my voice is always softer than hers so this week I get to be the star

Polymer Clay Podcast # 60 - silkscreening your clay, and What’s a Podcast?
Posted by Kira on 26 Jun 2008 | Tagged as: Podcasts
Please stop by our Important Survey page to take our demographics survey. We would really like to know who our listeners are, and so would our podcast sponsors. Ilysa is going to CHA next month, and is planning on talking to the companies that would be interested in our show, and they will want to know the info we are asking. It will really help us and will take less than a minute of your time. Thanks!
This week, Ilysa talks about how wonderful it is to use tiny silkscreens to transfer patterns onto your clay. We also discuss the internet topics, What is a podcast, and What is an RSS feed? It appears that some of our audience aren’t totally familiar with the terms. A Podcast is basically a privately run radio show (videocast being the privately run TV show) and an RSS feed is a way to search blogs and sites for a specific topic, and have updates delivered to you via a “feed” that comes through a feed site, or your email. It’s a quick and easy way to get updated information from your favorite sites on your favorite topics, without having to visit 50 websites every day to check for updates manually.
