I know it's sorta early for Christmas, but good. Therefore, my brother does not know what to get our little sister for Christmas and I do not know well. She is indeed 8 years old. We do not want to get any clothes, games, movies and toys that would be worthless after a while. We can not ask her also because of problems with communication. Something that would be useful to her. There is a clock, crayons, markers, school supplies, makeup, jewelry, games and education / movies. Sorry to be> demanding Hope> that might give some good ideas (:. Thanks ~
What a porcelain tea set? Like a really good? Then give her a piece every Christmas or birthday, and once you have the entire collection would be able to appreciate it. Those things go up in value as they age. This time 8 is a bit young to think about getting her one of these, but it is the best I could reach, still fit into their criteria. Merry Christmas Hope it helps

How to make and enamel resistant to heat polymer clay projects or oven cleaner in clay, others?
I took a ceramics / sculpture class and loved it. I would like to make glass projects, clay in the country to endure the heat without the hassle and cost of a furnace. For example, I have an incense burner that I bought and I love the way it works but I like the way it looks. Has incense stick at the base and there is a cover with holes that allow gas smoke. Works great and contains the ashes, so that no mess. Its just ugly, I bought it because it contains the ashes. I would like to make one with the same idea but with a design different so it looks better. I have no access to an oven, but I have a furnace. Is this possible? If so, how?
Different types of "clay" may have different amounts of heat before it gets dark, burns, etc. The types of clay soil that is often heated in a furnace can be very hot because they are basically "Muck" and mineral / stone. Soil clays can only be air dried, although more glass and / or fired in the oven and still have that amount heat, but be more fragile than if they had been the fiery furnace. The "oven baked" clay (polymer clay – Fimo, Kato, Premo, Sculpey, etc) that can be heated in a home oven to harden are actually plastic, and can only take a certain amount of heat (about 275 or so to 385 burns and smoke emitting thick black unhealthy). It is often used to make various types of incense, candles, votive holders, etc, and will be fine as long as real flame burning or ash long is too close to the clay (or in the case of the flame directly under the clay). Added later **** *********** And here are some messages I posted in Craftster.org having to do with this … (My computer froze … back now): http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=209846.msg2255201 # Msg2255201 http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=286157.0 There are also several types of "air dry" clay you can buy or make at home that can be used to do things, but will burn in oven temperatures or sometimes even at temperatures of polymer clay. Those are based on the grain / flour or products role, perhaps mixed with some minerals. A good brand of air-dried clay that can be purchased at Creative Paper Clay, two homemade dishes air dry would be good bread clay "and" salt dough "clay. Any of these can have a stain or clear end put on them after they are dried or cured, and often can have its color has changed things in the mix before shaping clay, although clay polymer also come in earlier versions of color. If you are interested in some of the things related to the incense that have been made with polymer clay, check out these pages on my polymer clay "encyclopedia" the site (though not all the links still work): http://glassattic.com/polymer/sculpture.htm (click on the category called * Sculpture Other Items *, Then scroll to the long paragraph on "incense holders, etc.) And here are some pictures of that sort of thing online is: http://images.google.com/images?q=polymer+clay+incense (Of course, using polymer clay colors, patterns, sizes and forms could be almost anything you want) And these pages will be the same possibilities. chandeliers, light shining through, etc http://glassattic.com/polymer/covering.htm (Click on glass and ceramics * *) ships of various types (boxes, containers, etc) http://glassattic.com/polymer/vessels.htm And this is a page that talks "heat" and polymer clay (baking, etc.): Coloring http://glassattic.com/polymer/baking.htm polymer clay (including the picture itself) and adding a clear finish would be covered in their own pages on the site.

I want to print date on the web, but can not find a company to do so. Any suggestions?
I'm making a quilt, and found some good appointments to use, but other / more than that offered by the fabric stores. I'll buy my own fabric, I just need someone to professionally print quotes here for me. Does anyone know if this is possible?
It is definitely possible. Not sure if you have a budget or a price in mind, but this site may custom printed fabric, and do not have much. http://www.spoonflower.com/welcome
