I know that everything is supposed to go better with bacon and somewhere, somebody has already baked Premo with bacon. But not I, she said.
This post is about failure. Not only my failure to hear correctly when someone recommended mixing Premo with Bake and Bend (not bacon bits) so it would be more flexible, but also about the failure of my experiment to make an easy-off-easy-on flexible bangle out of polymer.
I know, I know, there are dozens of ways to do it and I have in fact make a few bangles myself quite successfully. Still, when a new possibiliy for ruining clay comes my way, I jump at it. <Ahem> Shall we begin?











I put the bracelet into bake and it was then that my troubles began. The mess you see below is what came out of the oven.

Looks like it’s back to the drawing board! Suggestions welcome.
Perhaps the heat from the wire caused the cracking.
Could be. But then the other side should have cracked too, don’t you think? Maybe it was rebaking the clay in a different shape that the original baking and the side that got stretched more got cracked. 🤔
Try adding some egg to go with your bacon!
I have plenty of egg on my face!
Just call it the latest facial mask!
Works for me!😊
