They say it’s a poor workman who blames his tools, and while that’s true, it sure is wonderful to have nice tools!
It wasn’t until I invested in a quality pasta machine that I started to feel serious about my polymer clay art.
The first one was in 2013, a “monafied” Atlas 180.
Since then Ed Street started powder coating these machines, and wow, they are gorgeous!
When the time came to get a second machine for my recording studio, of course I wanted one of these pretties.
I requested mine to blend from teal/turquoise to purple. It makes me so happy to look at it!
Check out the video to learn why I love both these machines and see if they’d be a good fit in YOUR creative space.
