This nice set of 64 half stick pastels will provide you with the colors you need to create art or use on polymer clay. These are compact and nice for travel, although the are not as soft or saturated as PanPastels.
With a lot of experimentation and a year of tweaking, I have discovered many mixed media techniques, including the aplication of pastels to polymer clay. There is a chapter in my book, "Polymer Clay Mixed Media Jewelry" comtianing a handful of these methods with step by step photos and instructions.
Basic use is simple, the pastels can be applied or rubbed onto sheets of polymer clay (I usually use white or translucent Premo! Sculpey). You can texture the clay with my new embossing plates or rubber stamps using a spritz of water as the resist, allow the clay to dry then apply the chalks to the raised areas. The pastels adhere well to the raw clay. Then, you can streth the clay so that the pattern enlarges and the clay sheet becomes flat again, or leave the texture as is and use cutter shapes for jewelry etc. Once you have worked with the pastels (I recommend PanPastels!), you will know how they react with the clay, how much to use and you will get better at avoiding unwated chalk dust getting onto the background of the piece.

SAMPLE BRACELET USING KIT
Jewelry Findings
The quality silver plated bracelet kit pictured above, was used for the "Sicilian Spice" bracelet (pg. 74) in Shirley's book. It is great for gluing or soldiering, and you can add polymer clay, glass cabochons, buttons, glazed paper etc. The 2-piece toggle clasp (easily clasped with one hand) is antiqued silver plate with a tiny wrapped rope accent. NOTE: The bracelet kit can be ordered in FOUR custom sizes. The length listed in the drop down menu is the finished length AFTER the toggle clasp and three jump rings have already been added. It is best to order a longer length then needed and simply remove a loop or disk.

This unique 7" long scarf pin/neck warmer/skirt pin is featured as an inspiration book project (pg. 10) in Shirley's book. It is more versatile than a standard kilt pin, as you can add a long bead on the non-functional pin side, then bend the pin with pliers. The finish is silvertone. The kit includes enough silver plated 22g wire for a wrapped bead and to create a spring to cover the bended area. The three 2" long silver plated head pins can be beaded with clay or other types of beads. A silver plated jump ring is used to attach the dangles.
