Using foils with polymer clay

[lkngoodmk]

I'm researching working with polymer clay as well as PMC before I begin buying materials and I have a question about using foil sheets with the polymer.  I flipped through a book at a craft store (should go back and buy it) and they were making a pendant overlaid with dichroic looking foil.  I've had a really hard time finding sources that sell that kind of foil- maybe I'm not doing the right kind of search?

Any info would be most appreciated.

Hi Lkngoodmk and welcome,

We used to sell some foil sheet but no longer have a source for this item.  

I did a quick search and found a discussion on the Bead and Button forum on exactly this  topic.

Dichro looking foil - that sounds like the varigated metal leaf that is frequently available, sometimes called composition Metal LEAF

Doing a search for "variegated metal leaf"
pulled the following site - you should check it out

http://www.glassattic.com/polymer/MainPages/leaf.htm

and a number of art supply sites that sell various selections of leaf and foil.
Happy Hunting

Thanks so much you all!  That Glass Attic is an amazing resource.

It may have been Jones Tones Foils.  They have a dichroic look.  You can probably find it with a google search.

many online sources for polymer clay supplies carry the foil transfer sheets, Jones Tones foils is the most frequently found.
