The Force is Strong with This One

For some reason, and I hope there are others like me, when I'm absolutely swamped with orders, I like to drop everything and start a random craft such as this Clay Polymer lightsaber.. -_-

In highschool, I loved all art classes. In fact, my senior year, I had an opportunity to graduate 2 months early but chose to take every art class I could in an 8-hour school day. Among the painting, drawing, photography, and woodwork, sculpting was my absolute favorite. 

So all this time, I wanted to work with clay but have no access to a kiln. I almost bought a used one off a retired art teacher.. but then remembered I lived in a small bedroom in my brothers house so.. that idea kind of went out the window. 
Cue clay polymer. Did you know you only have to bake it in the oven for 15 minutes? WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS?! So naturally, once I did the research, I went for this little beauty. Now.. it's not my greatest work, but it beats paying $75 for a custom set off Etsy. Not to mention, I prefer the "inline hook".. which is nearly impossible to find a full set as it is.  All you crocheters out there, aren't gripped hooks just the best? After using this newly gripped hook, I made a whole set for myself. 

Now when Vader calls me to join the dark side, I'll be ready!
