Coin keeper mentioned by Ginger Altman - Blue Bottle Tree, useful for storing extruder disks. The book is 4-1/4" x 6". will hold 120 disks. Ginger notes that the advantage of this one over others is there's a tiny flap that covers the opening, so if you pick it up upside down, the disks won't fall out. This link is for one that is $7.47. There are less expensive ones but they are shipping from China from what I can see. I wanted them now, not in a month or two......

LC Disk pattern books for disks 7 through 9 can be found out on Issuu in the LC Tools folder. There are also coloring books for those as well. I am hoping at some point they do the same for the earlier disks, but one can always look at the illustration at the end of the existing books which shows all their sets available and one can muddle together other designs. You have to create an account if you want to download but it's free.

Speaking of Skinner Blends…..in the IPCA Polymergence Issue 5 July 2014 there was a link: dynamicdrive.com
You can make Skinner blends on the computer before doing it on clay. Also might be a good place to print off a sheet of gradient of grey to photograph your items on.
Thanks to Idelle for this information
