What did you set them in? I like cab magnets, you work so darn hard on a cab and when they crack you hate to just toss them sometimes!

Very nice. I've done a bunch of these. If you really want them to stick get rare earth magnets. They are pretty expensive compared to standard magnets but they never fall off.

Thanks everybody for the kind words!Polymer Clay is a baking clay that is workable and turns hard when it is baked in an oven.I will be using some different clay than what i`m using for fridge magnets.I`m just using it to learn some texture ideas and some practice right now before i start on my pendants...............................Rocky

I used Kato Polyclay for some Dino Bone keychains for Christmas. It works really well and has protected the stones nicely. Jo

You can also do this with all those leftover tumbled stones. A long while ago someone posted some pics their "rock rascals" - I think that's what they called the little creatures. Attach some googly eyes and magnets. My kids and their friends had a blast. A fun activity for their get-togethers. Got a bunch hangin around.
