An idea to pop in the search box is “aurora” which is a ingenious tute using extrusion to create aurora borealis effects.
Cynthia, with MS afflicted hands, your brilliant tute showing your extrusion set up saved my life. Nothing more liked here than a plate of luscious poly clay spaghetti waiting for inspiration to strike.
