New additions to my Studio
First, just to let you know, I didn’t do a Featured Smoosher post last week because that person was me for the week. But, I did get two sales during my week as the Featured Smoosher, yay! One was a set of non-clay earrings, and the other was both sets of my snowmen charms. Anyway. [...]
New in the Studio – Space themed items
The Polymer Clay Smoosher’s challenge theme this month was “Space”. I created two items and posted them late last night. First, a rather irritated alien lady. She has three eyes, and glows in the dark: My second item, is a stylized Blue Moon pendant, which also glows in the dark: They’re both made with glow [...]
Spotlight on: Valerie’s Stuff
This week’s featured Polymer Clay Smoosher’s guild member is Valerie’s Stuff. Valerie creates jewelry, pendants, key rings, and bracelet cuffs all with polymer clay. She also hand paints some pendants with inks which remind me of porcelain beads. Here is just a sample of the lovely items she has available at her studio: If you [...]
Crafting ADD
It seems I have crafting ADD – there are so many things I want to work on or try, that I work for so long on something, lose focus, and move on to something else. I’ve moved from polymer clay, to making hairbows, to picking up some new watercolor paper blocks and even some nice [...]
New listing! Faux Jade Polymer Clay birds & flowers jewelry set
Hi everyone, I have a new listing at my Artfire studio, just put it up a few minutes ago!
Maybe there is an end in sight afterall
I have to give huge kudos to a handful of my coworkers. When we started our project I think we had well over 2300 tasks to tackle. As of when I logged out of my work computer this evening, there were less than 1000 tasks left. I will be glad when this is over, I’ve [...]
Two new additions to my Studio!
Hello everyone. One of the guilds I joined recently, Polymer Clay Smooshers, has challenges each month, and even though I was a little late in the game when I joined, the deadline for it was the 4th of this month. I had maybe about a week I think, to come up with something. Luckily, [...]
Results of testing out Pardo Clay
So I baked the Santa, Snowmen and Angel beads I made over the past week, yesterday. Here they are all together: I forgot to put halos on the angels, and I’m debating whether to add them since their flesh color already seems to have darkened just from the 30 minutes they spent in the oven [...]
Book Review: The Polymer Clay Cookbook
I purchased this from Amazon about a week and a half ago, as one of the things I am interested in trying out with polymer clay is making mini foods. Not dollhouse style mini foods, but precisely what this book is demonstrating – mini food charms. I am anxious to try my hand at this [...]
Claying again
I tend to flit back and forth between projects. So I started painting the picture of my daughter, got as far as getting a little of the undertones of her skin in place, and then set it aside in favor of working with my polymer clays again. Hobby Lobby is opening stores in town, and [...]
