<br />
With the release of the <a href="http://www.starwars.com/the-force-awakens/" target="_blank">new Star Wars movie</a> and its popularity, it is hard to deny, almost everyone LOVES Star Wars! <br />
<br />
I made these valentines two years ago for my son and thought I would share:)<br />

So.... I had success with firing the Art Clay Copper! I did a lot of online research before firing and decided to follow the directions I found <a href="http://willowandme.blogspot.com/2010/02/copper-clays-firing-tests.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. I fired it in the coconut shell-based carbon (even though it wasn't necessary), mainly to avoid the thick, black layer of fire scale that was supposed to happen if you fired without it. I pretty much followed the directions for firing the COPPRclay, but the results with the Art Clay Copper were much better! I fired at 1778°F for 3 hours. I did not put a lid on my firing pan. This firing schedule is also recommended on the <a href="http://www.artclayworld.com/Tips-TechSheets/ArtClayCopperBooklet.pdf" target="_blank">Art Clay Copper online info sheet</a> (which I discovered later).<br />
<br />
Here are my results:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The top ornament was made with the COPPRclay (it was under-fired), and bottom was made with Art Clay Copper. You can see the pitting that occurred when I tried to polish the COPPRclay with a wire brush (both ornaments were polished using only a wire brush). The COPPRclay did shrink more than the Art Clay Copper too:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And now for fun with adding a patina (part of the reason I wanted to work with copper clay so badly)!!! This patina was created using only vinegar and salt. I put some salt on the ornament and placed a vinegar soaked cotton pad on it. The patina will wash off, so you might want to add a sealer to protect your desired finish.</div>

P.S. While doing some of my research, I found there are lots of different copper clays out there....you can even <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Copper-Clay-Trilobites/#step0" target="_blank">make your own</a>! Also, check out the work of this <a href="http://drakonaria.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">amazing metal clay artist</a>!</div>

It's Been a Looong Time!Oops...it's been quite a long time since I blogged! Sorry!<br />
<br />
Hope you all have been well! I did add a few new items to <a href="http://emelinepurcell.etsy.com/" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a>. <br />
<br />
Also, I'm working on making a house ornament out of copper clay. I didn't have great success firing the <a href="http://livingwiththreemoonbabies.blogspot.com/2015/02/copper-clay-and-free-shipping.html">COPPRclay</a> I posted about earlier. I don't think I fired it at a high enough temperature. I just bought a new brand to try out that doesn't need to be fired in the coconut shell–based carbon. I'll let you know how that goes. Fingers crossed!<br />
<br />
Oh...and I've had the idea for a beading loom made from a yogurt container for a while, and I hope to be posting a tutorial soon. I'm also trying to design pieces combining my seed bead work and metal clay creations....so stay tuned!<br />
<br />
Here are my newest listings:

When I saw it, I was thinking... wait... I used to wear a choker like that! I can't believe they are back in style! I was also thinking... I CAN MAKE THAT! So, I looked for tutorials online and found a bunch. Even though the one she bought felt like it was made with some type of fishing line, the tutorials I found all used <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XZVPS8/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000XZVPS8&linkCode=as2&tag=livinwiththre-20&linkId=AQR2YKAG3NPQBXTR" target="_blank">Stretch Magic</a>. I couldn't find it in craft stores, they were all out of black everywhere I looked, so I ended up buying some from <a href="https://www.joann.com/" target="_blank">Jo-Ann Fabric</a> online. I used black and gold in 1mm, but they have all different thicknesses and colors.<br />
<br />

<br />
I ended up liking <a href="http://hellowhimsy.blogspot.com/2014/07/tutorial-90s-chokers-part-2.html" target="_blank"><b>this tutorial</b></a> the best. The only thing I did differently was, instead of cutting two strands of string, I cut one (6 times the length around my neck), folded it in half, and knotted a loop at the end. This made it easier to tie it together when finished. There are lots of ways to finish these off though...<br />
<br />
Here's my youngest wearing a gold tattoo choker and a vampire teeth pendant (also made by me and soon to be added to <a href="http://emelinepurcell.etsy.com/" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a>!!!).<br />

It was funny, I took my kids to see the movie <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1109624/" target="_blank">Paddington</a>, and they got so excited when they noticed that one of the characters was the newest Doctor! They are <i>super</i> fans or, should I say, <i>Whovians</i>!<br />
<br />
Oh, and since it's almost Valentine's Day, I found a couple free printable valentines for you too!<br />

<br />
I have some exciting news... I opened a new Etsy shop, <a href="http://emelinepurcell.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Emeline Purcell</a>!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://emelinepurcell.etsy.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1M8p7UT1vs0/VMZ4U-pxkbI/AAAAAAAADYc/NUeRwPXew3s/s1600/emelinePurcellLogo.png" height="52" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
It is probably apparent by some of my previous posts that I enjoy making jewelry...and creating with clay. Finally, I have found a way to combine these two loves! In <a href="http://emelinepurcell.etsy.com/" target="_blank">this new shop</a>, I plan to offer unique, handmade jewelry and accessories. I use a combination of techniques and PMC (precious metal clay) to create unique earrings, pendants, and all types of jewelry and accessories. I have already added some pieces to the shop, but have lots more to add....so stay tuned!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I don't plan to add anything to my other etsy shop, <a href="http://3moonbabies.etsy.com/" target="_blank">ThreeMoonBabies</a>, anytime soon (sorry!).<br />
<br />
You can read more about my new shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/EmelinePurcell/about?ref=shopinfo_about_leftnav" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <b>1. the hat:</b> My son had the great idea of attaching the horns to a hat, instead of a headband or something like that. We couldn't find a "trucker" style hat while shopping, so we made one by painting a black hat. I sketched and painted the word satyr on the white painted portion of the hat to get a graffiti look. I made the horns using <span style=" font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.3 !important;">Sculpey Ultra Light Polymer Clay. It was my first time working with it, and it <i>really</i> is super light! It felt like taffy! I made the bottoms flare out to anchor them in the hat. After I baked the clay, I painted them and sealed them with mod p</span><span style=" line-height: 20px;">odge</span><span style=" font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.3 !important;">. To attach the horns to the hat, I made an "X" like slit </span><span style=" line-height: 20px;">where</span><span style=" font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.3 !important;"> I wanted them in the top of the hat, pushed them through, and hot-glued them in place. You can use a stronger glue too. I also hot-glued felt over the exposed clay on the inside of the hat to make it more sturdy and comfortable. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>2. the shirt: </b>This was easy, and I'm sure there are multiple ways to do it (like using a <a href="http://www.danamadeit.com/2008/07/tutorial-freezer-paper-stencil-makenna-loves-goldfish.html" target="_blank">freezer paper stencil</a>). We just found an image online and printed it on inkjet iron-on transfer paper, then ironed it on the shirt. Camp Half-Blood is from the Rick Riordan books. It's "<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">a state-of-the-art training facility for young demigods"<span style="font-size: x-small;">-(<a href="http://www.rickriordan.com/my-books/percy-jackson/welcome-to-camp-half-blood.aspx" target="_blank">source</a>)</span>.<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>3. the pants:</b> We used gray sweatpants. I cut two large circles from the fur fabric (purchased at <a href="http://www.joann.com/" target="_blank">Jo-Ann Fabric</a>), using a plate to trace out the shape. I also cut long rectangles to wrap around the bottom of the legs, using the pants as a guide. I cut out a small circle, cut it in half, and folded it to use as the small tail. I attached the fur to the pants with hot-glue, but also stitched around the edges to hold in place.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>4. the shoes (hooves):</b> For the hooves, I also used the <span class="a-size-large" id="productTitle" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: normal;"><span style=""><span style="line-height: 1.3 !important;">Sculpey Ultra Light Polymer Clay. I shaped them to fit around the slippers we purchased. The fake ugg type slippers would work well too. We lucked out and found the perfect slippers in gray to use, so we didn't have to cover the entire slipper with fur, just the front. I baked the polymer clay hooves on glass bowls, so they would keep their </span></span></span></span><span style=" font-family: inherit; font-size: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">shape. After they cooled, I painted them, sealed them with mod podge, and glued them (with a strong glue, like E6000) to the front/toe portion of the slippers. You will also want to rough up the underneath of the hooves, so they adhere better to the slippers. I used a plate to trace and cut a circular piece of fur fabric for the tops of the slippers and cut a slit down the middle, then hot-glued in place. They turned out so cool and are really comfortable!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here is a new beading pattern! They are pretty simple earrings, but the endless possible color combinations can make them stand out and WOW!</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In my example, I used primary colors and turquoise. I was going for a tribal look.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8MYVsp6fhsE/VEgFXlYLOpI/AAAAAAAADVk/mSt_3pM95aY/s1600/NathanEarring.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="living with ThreeMoonBabies | Nathan Earrings Beading Pattern (finished earrings)" border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8MYVsp6fhsE/VEgFXlYLOpI/AAAAAAAADVk/mSt_3pM95aY/s1600/NathanEarring.png" title="living with ThreeMoonBabies | Nathan Earrings Beading Pattern (finished earrings)" width="300" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This pattern was completed using a combination of ladder stitch, two drop brick stitch, and fringe. A foundation row is created using a ladder stitch with two beads in each row (9 rows). The rest of the beadwork is completed using a two bead brick stitch. It's a good pattern for a beginner because there are no complicated increases or decreases. I used round, size 11/o seed beads for the earrings pictured above, but feel free to experiment with the pattern using various sizes, shapes, and colors of beads. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My oldest recently celebrated her 12th birthday! She is not a huge fan of cake, but LOVES ice cream. I had seen an idea for a cake made out of ice cream sandwiches on Pinterest and thought this was the perfect time to try it out....it was SO GOOD! I'm thinking of making another very soon...no special occasion needed!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gUhq6slCqvs/UwzCBpjW-SI/AAAAAAAADQ8/cA6Bu6q2dUA/s1600/IMG_1768.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Easiest Ice Cream Cake Ever....| Living with ThreeMoonBabies" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gUhq6slCqvs/UwzCBpjW-SI/AAAAAAAADQ8/cA6Bu6q2dUA/s1600/IMG_1768.jpg" height="400" title="The Easiest Ice Cream Cake Ever....| Living with ThreeMoonBabies" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All you have to do is stack up ice cream sandwiches. We bought a box full of 12, so our cake was 4 layers tall (with 3 sandwiches in each layer). I criss-crossed each layer. I also added a thin layer of hot fudge ice cream topping between each layer. To frost, you just use thawed out cool whip! I finished it off with toppings of M&Ms and hardening chocolate shell ice cream topping. Oh, and my daughter picked out mint chip ice cream sandwiches. With all the different flavors of ice cream sandwiches and ice cream toppings, the possibilities are endless!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sorry I didn't take step-by-step photos but if you do a quick search on Google or Pinterest for an ice cream sandwich cake, you should find plenty!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hope you enjoy your ice cream sandwich cake as much as we enjoyed ours!</span>Marjoriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00221095803186645558noreply@blogger.com0
