A custom order that I just finished:

Custom Polymer Clay Covered Light Switch Plate

If you would like one... I sell them in my Etsy shop.

T-Shirt Bags

This is possibly the easiest, most satisfying craft project ever!

I made shirt bags out of my kids' favorite t-shirts (that they had outgrown).

All that you have to do is turn the shirt inside out and sew straight across the bottom. Then turn right side out and cut around the neck and arms. TADA!!!

For more detailed instructions, here is a good video from Martha Stewart.

A Custom Order

This is going to go on a castle shaped cake. Doesn't that sound so cute:) I have some of the most creative customers!!!

Copper Clay....

I want some so bad!

I have worked with Silver PMC before and liked it...but it is pretty expensive to play with.

Recently, they have come out with Copprclay and Bronzclay too!

I would love to experiment with them!

The only thing...is that I think that you have to fire them differently than the silver clay.

Hopefully, I can still use my little Ultralite Kiln with it.

If you are interested in metal clay, you have to check out Whole Lotta Whimsy. It is a great online resource.

Also, I did a little search on flickr for copprclay...and boy, there are some talented artists out there!

Okay, off to do some more research on what supplies I will need...

Custom Order

I just love how these turned out:)

Desert Flower Polymer Clay Necklace

It's in my Etsy shop:

Desert Flower Polymer Clay Necklace

I really love how this necklace turned out! It was made using my handmade polymer clay beads, hand dyed and sewn silk ribbon from KAS LAMPWORK BEADS and SILK RIBBONS (LOVE them!) and silk thread. I tied the silk thread in between the beads to represent the prickly cactus.
