Polymer Clay Canes!

I needed a break from making flowers canes and crochet hooks, so I was working on some different canes. I already started working with them, making beads, Christmas ornaments, mirrors, and business card holders, which I will show in the next post. I still have to finish them. It was so much fun to do something else for a change :-)

Colorful Crocheting!

My first crochet hook case for 8 hooks, a custom order.

More Crochet Hooks!

This was a custom order of crochet hooks. To make it colorful, but at the same time make it look as a set, I added the white little flowers in every hook.

Pumpkins!

I was busy sewing these fabric pumpkins for the last 2 days, and since I want to keep everything Polymer Clay I added some clay embellishments.

Compact Mirror!

Amazing Pen!

A while back I got a custom order for some blank black pen holders from a lady that  makes 3D Sculpted Nail Art Pens. I wasn't really sure what that was, until she send me a picture of the first finished pen. I love it! Check out her etsty shop for more great pieces.

New Crochet Hooks!

I was working on some bumble bee canes, and included them in some of my crochet hooks.

Buttons!!!!

Old and New!

These were my first two etsy sales!

These were my last two sales :-)

My Own Little Store!

What could be more perfect than having your own little shop and at the same time doing what you love to do. I have my working space right in the store. Perfect!!!! It's located in the Arts and Crafts Village in Sugar Loaf, NY.

New beads!

Back from the Bahamas!

I had a great time with my daughters on the Bahamas, a birthday present from my hubby. We had a great time relaxing and snorkeling. Awesome!!!
Now it's back to work !

Salt and Pepper?

Nyack Street Fair!

 Sunday was the Street Fair in Nyack ,NY. What a day! Luckily my daughter went with me, and we both put up the tent in the pouring rain. We came prepared with raincoats, but by the time we were done setting up, we were soaking wet. Luckily the rain gave us a little break and people came out of their houses, and it was  a good turnout considering the weather. Next weekend is the Spring Fest in Sugar Loaf, NY. Hopefully the weather will be a little better. It's more fun for everybody!

Store Opening!

It's time to take care of my blog for a change. I was, and still am crazy busy, and here is why. April 1st was the big opening of a store in Sugar Loaf, NY called "Bliss". Over 30 artists, all women, sell their art in this store. It is such a wide variety from painting, to jewelry, sweets, glass, cards, photography, Polymer Clay of course (me) and so much more.

My Work Area!

Just wanted to show my work area. This is actually just part of it. All these canes are scrap canes. In the fridge in the background are all my good canes, lots and lots of them. The second picture is my work area for the clay work, I have another area for my jewelry making, but that is for another time.

Birds on a Bowl!

I watched this utube tuotial from Christie Friesen about making a birds nest with Polymer Clay and thought this would be perfect for one of the bowls that I just took out fresh from the kiln.

Using the Bead Mix!

Remember the bead mix I posted a while back? I had my very own first ceramic beads and pendant included, as well as some of my Polymer Clay beads. Here is how it looked
 BEAD MIX
Now I finally used it to make some jewelry with it. Here are the results.

 I actually tried some copper etching and oxidizing, which I included in the bracelet and the necklace.

 I tried some hammering too, I made the headpins myself :-)
