Shame on ME!

I feel like a bad friend or something... I have been so neglectful. I was just shocked that my last post was not even this Year. SO Happy New Year-- wait Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Valentine's Day, Happy Presidents' Day, Happy St. Patricks Day, Happy Easter... sure I forgot one but Happy Happy and hope it has been a great first half a year. During this time a lot has happened here- not much worth updating except we moved and my kids are doing Great!!! Almost summer and already getting HOT here in South Georgia. Also of course I have a new hobby that I had just started last year and now totally lovin' it... I have discovered the wonderful bliss that is polymer clay. It is my kinda craft- you can work with it, leave it out and come back later. I work in batches and have already a Pile to list. I have sold lots of pieces locally and several online already. Oh that is right- I know one other new update- I am not exclusively on Artfire! I love Artfire! I am not going to get into it is better than or any of that nonsense- it just works better for me. I find it a better fit. I hope that you will take a peek at my Artfire Studio which is much like my life and tons of projects- a WIP (work in progress). Like I mentioned I have a ton to list and constantly am working on something- wait that should be several things. If you are a seller and looking for a friendly place to sell that is always one set price-be sure to check out Artfire- use this link to get your 3rd month FREE!
Alright I promise not to be gone 6 months before my next post. I will be back this week!! Here are a few pictures of my new obsession- I mean Hobby =)


Happy Crafting Y'all!

My New Obsession ~ Polymer Clay

I totally admit that I am a craft junkie! I love all crafts and forms of art. I also admit that when I get into something - I go all in. Enter polymer clay.... Oh yeah, I love it. There are so many things I love about it. I love the instant gratification. Some crafts I do such as crocheting or cross stitching- you sometimes work hours before a project even begins to resemble anything, let alone what it is eventually going to be. I also love the fact that I can walk away from a polymer clay project and come back to it without worrying about the clay drying out, just pick up where I left off (I do cover it with a paper or something to keep dust particles off- it would surprise you the stuff that can land on your clay if left out too long). I love that polymer clay can be abstract. It is much like painting- you can make a certain object or just something that is pretty. I love that I can make my own beads or pendants to then use in other jewelry projects- just taking the "handmade" one step further. Polymer clay projects and techniques are endless- I get lost in links and tutorials on different sites about polymer clay and before you know it hours have passed.


So there you have it- I admit it- I am addicted to polymer clay. I have several finished necklaces and pendants that I will be listing in my etsy shop. I can't wait to show everyone and get some feedback.


Also I am sorry for not being around- I am back into a routine now that the kids are back in school and we are moved... this last year has been a rough one but I am emerging stronger and even more determine to reach my goals. I am back for good and look forward to connecting with old friends again, along with meeting new ones!


Here is a sneak peak - I am listing this polymer pendant on a handmade necklace today... I layered many colored- textured with a stamp, and then sliced aways raised pieces of the design to reveal the colors underneath-

SMILE~
