Crafting New Polymer Clay Makes

I finally had a chance to play with some clay this weekend, I received a commission for a Round Black Filigree Pendant to match a pair of Black Filigree Stud Earrings in my Etsy store.

I have to say I was delighted to be able to get the clay out, its been a while with all the shop updates and improvements (I've been working on my SEO), marketing and prep for Christmas its so easy to get consumed and forget to take time out to do the one thing I love most making!

It was a great opportunity to fit in some extras makes along with the pendant, I made a new Black and White Filigree Owl Brooch along with some smaller pieces which will be created into earrings and stud earrings.

I also made this little Daisy Charm with a tiny Swarovski Crystal centre its needs a little tweaking but I am delighted with it and have plans for this in the new year.

Polymer Clay Cuff Bracelet - Its a Diaster

Yes its another fail in my pursuit of cuff bracelet making!

The trials and tribulations of making a polymer clay cuff bracelet
The trials and tribulations of making a polymer clay cuff bracelet

This was just a just a test run trying out my new cuff bracelet blank by Premo and although this was just a first ry with the bracelet blank to become familiar with using it I have to admit I had high hopes as the design was starting to look good.

Preparing the design for my polymer clay cuff bracelet

Alas it wasn't to be and I think I know where I went wrong! I just didn't make the base strong enough before applying the pattern.  I made the initial base too thin, cooked it and it was just too weak.

So next time I will know better.

I've also made this bird brooch too along with some smaller stud earrings, they all need finishing now with backs and varnishing.

Below you can see the original canes I made along with the sheet I created.  These canes were the result of a tutorial I purchased from the CraftArtEdu website by Julie Eakes.

Definitely a challenging tutorial but it was so worth it as I'm delighted with the results.

Craft Stash - New Crafting Supplies


I Had to stock up on some essential Fimo clay and had a little splurge on some other crafty bits 

 

1. Fimo professional clay 

Though I'm a regular fimo fan this will be my first time using the new professional fimo clay.

2. New cutters & a Premo cuff bracelet blank 

I'm always on the hunt for more cutters to add to my growing collection and these shield shaped cutters look perfect for some future pendants.  I also came across this Premo cuff bracelet, now I've been on the search for these for a long time now so had to snap it up.  Its been a long time since I've experimented with cuff bracelets and not successfully either, hopefully this blank will help me improve.  You can find my earlier post on my experiments with Bangles & Cuff Bracelets here The Perils of Bangles.

3. A Curlicue roller 

I found this mini roller on Clayaround I've not seen these before and they come in many patterns to choose from, I've gone for the curlicle roller which has swirls and curls.  Its pretty neat and quite deep so should give a good impression on the clay.

4. Set of Spectrum Noir alcohol ink markers 

Now I came across these completely by accident, my daughter is a huge Manga fan and spends a lot of time creating her own drawings and characters so she is familiar with this style of markers & pens for me this is a whole new territory.  I've decided to take the chance on them as they are Alcohol Ink markers I'm hoping they will work well and adhere with clay much like polymer clay alcohol inks, they are also blendable which is perfect for some future experiment ideas I have.

 

Now what shall I play with first?
