Polymer Clay Millefiori Owls

Good Morning!

 A quick post to show you my latest Millefiori Owl Brooches

Pink Millefiori Owl Brooch made from polymer clay

I've had the idea for owl brooches for a while and kept playing around with ideas of how to make them, in the end it turned out to be quite a simple design.

Lilac Millefiori Owl Brooch made from polymer clay

I have decorated there bodies with my millefiori flower canes for a floral effect and added a wings in a matching shade.

Copper Feathered Owl Brooch made from polymer clay

This one I used some of my remaining feather cane and his my favorite as the cane was made with a mica shift clay he has polished up lovely.

A Mini Tribute to Springwatch

This is the first time I have ever sat and watched Springwatch, on previous seasons I always flicked past without another thought.  But this time I have really got into it and tonight is the last episode of the Springwatch season and I'm sad to see it go. 

So in tribute to to Springwatch here are two little treasures I made up today.

Blue Tits Nest Necklace

Polymer Clay Bird Beads

Polymer clay birds hand painted by Lottie Of London

Another idea I have been playing with, following on from my floral birds I made up some bird blanks. As you can see here I had the idea to paint them using acrylic paints.

The blue tit is my favourite and the other two are finches which I'm not sure about. My paints are not the best of quality.

Thursdays are now Clay days

As I haven't been able to clay much recently I have now decided to dedicate Thursdays solely to claying.  So Thursday I finally got around to trying out my new Rocky Path tutorial purchased from River Valley Design.

Now I have to say firstly I do not have a stamp like the one suggested for the tutorial so I tried using the one I thought would be best.  Here are my cooked pieces

They are as yet to be sanded, buffed and varnished, Its hard to compare to be fair as I mentioned I did not have a stamp similar to that used in the tutorial, mine was a bit more busy.  It is a wonderful tutorial with a great technique worth learning and I would defiantly recommend it.  I will post the finished pieces once they are ready.

 

Some more bits I got to clay on Thursday are here

 

 

Spring Floral Birds



Here are my spring floral birds I have a lot of canes which need using up and I plan to make many birds in many colours, some will be used for some charm bracelets I hope to make and some will be available for sale with my other collections at The Beady Shop.

Newest makes

Here are some more of my owls following on from my brown owls I thought some brighter owls would look good.  Also a new idea I have been playing with is my tree pendant, initially I wasn't sure how I wanted this one to turn out but after playing around I am happy with the results and it has sparked some new ideas and variations I would like to try.

Complete at last - Owl Themed Charm Bracelet

I have been very busy working of late and have not had a chance to clay at all or bead but I have finally had a chance to complete my owl themed charm bracelet.

I'm delighted with my finished piece, but still need to work on my pendant, time permitting.
