matchbox tutorial

I made this little box out of a matchbox and some clay. Isn't it pretty? I think it looks like copper. What do you think?

 Supplies used: brown polymer clay

                        jacquard pearl-ex powder (blue,red,and yellow)

                        rubber stamp

                        matchbox

 condition clay and roll out 

use your cutter to cut the clay to match the size of the box

 stamp clay with your rubber stamp

 wrap clay around box

 don't forget your end pieces

 cut two strips for the sides

 cover randomly with your pearl-ex powder

and bake

March Madness

I can't believe spring is just around the corner. I need to get out of this winter funk. Even though we didn't have a winter, it will still be nice to open the windows and sit on the porch. 

I have been working on lots of clay things. I have been making jewelery, boxes, kitchen magnets, light switch covers, just to name a few. 

This month I am going to start something new. I will be making a post every day on the weekdays about a different subject.  

I want to do some different things so please bear with me while I find my niche, or my blogging style or whatever you call it.

I have some fun stuff planned. I really would like to get some traffic and some comments going. So be ready for some big changes.  

Tonight I worked on my first "rose cane" you can find the tutorial I used here. rose tutorial 

This is before reducing it.

I'll show you the results tomorrow.

Also I finished my box I was working on. This is also a first. It was an expierement and I got the idea off pintersest. Sandy's creations in clay

Would you believe this is just a little matchbox covered in clay?

Speaking of pintersest... I love it! I am going to using it for most of my inspiration and ideas. How could I not. In case you don't know pintersest is like a bulletin board with all the ideas, pictures, hints, tips, websites, news, movie stars, sports, etc., that you can think of saved on your boards. You can "pin" anything you want and save it where you can find it again. You can show your style, your collections your likes your dislikes... The world is your pintersest! So have fun. If you need an invite send me an email. 

Hope everyone had a good day.
