New clay pieces

I have been busy working on some new ideas for some clay pieces. I hope to have them finished up in the next couple of days to see if I can sell on my Bigcartel site. So far the fairy houses did not sell, which is disappointing because I thought they were cute. 

Anyway here is a heart piece I'm working on, I still have a few more things to do. You cant really tell from the picture but the corner of the heart is shimmery gold. 

another heart

Two different shaped pieces I was just messing around with a little bit.
I have a few more I'm working on but that will be for another post.
Watch for my give away and be sure to follow my facebook page for details.

The Tenth Day of Christmas crafts

 

Decorating a light switch cover with polymer clay

 

 

 

 

 

 

Items used:

light switch cover

polymer clay

 

 

 

 

 

 

This one is fairly self explanatory with the pictures. If you are interested in making a clay cane I found good instructions here http://www.polymerclaycentral.com/braincane.html

 

 

 

 

After you make your cane you can cut your slices and then start adding them to the switch plate.

 

 

 

 

 

After adding all the slices you can flatten it out with your fingers and run your roller over it to smooth it out. Cut out your holes with a sharp knife. Then follow directions on your clay to bake. Yes you can bake the plate it will not melt.

 

 

 

After baking you can sand it and add some mod podge or your choice of finish and shine it up. Remember to turn off the electricity when you install. You could make matching plates for all the rooms in your house.
Well its late and I'm tired. Got to get up and do more apple, slice baking.
night all



Third Day of Christmas

Third Day of Christmas

Jazz up your keys with glitter and fingernail polish.

Items used:

keys

glitter

mod podge

finger nail polish

 I used three of my keys.

I picked some glitter colors I liked.

I covered the end of the key with pod podge.

I added glitter and waited a couple hours for it to dry. Then I each side with a coat of clear fingernail polish.

You can also color code your keys, I just went with random colors.

No reason, Im just random I guess.
Enjoy!
