Thursday, August 23, 2012. Frustration, Fluster-Busters and Little Successes! Yesterday was just one of those days. I had grand ideas floating around in my head and they looked oh-so-good. Then I tried to create them. And they looked oh-so-ehhh. Here are my go-to Fluster-Busters:. Keep doing what I'm doing (because sooner or later I learn something, either what to do or what not to do). Do something else to give my mind a break. Go for a walk, do some yardwork, etc. Then I wanted to post a pic of the cro...

Using the reference design of the wedding gown the bride will be wearing, I tackled the project head on. I started with the form and the gown. Back detail of the gown and head ornaments. After m...

Wednesday, February 19, 2014. Last November, I made these card cases for a bazaar. This was the last batch of polymer clay creations I made before giving birth. Game and Watch inspired card cases. Then a client of mine commissioned me to do card cases according to her preferences. These are all works in progress and I have yet to deliver 3 more designs:. VW bug-inspired card case. I'm so glad that I started to clay again. I will be updating you with the other designs. Until my next claying adventure!
