Week of fun with Debi

NanaDeb from swap-bot.com came down to spend the week playing in clay. We tried some new ideas together and I showed her how to make a few things I like to make. She also brought a book on how to make the cutest of characters, the witch is one of them and I'll be posting a girl I made on flickr later on today. I got behind on my house chores but it was well worth it. After losing my job and being involved in a hit and run this visit really picked my spirits back up to my norm. =) We spent much time claying, talking and lets not forget the shopping. We made faux turquoise, coral and lapis. Mind you we didn't get it right the first time but we caught on quick.

Time to mow the yard but I will blog more about our adventure later. =)

New use for temp. tattoos

The punk heart and the butterfly will soon be added to my etsy store. I was wanting to try image transfer but it really wasn't working for. Mostly because I don't have a toner printer. =)

I do however have a large collection of temporary tattos so I thought I would give it a go. I avtually like how they turned out. I also have more things I made with them on my flickr.

Yet another heart

I am a memeber of swap-bot.com where good folk trade crafts and such. I started just for the ATCs but polymer clay is my true craft over the past couple years. I have started getting more serious about it this year tho. So I stop trading ATCs and mostly do polymer clay swaps. I am collecting hearts ranging from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches tall and 3D'ish. So I have started a series of swaps. The first one was "wonderfully weird" hearts where you make 1 partner 1 heart. I am hoping my partner likes his. I was really impressed at how the eyes on this heart turned out. It was just an experiment and I was just playing around with some ideas. 

Today I attended a polymer clay guild meeting. My very first one. For the longest I thought I was the only one that clayed in my area. Of course I had to drive over an hour to get the but the girls made it work the drive. They had a heart swap where we made 4 funky wierd hearts. I made 4 but realized it wasn't what they meant so I made 4 more and I think they were way better than the first 4.
