This week I followed two tutorials. “No Such Thing as Scrap Clay Tutorial” by Katers Acres … I love this idea of blending scrap clay into new colours and will definitely do this more in future. And I made a miniature Scrappy (and friends) – “Polymer Clay Scrappy Tutorial” by Martin Pottjewijd.
This week I decided to do something off my polymer clay bucket list – decorated soda can tabs. It’s something I was curious about and wanted to try, and this polymer clay challenge gave me the perfect excuse. 😀 It was SO MUCH fun!! Now I’m on a mission to collect soda can tabs. 😀 😀… Read More »
This week I followed a tutorial and made a Jelly Roll Cane. It’s so simple to do … make a jelly roll cane, press holes in it and slice it lengthwise. I rolled each slice through my pasta machine so that they are all the same thickness. The patterns are amazing!

A miniature teddy bear for week 4 of the 2020 Polymer Clay Challenge. I followed SweetMiniDollhouse’s tutorial on YouTube but decided to make mine into a fridge magnet and not 3D like hers. My teddy is 3cm high.

For week 2 of the 2020 Polymer Clay Challenge I made a heart cane. It is loads of fun to make and very rewarding when you slice it and you get the perfect picture. This will definitely not be the last cane I try.
So this was the first week of the 2020 Polymer Clay Challenge and after thinking of so many options, I finally decided to start the challenge with something I’ve never done before. I was going to make a patchwork pendant, inspired by one of Kater’s Acres tutorials. (she has loads of tutorials) I prepared squares… Read More »
In May, I attended the Love 2 Create Convention again. Two days of being spoiled, having fun, learning new crafts, meeting new people and eating great food. On arrival, we received our goodie bags and name tags. The theme this year was donuts. Each day started with coffee and delicious homemade rusks. Because of… Read More »
