I maded a thing!

Well, a few things actually. The God of Crafts must finally be smiling on me. Or maybe it's just wind. Anyway, I got the polymer clay out last night (despite having a sinus headache brewing - I'm so brave) and I made the following items.





Both of the above are planned to be added to felt decoration...things. I may have at the bat with some sandpaper to see if I can get rid of that annoying nail mark which I only noticed once it came out of the oven. *sigh* Don't think I'll be glazing them though. I would also have made a ghost, but for some reason, the minute I touch white clay, it becomes covered in 'bits'. I've tried washing my hands, cleaning the work surface, everything, but it doesn't help. *weeps*




These lollies are for a collaboration project for the Europe Artfire Guild. I will sand the ends of the stick to make sure that they're safe. I plan to make some more of these as buttons for felty Christmas decs.



I saw a lovely project that used polymer clay roses in Make Jewellery magazine and decided to try making one. I think it turned out OK for a first attempt. The sparkles are much nicer in real life. The rose has a hole through the base, so I may make it into a necklace for myself. Hmm...yes.



Giant button! In downtown Tokyo! Run, run for your lives! Or something. It's not actually that big - just under 3cm across. It has the same sparkles as the rose, but they were rubbed into the clay more. Heh, claymore. I may make this into either a brooch, or a small cushion/dec for Christmas. Maybe.
