I am taking part in a Thing a Day (TAD) for February challenge on the PCC forum and have really been enjoying it. So far I have managed to make something everyday and I am really enjoying it. I have posted them all in my Flikr set Thing a Day February 2012 but thought I would share a few of them here too so you can see what I have been up to. That’s not all of them – go to flickr if you want to see them all. Kids are on school...

For my thing a day challenge I was experimenting with canes. I came up with this and I rather like it! I think it’s quite striking. Normally if I am experimenting I photograph the stages so I can recreate it if it works out. I didn’t this time but I think I can remember so I am off to try and recreate it!Pin ItI put this picture together so you could see the back and the front which are subtly different.

Along with the heart earrings I also made some brooches. These took a bit longer to finish as I discovered I didn’t have any badge backs the right size, didn’t think about that when I started making them! I forgot to take a picture of the back which is a shame as they are very neatly finished. I will try and show you another brooch back when I have made some more. They were lovingly hand polished to a glass like shine with wet and...

On Sunday night I decided I had worked hard for the last few days and instead of getting on with the things on my ever increasing to-do list I would do something just for me! I went to my Pinterest Polymer Clay tutorials board and picked something that wouldn’t take too long. I picked thisfrom http://polymerandmetalclay.com.au/flowerpetaltute.html . This is a free tutorial and I really appreciate people sharing them for free.  I know how...
