I do really rather like blue and white it seems. I couldn’t resist another blue and white kaleidoscope cane pendant. This one is a little smaller than the last one I showed you. There are matching earrings too but I haven’t assembled them yet, I much prefer the polymer bit of jewellery making! They’ll be available for sale at my next exhibition which isn’t until November at the Totterdown Arts Trail so I’ve got...

Here is my one of latest pieces of polymer clay  jewellery – a Kaleidoscope tile pendant in blue and white. I love it and have been wearing it a lot (I wear a lot of blue – you might have noticed from my jewellery I like blue). I made a couple of similar ones, I don’t like to make anything exactly the same and they have all been snapped up so I must make another cane in the same style soon.   I’ve been busy...

I was lucky enough to attend 2 workshops in London with Jana Lehmann last weekend. They were fabulous workshops – very well prepared. Jana is a great teacher and her work is beautifully finished! I learnt a lot of new skills and made some things I’m really pleased with.         Can’t wait to try some more but today I am packing ready to go and work at the Craft, Stitch and Hobby International trade show at...

I have mentioned the course in some of my other blog posts this year and hopefully, especially  if you have been following my blog for a while, you will noticed the improvement in my photographs!  It was a very intense and very rewarding experience which I have reviewed in detail in an article published recently in the Fall issue of The...

I randomly picked a publication from my bookshelf to try out something new (my new year challenge – to use the wonderful resources sat under my nose!) and picked the magazine From Polymer to Art – Orange. A quick flick through and I chose to try out a project by Fabi. Her pendant in the magazine was orange and green – not really my colours so I changed the colours to some more ‘me’ ones from some left over clay I...

The weather here in the UK is horrible today so I have tried to cheer things up with these bright flowers   These are slightly different from my normal flat flower pendants as they are slightly curved and each petal slightly cupped. They also have a dimension centre which looks like little tubes but is actually just little sticks of clay (adhered with the wonderful Kato polypaste) that I poke a pin into to give the illusion of being hollow. I...
