Here I am finding my way. Wanting to share my thoughts and passions with other kindred spirits. I love to create and I work with polymer clay at the moment. I have painted for many years on wood and paper and glass and metal and whatever. Did you know that you can paint polymer clay? I haven't gone there too much yet. It kind of seems to miss the point for me. Polymer comes in such beautiful colors why would you want to paint it? But then I see some beautiful creations where an artist has added some paint to make a polymer treasure that is more beautiful because of it. I have used it to accent a focal bead that has been stamped into the clay. It makes these beads look a bit more rustic don't you think?
This is my Partridge in a Pear Tree bracelet. A few birds and a leaf and a pear. The leaf came from a cookie mold that was a tail on a squirrel. Now that is creative right! It looks like a pine branch to me!
What I love about the cookie mold is that I found it at the Thrift Store... actually the one in Berryville, VA. We were helping my daughter set up her first classroom as a new teacher in a new town. I love Thrift Stores so I had to check it out. I found this treasure that I have repurposed. Don't worry I won't use it for cookies. There are some great birds and other animals on it though. Something to think about and a keepsake of a special weekend.
