Countdown to Christmas...

I can't believe Christmas is almost upon us! Only a few weeks now... Let me know if you have any Christmas present requests for your loved ones... Or yourself!

Shamballa

I've decided to run three different lines. One is my own polyclay pieces, one is a cheaper but beautiful memory wire range and one is a fashion range which, at present, will be Shamballa. These are available in pink, purple, turquoise and green and they are between £10 and £15 depending on the number of beads and the design. Here's my first one- let me know if you're interested!

Some more goodies for you

Good afternoon to you!

Hope you're all having a good day. I'm on my way to see some good friends but thought I'd do a quick blog before we arrive. Don't worry, I'm not driving!

So, as you know, I've been making lots of new things. Some of them have already sold, so grab your favourite one quickly! I've still got lots of Polyclay bits to finish off this week, so I can post them as soon as they're done. They take ages because there's so many stages to the process.

Here's some more things for you to look at. Have a great weekend!

Morning all!

Hello and happy Saturday to you! I'm off to London today to see my sister, but I thought I'd pop a post up first.

I want to remind everybody that I have lots of jewellery for sale that would make a great Christmas pressie!!

I have an Etsy shop and all my available things are also on Facebook.

New pendant sheet and beads

I've made a couple of layered sheets of clay, using inks, foils and stamps. I'm going to use them for some more pendants. Here's one that's all ready to go... What do you think?

Also, I've made some new beads which will be made into jewellery very soon. Hope you like them!

New pendant range

Hello all!

It's been a while but I am BACK! I've just started designing a new range of Polymer Clay pendants. I create them by building up layers and baking the clay several times in the oven.

Hope you like them! They are priced at ten pounds each.

I can do any colour scheme you would like- just ask!

I made this!

I've been experimenting with Polymer Clay and I've spent this evening making this piece, which is a brooch. Not the best picture, but you get the idea!

Bedtime now, I think...

New pendants and beads

Good day to you all!

So I've been working hard to re- launch Once and I've made some new beads. I've decided to specialise within my Polymer Clay making, so you'll be seeing the fruits of my labour over the next few weeks.

Here is one pendant that I've just finished. The process of making beads and pendants from the clay is really long and has lots of stages.

The first is conditioning and preparing the clay. Next, mixing colours and creating the effects you want. Then shaping the piece and curing it in the oven. Then, finishing the piece by sanding and buffing! It usually takes many hours altogether...

Anyway, see you all soon!

I am BACK!

Hello all and I hope this post finds you well. I have had a few months off doing jewellery because we have been relocating. We are finally settled and I have had the chance to photograph all my available jewellery, so head over to my Facebook page to take a look at my albums. Here are a few choice pieces that are available NOW!

Jewellery at Easter

Hello all!

I've been taking a break from jewellery as I've been working hard at a new job.

However, it's the holidays now and I'm hoping to get a few bits done!

In the mean time, here is a beautiful bracelet from Adien Crafts that I just had to have!
