I've made a few sales on etsy, good sign for things to come, I've put up more items and am really going to invest my time and thought to make more sales.
I have a sale on next week so I'm busy making my craft items: keychain, hamsas, covered plates.
It has been so cold here the past two weeks that I haven't been able to go into my studio to work on my lampwork beads. my fingers are so cold they just won't move the way I want them to, I may end up with toasted fingernails....
My silverwork is also at a standstill as it is way too cold to saw and hammer. so that leaves me with my beloved polymer clay which I work on at home. Valentine has been the theme and here are a few items
Yesterday I received Grant Diffendaffers new book "polymer clay beads". the photos are breathtaking although some of the projects are very advanced (lathe beads). I love the ideas he has for surface texturing and appreciate the fact that he cuts no corners to achieve the look he is after. I ordered the book from his site and he even signed it for me (yay). well worth checking out.
