This is it! What you’ve all been waiting for! The Etsy Alberta Team’s Fall Sale begins today October 14 and runs thru October 21. I’m offering 20% off in my Etsy shops if you use the coupon code HALLOWEEN during checkout. A lot of the team is participating so make sure and check out the list for some fabulous deals!
And, as usual, the cane shop on Etsy is all in as well. Check Claychicks out for you polymer clay canes needs!
Hi out there! If you’re brand new here, welcome. If you’ve been here before you may suspect something is up. I’m breaking things. This is partly therapy, partly updates and partly mad scientist stuff. Most of the pages that were here are still here somewhere and if you’re desperate and can’t find what you’re searching for, give me an email.
To anyone who’s linked to a page I’ve moved, I’m sorry! I’m reorganizing the site to make it line up better with what I want it to do and some pages, particularly the tutorials and info ones, will have moved. They should still all be around somewhere though.
And today I actually made things with the beads. At least mostly. So there’s a real Yay!
The earrings were an experiment with handmade earwires. These ones are brass and lightly hammered (which I realize you totally can’t see in the picture). It makes me realize that I need to figure out another method for the earrings with this kind of bead, le sigh. But they are lightweight and cute anyways.
The swirl heart on this chain is a miniature version of my larger pendants on cord. It has a dangly red pearl with it and hangs all nicely gothy on gunmetal chain.
My in-progress polymer clay class is working on transfers and tonight we’ll be making tiles for use in bracelets and other pieces. I had to try out the materials though!
So there’s my bead using table this Wednesday. Care to see other people’s bead tables this Bead Table Wednesday? Check out the Flickr group.
So, the big thing this week is that I’ve added another role to my online world – I’ll be the Polymer Clay Editor at CraftGossip.com! CraftGossip is a blog that covers whats up in the online world for a whole bunch of crafty areas including polymer clay.
The first post is a bit of a Cyber Monday shopping look around. A lot of talented Etsians and ArtFire members are running great sales right now including the Free Shipping one in both of mine!
One of the most exciting things to happen to me this fall was being contacted by Laureen Marchand to provide her gallery with gift items to sell. Grasslands Gallery is situated in Val Marie, Saskatchewan, near the Grasslands National Park area. The gallery exhibits lovely paintings and now also has a range of local, handmade artisan crafts including some of my jewelry.
From now until December 12th, you can visit the gallery on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4pm and browser local art. There is complimentary gourmet coffee and treats. Contact Laureen for further information or to make appointments for other times.
