Home Decor - New Home

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog.

 My blog post for today is another home decor clay project.  It would make a lovely gift for anyone that has just got their first home or someone who has just moved house.

The base is MDF painted with cosmic shimmer chalk paint, colour stone, then covered with printed tissue paper.  Once dried I used the green part of a kitchen scourer to apply paint around the outside to give it a bushy feel.

I used the beautiful Katy sue Designs Sugar Button Moulds designed by Kathryn Sturrock from Karacter Krafts.  

Items used :-

Katy Sue Designs – Mini Alphabets,

Sugar Buttons Moulds – Birdhouse and Owl

Premo Polymer Clay

Cosmic shimmer chalk paint

Printed Tissue paper

jute string

Clay Creations

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by my blog.

Say hello to Little Miss

Oh what can I say I have started play with some polymer clay that I purchased a long time ago and this is my second little figure the first one was Easter related which I will blog later.  If I was honest this clay was purchased while I was off recovering from my op (oh my that will be 3 years in August this year).  I have been inspired by a lovely lady who appears on Create and Craft call Kathryn Sturrock, she has a real gift for this crafting material and makes some fantastic creations, her website is Karacter Krafts, also drop by her Facebook page Sugar Buttons

Another lady I have been watching lady in Jan Clement May, this is a take on a figure that is in one of her books Sugar Figures.  This lady works with sugar paste and makes figures for her cakes. 

My plan is to make some different figures to use as cake toppers and sell them through my blog, Etsy or eBay sites, but as I have just taken up this craft I think a little practise first, lol.  Keep an eye out for my Easter project which I will blog in the next day or two.
