I'm not sure what I was going for here. This is the result of experimenting with alcohol inks on unbaked clay, textured, baked, and then tampered with some more. I also missed making cats ( Read more... )

a few weeks ago I was wandering the clearance aisle at Michael's and found these blank clothespins I can only describe as "multicultural." Honestly I'm not sure why I bought them - the craft they're intended for is not one of my favorites - I can only guess that I was inspired by the memory of clothespin dolls my mother made when I was little. I ( Read more... )

I'm not sure what I was thinking with this one. A few minor details will need to be taken care of before listing, but I do like the design. The gem is glass, like the kind you'd put in a decorative vase ( Read more... )

If you were able to make my show at The Comet, you would have seen my most recent marketing idea in action: Magnets. I can't really afford to give them out for free like I can the occasional CD because in order for these to sell I have to price them at a loss. I'm working on lowering the production costs a bit with face and hair molds. If they ( Read more... )

I was supposed to have these ready for the June 12 show. That was before I got sick and had to cancel. They are magnets, and on the back will be cardstock circles with the band and cd info printed on them ( Read more... )

There's nothing like organizing all your crap to let you know what you keep forgetting you have but buy over and over again anyway.

At this rate I will have a lot of little organizer containers left over. Maybe I'll be able to sell those - they're part of a craft organizing "system" that I never used properly to begin with.

These are the "self portraits" I've been avoiding for a couple of weeks. I plan to make a mold of my favorite face once all the painstaking facial details are done (like eyebrows). With a mold, the hard part becomes super-easy, and all I really have to worry about is hair ( Read more... )

To whoever bought me another year of LiveJournal: Thank you. This cute dragon icon was one I would have had to do without for a while if you hadn't come along ( Read more... )

I haven't touched any polymer in over a week. My Etsy sales have slowed enough that I have a handful of expired listings. That last thing doesn't bother me as much because they're seasonal items, but still -- it would have been nice to sell them. I'm thinking it would probably be prudent to re-list the Santas I made individually instead of as a ( Read more... )

Someone asked me to make a bunny magnet like another in my Etsy shop, but once it went up she decided it wasn't as cute. Great. I guess that's what I get for trying to be timely and having a piece done when I said it would be.

Edmund had his challenges, so maybe he wasn't as cute as the others, but I did what I was asked to do. She didn't say " ( Read more... )
