Little Crab Friends!

Larrie (the blue crab) has found buried treasure! This little hermit is holding a beautiful long lost freshwater pearl necklace... that he wants to give to a very special someone.... you! Larrie was created using polymer clay and a vacant shell. His body has been wired into the shell so he wont fall out. He is covered in blue shimmer powder. Larrie's little patch of earth has real shells embedded and a necklace which has been wired into the base. The base has also been coated in gold shimmer powder. Larrie is removable from his base.

Lexie(the red crab) is no "hermit"! She loves to party with friends! Her favorite way to spend the day is relaxing on the beach with a DP in one claw and a bag of potato chips in the other! Lexie the hermit crab was created using polymer clay and a vacant shell. Her body has been wired into the shell so he wont fall out. She is covered in blue shimmer powder. Lexie's little patch of earth has real shells and 3 freshwater pearls embedded into the base. The base has also been coated in gold shimmer powder. Lexie is removable from her base.

Lily The Baby Dragon-Fly

This is one of my favorite sculptures! I am trying to get away from the "jewelry" sculptures (trying to break away from the Christi F. style- I love her style, but I won't to find my own).

Here is Lily's description-

Lily is a beautiful baby dragonfly. DragonFlys stay hidden in flowers fields and forests until they are old enough to come out and find their life long friend. This is the person who they will follow faithfully and protect loyally... How about adopting Lily and let her be your little guardian?Lily was sculpted using polymer clay. She has beautiful brown glass eyes. Her body has a coating of shimmery fairy dust and a satin gloss finish. Her wings were made by the very talented artist "Pat Carlson".

Hi Everyone!

Okay, I really don't have any idea what I'm supposed to be doing here. So please be patient with me ;-). I guess I am supposed to write about what I've been doing lately, here goes.....

I have had a store on Etsy for about 3 months and have made 10 sales, which I think is pretty good, but I seem to only make a sale when I refresh listing everyday. So I think I've spent more money listing then what I have actually made :-(. I found Art Fire through the etsy forums, and decided to open a shop there too. I made a sale in 8 days vs. the 2 months to make a sale on Etsy! So I am really excited! Will keep my blog updated as to which store seems to do better. Last night I (with lots of help from ColtPixy and MulberryandMain) started a guild on Art Fire.

We are called "Polymer Clay Smooshers" and so far we have 5 members, and 3 more soon to be members. Our Guild's description is "The Guild's objectives are to educate the public about polymer clay, and to study and promote an interest in the use of polymer clay as an artistic medium" and our mission "The purpose of the Guild shall be to foster the enjoyment of polymer clay and its possibilities. To educate the public and each other about polymer clay". We are all pretty new to the whole "guild" thing but we are already having lots of fun (and that's what matters most, right?)!
