Touch of Spring Night Lamp


http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=250794

I was looking around the gallery at some of the great sculptures created by the Polymer Clay Smoosher Guild members (see more here-http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Guilds&op=full_product_gallery&guild_id=20). I found this gorgeous lamp! I love all the little details. I especially love how clean the basket weave lines are. I tried my hand at "clay weaving"...and well.... that little priject is best forgotten! :o)!!! Rosemary is a very talented artist and I am proud to be in a guild that she is also a member of! Below is her information about the lamp. You really should check out all the neat items in her studio!!!

This is another one of my fun creations. This night light will give a warm glow to any room. The complete design was made with polymer clay over a glass hurricane bulb and wood base. The bright flowers, ladybugs and bumble bees give it that touch of spring all year round. It gives off a warm glow in the darkest of night. The basket was made wih clay . The square base was painted bronze. The finished product was multi-glazed for a brilliant shine and protection. see RfColorfulCreations for more views.

It comes with 2- 5W bulbs.

Enchanted Garden Wedding Cake





This is my very first attempt at sculpting a wedding cake with polymer clay. The cake is 1" tall. Unfortunately I did have some red dye (from the roses) transfer onto the white cake. I plan to do some touch up to the cake. I have dusted the cake with white, red, and green shimmer powder pigments. Hope you enjoy the photos!

This wee little Dragon-Fly has just fluttered to a stop on my porch railing. He said he is looking for a new home, but he is having trouble finding someone who wants him! This little guy is so sweet! But keep an eye on him because he does like to get into mischief now and then!

He was sculpted using polymer clay, and he has lovely wings made by Pat .

Dragon Hair Barrette





This is the very first "BGobbleArt" hair barrette.... ever!!!! I was trying to think of a new way to take these great little friends along with me.... and this is what I came up with!

Pearl the fairy dragon was created using polymer clay. She has glass bead eyes and a tiny freshwater pearl in between her wings. The flower was also created from polymer clay and has freshwater pearls wired into the center. Everything has a been dusted in various shimmer powder colors and is coated in glossy varnish. This barrette is 2" long. This piece is pretty sturdy, but please still be gentle!

You can see more pictures of her on Etsy....

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.

Country Angel Cutie


This is my first attempt at creating an Angel! I like the way she turned out. Her body, wings and face was created using polymer clay. Her wings and body have support wire going through them. She has glass bead eyes and shimmer powder dusted on her body, face and wings. I used bonded fabric to transparent clay to creat her simple dress. Her hair was partly "plugged" into holes on her head and some pieces were simply glued on (this was also my first time using hair and I didn't make all the plug holes big enough). I have pulled at her hair to make sure it isn't going to fall off... and her curls are attached very good!
She is not quite 2" tall. I am attaching a pin to her back (not shown in photos) so she can be worn with an outfit or a ribbon can be strung through to pin to make her a hanging ornament! As the base of her body is round, she can't stand up very well without support (but hey, aren't Angels supposed to fly?).

She is for sale at Etsy-
