The love of polymer clay canes

I'm getting over a respiratory illness that my dad was kind enough to share with me. Thanks, dad.

Here is what's been going through my mind, though, since I have zero energy to create anything at the moment: CANES. My first love. So cool, a design that goes through a log and gets sliced off to be used a million times (or until the cane is gone).

There are so many amazing cane creators. If you never want to make a cane yourself, you can still make incredible things with canes purchased from people who make canes for a living. Ivy Niles is one of these people, and her company name is ikandi clay. She creates intricate mandalas, flowers, leaves, and a myriad of critters as well as little bits and pieces to adorn whatever you are creating. I highly recommend a look at her Etsy shop and her Facebook page if you want to see an expert caner's work!

I want to be where you are... and I want the earrings, too.

I'm in the midst of cleaning for my mother in law's visit and all sorts of other craziness having to do with family. Perhaps you could say I'm copping out by posting lovelies by other artists. Do you care? (wink)

Patty of Broken Teepee Designs, (one of my fellow artisan beaders street team members) lives on a farm in Montana. Now, I've never been to Montana, but these earrings make me want to go and visit. Look at all the green behind the gorgeous earrings!

Okay. I also want the earrings. Check them out on etsy!

Butterfly Mania

It's a good time to shop at my etsy store if you are a fan of butterflies! I made quite a few this past month, and recently listed some of that "flock"!

Pendants

Another section in my etsy store is my pendants. I plan on listing a few more today. These pendants are ready to wear as is, or, in the case of the ones mounted on headpins, removed and made into your own creations...

One of my favorites is the Midsummer Night Romance pendant. it has a somewhat ethereal, almost watercolor look to it. There is a beautiful dichroic glass dewdrop as the center of one of the blossoms, made by my friend Kelly Keniston (kellyk on etsy). I love to see the way the various clear dichroic droplets interact with the color of the clay, and I'll fuss around to find just the right one from my rather large collection to "fit" the piece. Try it! You'll like it!
