The crafting bug

has definitely hit me!

I am trying out polymer clay and so far so good. Well, so far, 50% good I guess would be more accurate. My first project was a turtle. You can search this post high and low for a turtle picture and you will find it lacking. This is because no picture exists as my turtle has a wicked case of the fugs. None-the-less, it is sitting right here being unloved, but holding down the fort in "My First Project"-ville.

My second project was to attempt to make a few jewelry pieces following Christi Friesen's tips and tricks. These turned out much better and to my liking! Voila:


I am aware that I have a long way to go. But - boy howdy - this is a fun material to work with. And my love of color is being totally met. I spent about 4 hours mixing the most gorgeous yellows and oxblood palette for a jellyfish the other day ... actually that is another post altogether once the jellyfish is finished.
