BUNNY…

 

 

Inspired by techniques I learned from Lisa Renner through the Polymer Clay Adventure, I made this little bunny.  I used Original Sculpey® polymer clay.  Bunny is hopping around having a grand ole time.

ART DECO DOG…

 

 

Using my favorite clay, Sculpey® Souffle, I created a repo of a vintage 1920’s / 1930’s art deco brooch pin.  I saw one for sale on Ebay for $300 and decided to make one from polymer clay.

SPARKY…

 

 

This little robot was made from an old spark plug.  I used Sculpey® Souffle polymer clay and some ball chain.  His little head is a glass bottle and some small gears and a large gear propels him on his merry way.  I colored him with mica powders…gee, I wonder where this spark plug traveled during the course of its life…maybe it was in your car!

FOR RYAN…

 

 

A “rainbow baby” is a baby born following a miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death or infant loss.  This pendant is for my friend Ryan in celebration of her daughter Avery.  I used Sculpey® Souffle polymer clay, Fimo® polymer clay and mica powders.

CREE, THE BULB-BUG…

 

 

I enjoy recycling old and worn parts into a new creation. The body of this bug is a small old yellow light bulb. I also used a part from a newer type bulb around the light bulb.  A small circular saw blade and copper wire was also used.  I formed the wings from Sculpey® Clear Liquid Bakeable Clay.  The “landing wheels” are two small gears on a copper axle.  That’s the buzz for today.

JUST MIXED MEDIA VOLUME 3…

 

 

Thank you Scott Publications for including my Makin’s Clay® camper on the cover of volume 3 of Just Mixed Media! This was a fun project and as usual Makin’s Clay® was a great product to use in the making of this camper!

FOR JANET…

 

 

I made this Bottle of Hope for a family member.  It was made from Makin’s Clay®. Bottles of Hope are small glass bottles covered with polymer clay and given to cancer patients.  They symbolize a wish and a hope for health. This bottle will be going to Naples Florida.

4 SEASONS BOTTLE…

 

 

I made this little 4 seasons bottle for my February Makin’s Clay® Design Team project.  Each side has a little “symbol” depicting  a season… a snowflake for Winter, a flower for Spring, the sun for Summer and a leaf for Fall. Head on over to Makinsclayblog.blogspot.com for complete instructions so you can make one too!

CARPENTER’S ANGEL…

 

 

I altered an old stubby screwdriver into a steampunk angel. The face and wings were made from Makin’s Clay®, and two large gears were also used.  The wings were coated with Krylon® Leafing Pens in silver and gold. No screwing around here…

JONAH THE WHALE…

 

 

This is Jonah the whale.  He was made from  Sculpey’s Souffle™ polymer clay.  His “outfit” is made from eyelets, a propeller, a cog, winding key and some chains. The coloring is from mica powders.
