Polymer Clay Pendants

Well, I've actually finished a few pendants that I think are pretty good for a first try. I used a mixture of textures,  stamps and colours. Which of my designs do you like?

I'm waiting on some new textures, ink, stamps and cookie cutters to arrive in the mail. Meanwhile, I've been watching some polymer clay tutorials online (I love the internet) to learn some new techniques.

I've also been making some more jewellery pieces - earrings in a range of different styles.

Playing with Polymer Clay

I like to experiment with new techniques so a while back I bought some polymer clay and associated tools (I already had the pasta machine). I hadn't really done much with it but last night I got all the equipment out again and had a play around with the clay and some texturing stamps and also some ink stamps.

It really is a lot of fun but very tricky and fiddly to get everything nice and neat and minus fingerprints! I've got a long long way to go to get there but hey, I'm gonna have fun doing it!

I'm now busy checking out cutters and texture plates online.

Timing for Treasury

If you've been trying to get a spot on Etsy's Treasury or Treasury West but never know when the number of lists will hit that magic number, try using Craftopolis' Treasury Clock to help you work out when to even bother looking.

I've used it this past week and have had listings in both Treasury and Treasury West. Of course, I've had to sit at the computer and wait for the right moment, which could be at midnight, but patience is rewarded.

Make sure you have your listing IDs all ready to go. Try using Poster Sketch to set up your Treasury well before you want to even try to get a listing.
