I just found out I won these polymer clay beads crafted by the hands of Heather Pyle. I found the contest one day when I was visiting my usual suspects for fresh blogs and this was one of the new ones to which I was led. I like that the colors are a mix of sunrise AND sunset, all in one bead. I'm excited to get them!
Yum yum, I just added these sweet strawberry earrings in polymer clay to my shop. Aren't they wonderful?
It is so hard to believe these are not painted. The cane technique was employed by the polymer artist and that design runs all the way through a "cane" (roll) of clay and each time she slices it for me, she produces the design on BOTH sides of the bead. A-MAZ-ING. You can see more details HERE.
Could life be any sweeter than this handmade glass ice cream sundae? Lezlie Belanger created this lush goody and I added some silver to create a pendant. I listed it, watched a movie, returned to the shop and it had sold! So I guess you could say that ice cream sundaes sell like hotcakes.
The detail is phenomenal and it is difficult for my mind to wrap around the truth that this is, in fact, NOT a real ice cream treat! I love the snazzy spacer at the bottom. It reminds me of the doily that is usually placed on the plate before a sundae is presented in an ice cream shoppe.
I better order more of these so that no one feels left out of wearing one for summer fun. 
On the flip side, I finally made a necklace out of ZudaGay's awesome polymer clay piece seen here. The detail is so deep and rich. The texture reminds me of carved wood. I hand wound .999 fine silver around the suede leather cord and found a cool Bali clasp that also has that wound silver feature.
If still available, you can see it on my Etsy site along with other planned pendants & necklaces.

What do you think of my clay rosettes? I had SO much fun making them. These were my FIRST attempt! I love the color too. Clay rosettes aren't very available on Etsy since my favorite artist closed up due to a medical situation before Thanksgiving. So I thought, what the heck, why not try to make my own?
My intended round beads turned into a slightly triangular shape so I just went with that and squeezed them a little more to define the triangle and I like them. I DID end up with a few rounds though. Man, even cutting these must require a specific technique so I'll be checking out books for sure.
