 Magenta & Green Tropical Flower Necklace

By: Midnight Blossoms

This blossom pendant is entirely made from polymer clay (Fimo). I did all the color mixing and assembled each petal on a base of polymer clay. I drilled the hole for the bail by hand and attached a silver plated bail. This necklace has a organza ribbon and multi cord necklace that is adjustable between 16-18 inches. The blossom measures appx 5cm diameter x 0.5cm width.

Three Wise Sock Monkeys 

See No Evil, Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil

By: PeeWee's ClayHouse

The idea originated from japan & the monkeys are : hear no evil (kikazaru) speak no evil (iwazaru) & see no evil (mizaru). Japanese names translate to don't hear, don't speak & don't see. Zaru is the verb for "don't" in Japanese & monkey is saru. They are both pronounced the same so some clever chap put two & two together & that is how we get the monkeys representing it. Now with these cuties you can have a whimsical way to remember it.  Each sock monkey is about 2" tall & 1.5" wide & made-to-order from Premo Scupley polymer clay using no molds.

Fairy House Tea Pot

By:  Happy Cake Toppers

Complete with window box's brimming with flowers a magical fairy door and fully removable lilac floral lid.

Miniature Tropical Fairy Village

By: Fizzy Claret

A tiny little fairy village of 3 mini fairy flower houses handmade from polymer clay and decorated with acrylic paint in lovely deep red and brown colours. The smallest house is 1 & 5/8ths inches (4.1cm) tall and the tallest is 1 & 7/8ths inches (4.7cm) tall.  The village is very pretty and will look beautiful on a shelf, as part of a terrarium, amongst potted plants, as part of a dollshouse fairy scene, as a cake topper...etc. Wherever you decide to display them they will give a unique and beautiful display.

Today I am featuring the 

Cutest Coin Purses

Created by: 

Napkitten

In the Artist's Own Words:

When I was 5 years old, I started to make crafts and loved it so much. In my whole family, I had only one fan, my grandma. At that time, I could only make some simple origami, such as bird, boat, pants… Every time when I finished, I would show them to my granny. No matter how ugly they were, my granny always said: ”Wow, how beautiful!!! My granddaughter is the smartest girl.” There was no internet, no blog, no crafts forum then, so my granny was my only audience. Her smile was my only encouragement. Little by little, I started to learn sewing, crocheting and knitting. I was so glad I could spend boring and hot summer holiday in crafting. At my 12, I became able to crochet hat and sock. At my 14, I became able to sew pants. Afterwards, I had less and less spare time to make crafts. I had to spend all my time and energy in schools and universities to get degrees. Moreover, life is not always happy and beautiful, sometimes full of stress, sometimes full of tears, sometimes full of pains. Ten years ago, my dear granny left me forever. I cannot stop missing her even now. How sad... Now everything has been settled down. The happiest thing in my life is that I have such a nice husband to support, understand, and love me. So I regain my peaceful life to wakeup my faraway and happiest memory from my deepest heart. I start to make crafts again. Everyday, I enjoy the designing and creating. It seems I returned to my sunny childhood and I saw my granny’s encouraging smile again.

The metal frame was sewn onto the purse with needle and cotton thread.I attached a picture of the purse with my hand to show the proportion, about 4" long and wide as the zippered one.The shape is so comfortable to be held in hand. The round body can be put enough coins.....It shows a little bird standing on a branch.

Unique and wonderfully created, I have admired Traci Howard's work since first seeing it. I am happy to feature her here today.  Enjoy!

 

In the Artist's Own Words:

I like to make anything from pretty much everything.  Although I mainly make fantasy creatures, there are always other projects on the side.  I have been fortunate enough to live and travel off my craft my entire adult life...  Two years ago I gave birth to twin boys (my best creations yet!).  I have just found a wee bit of time for myself and am getting my creative ball rolling once again...  

 

 Steampunk Pete

Steampunk Pete is has been roaming festivals for years and is a real character, full of wild and wonderful tales...  His head is made from polymer clay and the rest of him is made from epoxy and all sorts of bits and bobs make up the rest of him.  He is made with much love, care and attention to detail.  The chest he is sitting on does open, a great place to keep those wee treasures :)

 

 

 Dragon on a Rock
