Holiday Figurines and Toppers

The Holidays are fast approaching and I am getting my Etsy Shop ready... Here are a few of the pieces you'll see when you visit Trina's Clay Creations:

Scarecrow Holding Sunflower

Inspired by a Scarecrow that I saw at a Fall Festival years ago in California, I created this one.  The scarecrow in the festival was standing and very tall, taller than me, and he was looking down at a huge Sunflower.  That Scarecrow was an entry in a Scarecrow contest and I can't remember if it was a winner, but I sure thought it should have been. 

  Elf Sitting on a Present

One day, while shopping at Michaels (one of my favorite places to shop), I found little wooden blocks.  I thought I could do something fun with them, so I purchased a few.  I wasn't sure what I was going to do... Then my muse visited, a vision came into my head... I thought of making a big beautifully wrapped (clay) present, then I thought it would be so cute to have a little elf sitting on top... So this piece came to life! 

Elf Wishing Peace

This little Elf is one of my favorite creations.  I'm not sure why... Maybe it's her sweet little face half hidden under her big hat, maybe it's the Christmas colors... The feel of the holiday, or maybe it's the message: Peace.

(¸.•´ (¸.•` ♥ Hello Everyone!

I am a proud member of the Polymer Clay Enthusiasts Team (PCE Team) on Etsy and I would like to tell you a little bit about our team.  On November 11, 2010 the team was established and I am happy to say that we are really growing!  We currently have 142 members!  Our team is made up of  so many very talented and creative members, whose polymer clay creations range from jewelry and beads to cake toppers and figurines ~ and all kinds of wonderful things in-between.

The PCE Team is open to all who create with polymer clay and sell their creations in their Etsy Shops.  It's a great place to get to know fellow polymer clay enthusiasts, and for sharing great tips and polymer clay knowledge with each other.  There are lively, informative, fun and interesting discussions to participate in, and great team challenges, where we can create wonderfully diverse treasuries... and much, much more...

In November, the Captain of our team posted an invitation on her blog and the following is what she wrote:

"We'd love to invite any and all polymer clay artists on Etsy to join our team.  The only requirement is that you work with and sell polymer clay items in your Etsy store.  This is NOT an open team.  We have done this so that only those people who are polymer clay artists, hobby-ists, and artisans can participate."

I thought I could help get her word out, by posting it here on my blog too!  So, if you think this Team is for you, please come check it out, find out more...

Trina's Clay Creations' Official Website!

Hello Everyone!!  Well... It was a LONG road, but I finally reached my destination!!  I am so happy to announce that I have my Website up and running!!  I'm not kidding, it really has been a long time in the making, two years to be exact... A friend began the process two years ago, and he got it all set up for me.  But I had the most difficult time trying to take it from where he left off... I found it very difficult to navigate within the site.  So, very frustrated, I finally gave up.  Recently my mom steered me in a different direction ~ and I thank her for that ~ because here it is two years later, and I have an official website for Trina's Clay Creations.  I am so happy with how it has turned out!  Please stop by and take a peek at Trina's Clay Creations Website and let me know what you think.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

My Studio...

Well, as promised, here are some pictures of my "Clayroom"!  It's pretty much all set up, just have a couple more things to unpack and find places for.  And I do have to figure out some kind of closet door...

I just love working in that room with those two nice windows, letting in all the light.  It was like Christmas a bit early, when I started unpacking my studio boxes - hadn't seen a lot of my stuff since 2007, when it was all packed away.  I feel so much more organized, and love having the tools I need right at my fingertips!  One of the best parts of that room is the bed - I will be adding more pillows so that it will be like a couch for people to come in and chat with me - then, when we have overnight guests, they'll have a nice place to sleep.  I am so happy to say that our first overnight guest will be our daughter!  She just sent me her itinerary for her trip here, and I was thrilled to hear that she'll be staying for two weeks - she'll be here for both Christmas and New Years!!  Her dad, brother and I are so happy about that, as are the other family members and friends here in Michigan!  We'll have time for all of our family traditions... making Christmas cookies together and attempting to make my family's Christmas Eve dinner. (Wish us luck on that one!)  It's a big traditional Italian Christmas Eve dinner (calamari, and two other fish dishes ~ as well as three different kinds of pasta dishes) which I have never prepared by myself, this will be the first time.  My daughter insisted that we try, we'll see how it turns out...  we will have fun either way, just being together. Times when we are all together are pretty rare now that my kids are all grown up!  I am so thankful for the precious moments when we can all be together!!
