Sandra DeYoung says she is a polymer clay fanatic! The items you see in her shop are all handmade, by her, in her studio. She enjoys making pendants, beads, earrings and home use items like bookmarks, coasters, and clocks.  From time to time you can see all of these items for sale in her shop, but she tends to focus on lovely pendants and beads.  She has handcrafted each of her designs so no two items are exactly alike. Sandra says she enjoys what she does and you can see by her work that she takes pride in offering a quality product to you.

Today I am featuring the

Handsculpted  Whimsical

Polymer Clay Jewelry

By:

Delicious Hobo

 

DeliciousHobo mixes flavor and funk to create whimsical and unique polymer clay jewelry.  From octopi to dragons, this shop specializes in amplifying the ordinary and exploring the extraordinary.

Here's what the artist says about her work:

I'm highly addicted to crafting. First and foremost, I love to make wearable art. My passion for painting, sculpting, and accessories has given birth to my one-of-a-kind jewelry.

Every item that I sell has had a great deal of time and dedication put into it. Many of my pieces are made over the course of several days – clay molding, baking, sometimes sanding and/or painting, sealing, and assembling. All my polymer clay pieces are handmade. I don't use texture sheets, stencils, molds, or anything other than my hands and a couple tools. Therefore, each item is not only one of a kind, but is also a representation of my artistic dedication. 

The Last Unicorn Necklace

This mystical creature is not only beautiful, but completely one-of-a-kind. It was hand-sculpted out of polymer clay, and then hand painted with shimmering acrylic paints. It's eye is a shiny, Czech glass bead, adding a soulful look to it's face.

 

 If Only I had the Courage ~ Lion Necklace

This adorable lion was hand-sculpted out of polymer clay and given a shiny nose and eyes with high gloss sealer. With sad eyes, shimmering gold fur, and movable legs and arms, it truly makes a courageous statement.

 

Cherry Blossom Branch Necklace

This necklace is sweet and delicate, yet still makes a bold statement. The pendant was hand-sculpted out of polymer clay, and then the flowers were painted with acrylic paints and sealed with a shiny finish. At the center of each flower are faux pearls.

 

Tree Cameo Necklace 

This one of a kind necklace represents the beauty of nature captured in a rustic frame. The scene was hand-sculpted out of shimmering polymer clay and sparking gemstone stars. The frame was transformed from shiny gold acrylic to elegantly aged, using texture paints and acrylic paints to give it a rusty look.

Beautiful Pottery

created by:

Jarita Thomson of

 Jarita's Creations

Earthy Hand~Built Pottery and Jewelry

I have been admiring, and have been inspired by, Jarita's beautiful work ever since I first saw it on Etsy.  She creates wonderful pieces, each with such lovely detail!  Jarita says she is awestruck at the incredible magic and beauty of the earth's creations and she attempts to share her admiration for what nature has created by recreating a personal intepretation in her artwork.  ... And she does it beautifully!

Romantic 'Antique Rose'

A Unique Birdhouse

Here's a little of what the Artist says about her work:

"I feel that magic is necessary for contentment and joy in life! My artwork is a celebration of that magic. I hope that through my creations, others may bring this joy into their homes and appreciate the magic of nature's creations!"

"I handbuild each piece with great attention to detail creating vases that will complement the flowers within, candle cups that will encourage the firelight to dance, faerie- style birdhouses that inspire the hope of new beginnings, and earthy jewelry that encompasses the magic of the forest."

"Although I was first introduced to ceramics about 20 years ago, I have been developing my own ceramic art for over 10 years - learning, growing, and creating new designs and techniques."

"One of my favorite firing methods is raku due to the fascinating color variances that can be achieved with the copper-based glazes on my leaf designs. I love the way they can resemble the red-green shades of a new spring leaf or the golden plum & fiery shades of fall. The crackle effect also adds depth, softness, and the feeling of time -a feeling of a place somewhere within eternity."
