Four things for Thing-A-Day, Day Seven

I got down to business yesterday, and made a new set of kaleidoscope canes. I was so good today that I took photos, and listed them all at Etsy even before doing my Thing-A-Day post.

Well, you can't go to my Etsy shop to see them, because I had barely finished the listing when they were sold! Thank you to my new customers, I appreciate your purchases and your support.

Here are the cane photos, you can click on the photos to enlarge them.






As soon as I am finished here and check into Polymer Clay Central, it's back to the Claypen I go!

Some Earrings for Thing-A-Day, Day 6

I have been making some fun and cute earrings - here is a pair made from a green kaleidoscope cane. I also have some awesome orange kaleidoscope cane earrings to get sanded, so be looking for them soon.

Thing-A-Day, Day 6 - I'm really having fun with this!

Thing a Day Challenge Day 5 - am I slowing down?

Uh oh. Only Day 5 and here I am posting in the afternoon, where I was posting right after midnight a couple of days. The reason is that I didn't get to work on my new cane due to a headache and extreme tiredness yesterday, and snow this morning.

But now I'm back to my cheery self, and want to share these fun beads in my "Planetary" theme. Expect to see similar beads this month, hint hint. The rock-tumbler-turned-bead-sander has been working hard for the past week or so.

Thing A Day - Day 4

I made this kaleidoscope cane with scraps just to see if I could make it work, and it did! This is from Donna Kato's recent book about millefiori caning. It was fun to do but I wish I'd started with more clay because it ended up rather small.

I didn't get to make a new cane for Day 5 today, and the Claypen chat is in the morning. So I will have to hustle to get one made and photoed on time for Day 5! Wonder if I can do it?

Day 3 of the Thing A Day Challenge

The month is starting to blur already - who will keep up and who will NOT keep up? This is the burning question! Well okay, so it isn't the burning question but it sounded exciting, didn't it? All the members of Polymer Clay Central are secretly hanging out in their studios at night, making who knows what kind of polymer clay concoctions to be revealed the next day....?

Well I have some more kaleidoscope canes, surprise, surprise. These are a little different, different colors, different look, but I like them a lot. To me they look like little bits of a medieval forest from a fantasy book.

With no further ado, here they are:




I enjoy all your comments and read every one of them, so please don't hesitate to post them.

See you tomorrow, time for me to go hang out in my Claypen and consider what kind of concoction I can whip up for tomorrow!

"Thing A Day" - Day 2

Today, Day 2 of the "Thing A Day" challenge at Polymer Clay Central, I have four things...sort of. I made some more kaleidoscope canes and had fun doing them. One of these days this month I will show photos of the process I go through to get to the point of actually having kaleidoscope canes to share.

Here are the Orange Kaleidoscope canes that I made, I just love them:





I can't seem to stop making canes! It's been so much fun and I am in the process of making more of them now. So, I'm off to the Claypen again - to "work" (haha).

It's THING A DAY at Polymer Clay Central - let's go!

February is a special month not only because of Valentine's Day, but also because it's the month that many of us polymer clayers choose to celebrate the "Thing A Day" challenge at Polymer Clay Central. The challenge is to make and share one thing every day during February.

This may be a little like putting the cart before the horse, since I made the kaleidoscope cane first.... but here is a pretty kaleidoscope pendant that I made to start off with. I had loads of fun making it and will soon be putting it in my Etsy shop.

I am looking forward to the challenge because not only do I get to create great eye candy all month, I also get to see great eye candy all month. It's very inspiring and a fun way to share what many of us are doing.

So, with that, I'm off to make something for tomorrow. Hope I can keep up.
