And the winner is................

...........Di Keeble

Well done Di.
Your pendant will be winging it's way to you very soon. I hope you like it.

I have enjoyed doing this give away and can't wait to do the next one.
Thank you all for all your lovely comments here and on FB and for re tweeting, You're all Fabulous!

A seasidey tutorial

Here's a little tutorial. I made these buttons using some caramel browns, white, pale blues and more white, lovely beachy colours. They have a mica shift back for which I used one of my own texture sheets.
Hope you like it, why not have a go at making some too. They could be done in different colours which would give a totally different look.

A Giveaway in Celebration!

Well after a very long labour and even longer pregnancy, our new little grandson, Harry James Richardson is finally here!
Poor Claire had a traumatic labour, a caesarian after forceps, but Harry arrived safely on the 8th February weighing 10lb 2oz. Wow!

To celebrate his birth I am having a giveaway.

This pendant is made from polymer clay. I stamped it with a butterfly wing stamp then added ink in aubergine and silver metallic powder to give it an iridescence. I've put it on a silver snake chain which threads through a glued on bail.
It is a beautiful pendant, nearly kept it for myself.

To be in with a chance of winning all you have to do is leave a comment and I'll get Claire to pick a winner from the hat on Harry's behalf

Here it is...

Finally... Here's Harry

Feel the love February! A give away

February, the month of love, and there's a beautiful heart bead to be won Here
All you have to do is follow Ness's blog or Facebook page and leave a comment.
How generous are people?

I must have a give away myself, very soon.

Buttons Galore

I am fast becoming a huge button addict since discovering that I can actually make my own from polymer clay. I also did a little test to see if they were safe to wash and pleased to say that as long as they are washed on a cool (30o) wash then they are absolutely fine.

Here are the latest ones from my little crafty room

Here are some more button friends.

The very talented members of the Craft Pimp team have been know to make and use the odd button too.
Faith made these very pretty textured ones, I love the shape too.

Helen makes beautiful buttons out of glass,

Of course I couldn't leave Lesa out, she makes the most amazing wedding bouquets from buttons.

Mel makes wonderful cards and now these unique Christmas decorations using felt buttons.

One of my most favourite places to shop on the internet is Emma Ralph's EJR Beads She sells all you could need as a polymer clay artist, she is so friendly and helpful too. I love getting parcels in the post from Emma, it's just like Christmas.


These are some of the amazing art beads she creates

She has a facebook page too
