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

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.
