My Unique Polymer Clay Vases


When I was hunting for some bargains at Joann's Fabrics I came across a ceramic vase that inspired me to create these out of polymer clay.  They were incredibility fun to make.  



I love the idea that the cat has't a clue that the little mouse is hiding in the vase.




I antiqued this little bird with brown acrylic paint and used twigs
 from my yard for a decorative touch.

 This is the first one that I created ~ I love the aqua blue color!

I've Been Busy Creating

As you can see, I have been quite busy in my craft room. 


 A dear friend of mine asked if I could create a hummingbird.  Well, here is my first attempt at making one.  I added a bit of sparkle to his wings and tail feathers.


I love paper dresses!  I made this one out of card stock (which I embossed) crepe paper, satin ribbon and a satin bow.  I mounted it on a 5"x7" canvas which I painted pink and personalized it with my daughter's name. I have this one for sale in my Whimsy Kreations Shop.



I created this little scene on a 6"x6" canvas which I painted a copper color. I spritzed Glimmer Mist over a stencil to give it a pattern then added my embellishments. I used polymer clay to make the bird who is sitting on twigs that I gathered from my yard.  I added a flower and the word 'Imagine' to make it complete.

This is Forest Fred who has been busy gathering wheat for the winter.  I found this large acorn cap at the Dallas Arboritum a while ago and realized that it fit Fred's head perfectly.  I created him out of polymer clay and gave him black beads for  eyes.
