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!

Something Old and Something New

This is a Garden Angel which has been out of my Etsy shop for about four months. She needed a new background and I used Picmonkey (an editing program) to do just that.  I love the magical look of the background. I have now re-introduced her back into my shop.

This new creation was a fun one to do.  I had this little book that I bought at Michaels and wanted to incorporate it with a figurine.  I found that paper products can be put in the oven with the clay because of the low heat which makes it easy for placement. No fussing with glue afterwards.

Here is another creation that I re-introduced into my Etsy Shop.  A customer ordered two of these (without the jump rings) to put in her terrariums.  She wanted them to be peeking out among the leaves.

Another new item I created is this sewing bug who is being very helpful by holding a spool of thread.  I used 20 gauge wire for the antennas and glass beads for the eyes.  She is only an inch and a half tall.

Mice Run in the Family

My daughter, Trina, and I have been creating polymer clay mice, among other fanciful creations, and having such a fun time coming up with new ideas.  My daughter lives in Michigan and here I am in Texas, but we talk constantly on the phone about our newest creations.

My newest thought was to create sister mice sharing their love of ballet.

~*~*~*~

Trina created this marvelous rendition of Cinderella's mice and carriage.

~*~*~*~

My idea of a mouse peeping out of a spool of thread and it's an actual spool 

of thread.  I love the tape measure bow and his fancy ears.

Trina's mice wedding cake topper, so sweet with the heart entwined tails.

~*~*~*~

Here I go again to the sewing room with this little mouse 

holding some thread.

Strawberry anyone?  Trina must have found her raiding

 the strawberry patch.

Love says it all and this little mouse is carrying her heart around.

Trina's Clay Creations

I am so proud of my Daughter's polymer clay creations.

This is just one of her AWESOME CAKE TOPPERS that she has created.  Her work is amazing.   Take a moment to visit her shop at:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/trinasclaycreations

  

From the Artist:

This little cake topper was such fun to create!  I made a pumpkin carriage in orange and silver, adding vines, leaves and a darling oval door with a round window.  The two mice are sitting in the grass in front of the carriage, each holding a glass of wine and toasting each other.  She's dressed in red, he's in blue and both have great big eyes, making theirfaces so darling.  The topper is approximately 2" tall and sits on a 2 1/2" base.  Made as a custom order for an awesome customer of mine, I will be listing it in my Etsy shop (Trina's Clay Creations) as an example of a topper I can customize as a special gift and/or cake topper.
