Hello and Welcome to my Blog ~ I love art of all kinds. Two of my favorites are polymer clay and paper art. I have shops on Etsy that feature both of my passions. I also love writing my blog and finding artists that have a passion for their craft and feature them. I hope your day is filled with sunshine, laughter and loads of creativity.

Polymer Clay Fairy Doors


I love the magic of Fairy Doors ~ my imagination soars to great heights with each one I see. I am pleased to present to you these beautiful Fairy Doors. (oops ~ I have mine included ~ you can judge for yourself if mine is beautiful.) (LOL)


Wooden Fairy Door ~ by Trina's Clay Creations
(my talented daugter)
A sweet wooden Fairy Door. A little portal into the world of make believe, where anything is possible and everything is sprinkled with sunshine and fairy dust! The door is surrounded with roses and green vines. There are stones around the steps. The whole piece was made entirely of polymer clay, mica powders were used to enhance and deepen the colors, and make it look as if it's been sprinkled with fairy dust.

Is this a haunted fairy house? ~No~ it's a fairy portal, perfect for that special little fairy that adores spiders.

My Newest Fairy Doors
by Sandy Prenzi

I had fun creating this little fair portal. Can't you just see a pretty little fairy entering this door. Her pixie face so filled with delight as she flits from room to room.

This little Fairy door is more like a house front. A Fairy from the Southwest would love this place to live.

Faux Polymer Clay Leather, Wood, Pebbles, Cloth and Cobblestones




I find it truly fascinating how you can turn polymer clay into wood, leather, cobblestones, cloth or even pebbles as these wonderful artisans did.

Faux Wood

Angela made this pincushion by covering a recycled tin can base with polymer clay. The faux zebrawood was inspired by Carol Blackburn's wood lesson. The matching button was created using a button mold made from Amazing Mold Putty. She used cross stitch fabric for the cushion portion.

Faux Pebbles

Tina said she could think of a longer name for her West Coast inspired Pebbles, but Polymer Clay in the title is a long word in it self.

She prefers creating pebbles with a range of colour like the ones she finds on the beaches where she lives.

This bracelet is for sale in her ArtFire shop.

Betty Jo is a retired antique dealer.

She and her daughter, Heather have their shop on Etsy where they sell their beautifully unique jewelry.


All Heathers designs are original and each piece is one of a kind. She creates delightful Broken China Jewelry from damaged china pieces, bold Art De

co jewelry from vintage Bakelite buckles & buttons and beautiful dichroic glass jewelry.

Betty Jo's interests have always been knitting, crocheting and other forms of needlework. Then about 3 years ago she discovered polymer clay. Now both Heather and Betty Jo are hand crafting pieces from Polymer Clay. This is an exciting medium with endless possibilities.

Using texture sheets, Betty Jo made this mixed media brooch. She mixed Kato blue and silver polymer clay to get the pretty blue color, stamped it, gathered it up and decorated it with small silver and lapis beads around a rhinestone component from a vintage earring.
