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.

Fun with Terra Cotta Clay

As you can see, I work a lot with Terra Cotta Polymer Clay.  I love the rich color and how my finished creations look whether I have put a shiny finish on them or not.   I buy the large boxes of this clay at Michaels, but only if I have a coupon for the discount.  Here are some that I have made using this wonderful clay.

Polymer Clay Matchbox Art


I love Matchbox Art ~ I created the first matchbox for a friend.  I used terra cotta polymer clay and stamped it with a swirl design.  I created a rolled edge for the top of the matchbox and added a copper flower and pull to compliment the design.  The top pulls open and displays a full set of matches.  It was such a fun piece to create.


This green and gold polymer clay matchbox was one of the first  I ever designed.  I used Gold Leaf on the heart to give the matchbox a bit of glam.


I created this matchbox for my Etsy Shop which was recently purchased .  
As you can see I am getting it ready to mail to my customer.  
I embossed a small piece of card stock with a pretty little bird scene and 
included matches to fill up the box.


Last of all I created this matchbox to add to my Etsy Store.  I decided to do 
this with black polymer clay and added silver accent pieces.   




I embossed silver card stock for the inside of the box with circles
 resembling bubbles from the sea.
