Shades of Purple

So this week's blog roll for the Polymer Clay Smooshers Guild is Purple.  I personally love the color and it seems that every else does, as well.  Since I don't have much time this week I thought I would just post and run.  Hope every one enjoys viewing my purple choices.

It's Time to Visit the Sea!

Some of my favorite time is spent on the beach.  I love the beaches of Maine where the beaches range from long strips of tan sand to tiny coves amidst the rocky Maine coast.  I can not image going for long stretches of time without being able to hear the crashing waves and smell that unique tangy ocean scent.  Fortunately, I live in Central Massachusetts and the ocean is no more than an hour's drive from my house and even the beaches of Maine can be visited with only an hour and a half drive.

That being said, I was glad to learn that this week's Smoosher's topic was "Every thing's a beach."  Polymer clay lends itself so well to replicating sea life and it can be used to fashion jewelry with a beachy flair.  I, myself, have made flip flop earrings and necklaces for summer or vacation wear and I'd like to share these other "beachy" items that I found in the shops of other Polymer Clay Smoosher's.

This gorgeous Sand Dollar Pendant can be found in BeadCombers shop.
This adorable Under the Sea Switch Plate Cover by Fantasy Clay would be perfect for a little girl's bedroom.
Starfish are an iconic symbol of beach life and this Lucky Starfish Necklace from Gem'sPCCreations is a lovely example of what can be created using polymer clay.
I found this OOak Sea Turtle in KaelMijoy's shop.  
And this Day On The Water Pendant by Valerie's Stuff brings the beach feel to everyday.
I'm sure I could go on and on finding fantastic beach themed items but I think I'll stop here.  I'm looking forward to visiting my favorite beaches again, now that the warmer weather has finally arrived.

Fantasy Creatures from The Polymer Clay Smooshers Guild

This has been a bad week for me.  My husband's been out sick for most of it with a horrid cold.  So between taking care of him and running out to get cold medication, I haven't had much chance to do anything.  He finally went back to work today and I have the house to myself.  What a glorious feeling!

Today is this first time, this week, that I've had a chance to check out the Smooshers Guild on Art Fire.  I was delighted to find out that this week's blog roll topic was Smoosher's choice! 

I've decided to do fantasy creatures , since I love dragons and fairies and the like.
While this is not a fantasy creature, it allows fairies access and egress to your home.

While these are not all the fantasy creatures created by this guild, I think they represent some to the best!  You can check out some of the other artists here:

Sadie, The Quilter OOAK Art Doll

I just wanted to share my newest Art Doll with everyone.  Her name is Sadie and she's a quilter.  She is a custom order for a customer's sister, who also quilts.

Sadie is 20" tall with a serene hand painted face.  She is constructed from muslin and has pink satin stockings and a bohemian layered dress.  Her cloud of platinum hair is standard doll hair and she wears a headband to contain it.

The Colors Of The Rainbow

Polymer clay lends itself well to creating the colors of the rainbow.  It comes in a myriad of colors and other custom colors can be mixed quite readily.  It is good to keep a "recipe" book of just how you mixed certain colors, just in case you create a color that you absolutely adore. 

The current Blog Roll assignment for the Polymer Clay Smooshers Guild is "Rainbow"  and while I couldn't find any rainbows, I did find every color of the rainbow in their works. 

Here are just a few:



There are many more examples I could show but these are a few of the wonderful, colorful pieces made by the polymer clay artists on Art Fire.

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Another week and another blog roll for the Polymer Clay Smooshers Guild.  This week's topic is April showers.  Here in New England, we haven't had many of these.  As a matter of fact, we're having a bit of a drought right now.  Normally, my perennials would be coming up but they seem a bit delayed, maybe because of the lack of rain.  So while my yard is a bit bare of flowers, I can always count on my fellow Smooshers to make up for that with their gorgeous clay flowers.

Here's something from Creative Critters-the queen of floral scenes.
There are many more example but I think that I've covered a wide scope of the amazing flowers in polymer clay.

You Are My Sunshine

The color yellow comes in many hues, from bright sunshine yellow to palest tones.  Yellow seems to lift the spirit and brighten the day.  Here are some example from the Polymer Clay Smooshers Guild on Art Fire highlighting the color yellow.


This beautiful clay pendant highlights the complimentary colors of yellow and purple in an colorful explosion of flowers.


Pricess Rosalina (Mario Galaxy) Earrings from PinkMonkeyClay

These vibrant yellow earrings are sure to draw attention.


Lovely Sunflower Pendant that reminds us that summer is never far away.


And another one of Creative Critter's whimsical designs.
