polymer clay and stamping

I've been busy experimenting with polymer clay, cutters and rubber stamps. I have been quite impressed with the outcome of these pieces. The necklace and one keyring so far has been listed in my folksy shop, and the necklace has been listed on the website.
I think I'm going to experiment with different coloured clay and stamps soon.

Folksy Friday - Apples

I made this pretty bracelet last night which I named Apple Blossom. This sparked off my Folksy Friday theme of apples.

Onestoppampershop has a lovely sounding Apples and Berries Candle votive

Klaras crafts shows off these cute buttons

Sarah Howarth sports this cute notebook cover

Last but not least, it would be difficult not to fall in love with this dress from Creme Anglaise

P.S I think I need to eat more apples rather than the chocolate muffins I keep eating.

Kits

I have been playing around with some kits today. I need to use up some beads, so I bought some tins and put together some kits for anyone who want to make their own creations. Each tin has enough beads to create two pairs of earrings. The tin can then be used to gift some of the earrings if required.

And the winner is...

Dreamaid

After hearing a lot about Dreamaid as another selling outlet this weekend I decided to bite the bullet and join up.
There are no listing fees (you pay 10% of the final selling price) and then you can choose whether to donate an amount of your sale to charity.

"The Dreamaid charity helps people in poorer countries get their products to markets outside their normal reach" (taken from www.dreamaid.com)

For no listing fees I can get my products "out there" as well as doing my bit for another charity along the way.

I have set my products at 10% being donated to charity, but you can choose which percentage you want.

My products can be found here, and I am adding more every time.

Felt

I have been trying to use up some of my stash rather than keep buying more items. After making this from felt and upcycled new socks, I wasn't sure what to turn it into. A brooch and a pincushion was suggested.

In the end I left this one as it was and made a pincushion with pink felt and blue lining.

This then led me onto thinking about a keyring, so this double sided cat keyring was born.

I am pleased with how they have both turned out, so have added them both to my site, and the keyring can also be found in my Folksy shop.
