I’ve always enjoyed Ron’s hearts, but the simplicity and theme of this batch really got to me. Great work Ron!

Scrap polymer clay can bring on notions of joy, fear, anxiety, anger, frustration, and elation all on the same day. Today I’m going to show you a brief video that hopefully will inspire you NOT to throw every piece of clay into the mud bin, but to salvage your clay scraps.

There’s just something about spring, summer, gardens, and snails that makes me totally happy. This new worksheet will walk you through all the steps to make your own little garden variety (but cuter) snail to add to your potted plants, window sill, fairy garden, and so much more.
Don’t forget that when you get a worksheet from the shop, you get a coupon valid toward your NEXT worksheet purchase too.
Thanks for joining me today,


Welcome to another special edition tutorial! Once again today I’m traveling to East Palestine, Ohio to join with Brenda Landsdowne from B’Sue Boutiques to film a new project tutorial for you. Brenda & Christi Friesen have joined together to create a new fun filled jewelry making group Bohemian Vibe. These pendants can be adapted to fit right into your Bohemian trend jewelry creations. And, yes, we’re making a smaller version in earring form too.

Ancient Egypt has long fascinated me. I love the history, the stories, the Biblical events … everything. When my husband and I journeyed to New York City in 2010, we went to the King Tut exhibit. One of the things I have always wanted was my own gold cartouche. Sadly, with the price tag being well over $200 there was no way I could afford it. But as always, polymer clay to the rescue … with an awesome DIY polymer clay cartouche tutorial so you can make your own pendant too!
This project is so much fun you might even end up ‘walking like an Egyptian’ before it’s completely baked.

I don’t often do jewelry tutorials as it truly isn’t my passion. But let’s be honest … Independence Day is a great day to wear your red, white, blue, & stars! So, let’s just put them all together for a little bit of fun, shall we?!
