Sorry I haven’t posted much this past week, I’ve been busy actually making stuff, rather than just reading about it on the internets. That does seem to be the trade-off, time spent reading & thinking vs. time actually doing. Anyhow, as I mentioned…
Just finished Tim Holtz’s tag for May. I’m not so thrilled with it, probably because it doesn’t have a focal point or a central theme. Meh. Oh well. His idea for using random rub-ons is interesting, but I think it has to be…
Phew, got Tim Holtz’s tag for April 2013 done just in time! Here’s how my desk looked whilst in progress. I probably should have put away all the polymer clay stuff, but we all know how to work in that remaining 12…

Meet Bertram, the newest member of my family of polymer clay creations. He began as a trial project from Dawn Schiller’s new book FaeMaker. I made the head pretty much like her instructions, but then went off in my own direction, deciding…
Meet the newest addition to my polymer clay family, Amethyst or Amelia for short. She’s Jasper’s big sister. (Click on any photo to see her larger than life.) It’s funny, but Jasper was fairly easy and fun to make. Amelia was only completed…
