Mom's Day Sale this week!

Just a short post today since I should really be finishing everything for the sale tonight. Here are a few of the things that will be included, a link to a quaint little playlist of songs used in a cooking show I just recently discovered ( I love it so so much!) and an interesting article on the seriously labor-intensive process that the Japanese grow -and sometimes brand- their apples! Amazing!

Hi Jen,
I am a follower of your blog and I love your art work in polymer clay, I have been working with clay since 2004. I am crazy about your flowers and love the style and design so much because they remind me of vintage flowers. Do you have a tutorial for making these flowers as I would very much like to learn how. I have tried to do it on my own but they just aren't right . I tried to look at some of Donna Kato's work to see if I could apply it to your flower cane and it's still not working. Can you please help me ! I have a swap that I am in and would love to make some of these flower canes for my bracelet. Please email me dgibson@bak.rr.com,you can Facebook me, my name is Debra Gibson, I live in Shafter ,Ca. I would love to hear from you! And since your so far across the water I will never be able to come to your island !
Thank You ,Jen
Hope to hear from you soon !
Happy Claying !

purpleluggage floral headbands

Just a little info on the floral headbands I just posted. A lot of people have been asking about them saying they look so pretty and dainty but wonder why they're priced differently than most headbands out in the market, so I wanted to give you guys a little peek into what actually goes into making these pretty floral pieces :) I begin by making the petal canes I will use to make flowers. I usually make them by batches so i always have several canes with the same color scheme. my pasta machine, my trusty sidekick When I've made enough canes, i cut very thin slices from these petal canes and make the flowers by hand, building each flower petal by petal. And when I've made enough flowers I assemble them and lay them out on a brass finish headband base and bake the whole shebang in the oven. The whole process ( from making canes to baking to post-curing processes) takes about two days. yep. Two days. So although they do cost more th

New Canes

I was in a caning mood today but before making more, i knew i had to sort through the mess of canes i've accumulated over the years.  i've been meaning to sort them out since a lot of them have become too hard or they just don't go  with my designs anymore.   i threw a lot onto the scrap pile, a few i kept, while the other i set aside to make into usable kaleidoscope canes Scrap heap! some canes i tried softening up by dunking them in hot water for a couple of minutes. i needed them soft so they wont break when i make them into kaleidoscope canes. quite a few went into this cane covered it with a striped sheet i had lying around from when i made the peacock feather cane. not my current palette, but it's a happy looking cane so i'm giving it away instead :) i really loved how the first cane i did using this improvised technique turned out (the black and white one)   so i decided to make more of
