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 !

Trash to Treasure

Okay. i will not start by saying i dont have enough time to do everything i want, because it feels there never ever will be enough time.  now isnt that just a obvious attempt at fake not-mentioning that i wish i had more time? confused O_o forgive me, it's 3am and i just finished the 1st blog entry on my to do list. those darned fb games are the devil's instrument, i tell you!! stupid bubble island made me lose 1 1/2hours blog time ( and here i was saying there never is enough time when there actually IS, i just dont know how to use it :P) so where was i, really? ah. the challenge. we had a challenge this week with the theme: Trash to Treasure.  It was something really close to my heart because by nature i am a pack rat. i save stuff i think i may need "in the future". sometimes i do find a use for them, sometimes i dont, but knowing they're there when i need them is an odd comfort. 2 days before the deadline, i swam deep into my treasured mountain of trash a...

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...
