Weeklyish thingy and playing with clay!

Hiiiiii! I know, I skipped last week – I was very very tired last weekend which probably had to do with the fact that I started showing symptoms of a cold late Monday, and I’m just starting to feel mostly ok-ish. But hey, if I accomplished nothing else I did play with my polymer clay molds and make my first fairly successful canes. Cue the ridiculous brooches!

This girl looks waaaay less haunted than she started out – I originally used Fimo opal clay for her face AND added in rosy lips and darker eyes with pastel and every part of that was the wrong choice. It’s hard to photograph the current finish really accurately, but after a bunch of layers of different nail polishes I got the slightly iridescent warm pale pink I wanted to make her feel more like a cameo.

All of the leaves on the Green Man are canes I made with the help of a YouTube tutorial and I think they’re pretty decent for working with very soft off-brand clay and without a pasta sheeter.

Places to buy stuff!

Did I miss something?  I think that’s everything.

What’s making me happy this week:

I’m only a little snotty and coughing very occasionally, I’m taking the win.
