I have finally found some time to work with polymer clay, even though I haven’t worked on a vessel. I have signed up for this month’s Art Jewlery Elements design challenge to make something using art headpins, so I have made some using a polymer clay kaleidoscope cane.

I tried to make several of them so I’ll have the option of making something other than earrings (although I have already siphoned off one pair for earrings). I also changed shape when I got bored ;).

Come back on the 27th August to see what I make using them.

In other news my Art Charms arrived today from Jennifer Cameron’s Fairy Tale themed swap, but you’ll have to wait until 16th September to see what I made for that.

I’ve signed up for Jen Cameron’s Art Charm Swap. Sign ups close today, so be quick if you’d like to join in and help support Beads of Courage.

In exchange for sending in 11 charms, you’ll receive 10 art charms back (one of them your own), and the last one goes to auction to raise money for Beads of Courage.
