Experimenting

I am thinking of changing the backgrounds on my Etsy shop pics for my jewellery by adding a bit of colour and brightening them up.  I have been experimenting with the backgrounds today, not sure if I will change them yet though I am undecided!

Pens that write on polymer clay...

....and don't smudge! do any exist? The only ones I have found to work so far are the Eberhard Faber Decoro Lackmarker.  Sometimes I need a pen when I am doing a certain design on my cake toppers and also for when I write the couples names on the base of the topper but finding one that works is hard!  If anybody out there can point me in the right direction of preferably a fine black pen but a pack of colours would be good too, I would be most grateful! :)

New Year New Moleskine

I love the Moleskine, I was a bit late getting my diary for this year as it has only just arrived and I love the weekly notebook, plenty of room for writing and it has a nifty yearly planner at the front where I write all of my cake topper orders.  Makes life much easier when I can see what I need to make at a glance! I aso have a sketchbook and I want to get the watercolour book next, well in fact I want to collect them all! The cheapest place to get them I think has got to be Amazon.

Here is a group on flickr dedicated to all things Moleskine.  Some awesome Moleskine art.

Full of cold

I am full of cold (boo) so I haven't been in my clay room at all this last week or so, I was feeling extra motivated too! :S
I haven't made a piece of jewellery for a couple of weeks now as I have had to cake my cake toppers made for this month and next, its been nice to work on something different.

So as I haven't got anything new to show here is Bella all cute and cuddly on my lap :)
