R.I.P Jade

I wasn't a major Jade Goody fan or anything but she died today and thats sad.  Mainly because she has left 2 children behind and its Mothers Day but also because she is the same age as me and that makes me think.  I know 1000's of people die everyday/week from cancer but when its shoved in your face all over the T.V and in the media I can't help but think "shit that could be me" so rest in peace Jade and I hope woman everywhere save their own life and get checked because of you.

Some more pendants & other news

Here is another of my new Art Clay pendants which I really love.  The is made by backfilling the silver with polymer clay, it works really well I think.

I have listed this in my Etsy shop along with some others too.  I have also opened a shop over at Folksy.com I have listed the same 3 silver pendants that are in my Etsy store as the design I have used can be easily replicated.  Folksy is another Etsy type site for all handmade products and it is U.K based, yay so prices are in Sterling for all the U.K buyers out there.

I hope to have some new earrings in the shop over the weekend as I am experimenting with paper clay at the moment so watch this space!

New Work


Art Clay Silver & Black Polymer
Originally uploaded by ✭Lou✭

I have finally got round to making some silver clay pieces and got the chance to use the kiln.  I have made 3 things so far and I think they have turned out really well.  I have a few more ideas using the same style as above which I am going to try out this afternoon.  When I have made a few more pieces I will get some in my Etsy store.
The above piece combines Art Clay Silver and Polymer clay and I love this combination especially with the black clay, it really stands out.
I had a little trouble photographing the pieces due to the reflections so that is something I need more practice on I think.

O.K back to the clay room!
