Reawakening

I've been playing a lot with polymer clay recently culminating in a project I'm really quite proud of - but can't fully post about yet because the recipient hasn't seen it! Polymer clay has been one of my staple crafty go to's since I was little. I used to spend hours playing with it, making jewellery and ornaments for friends and family. Somehow though, as I got older, I drifted away from it and certainly never thought it could be one of those serious craft items that "proper" crafters use! How wrong was I! As I look around the various craft forums it is definitely being used, and being used really well! People far more talented than myself are creating really beautiful items with this humble material. As a result my passion has been reawakened and I'm enjoying seeing just where I can take it. Watch this spot :-)

Spring has sprung

Spring is most definitely trying to spring around here and the new found sunny warmness is starting to make its way into my new makes. Time to set aside the warm winter reds and golds and bring in some new fresher colours. This prompted a run to the craft store the other weekend (well that and I had a voucher so it would be rude not to go!) and lots of wonderful goodies are sat waiting  for some new projects. I'll post photos up as soon as I get a chance :-)
