Polymer Clay Swan floral Arrangement


Have you ever had a dream that you just had to create when you woke up? That’s what happened to me with this swan. I woke up knowing exactly what it was going to look like but no idea how I was going to get it there. This has been a mammoth task but I’m so glad I was able to do it. I still have some last minute finishing touches to do on it but for the most part it’s complete.

I handcrafted each petal and leaf from polymer clay and then hand painted some details on each one. Would I do it again, I’ve asked myself that question and the answer is a resounding YES I would! In fact, I will be starting another arrangement soon but it won’t be nearly as complicated as this one was. I have no idea where this new-found art form will take me but I’m enjoying the ride and hope you enjoy it with me. 

Life Size Polymer Clay Flowers


Over the past week I’ve been challenging myself to handcraft a life-like floral arrangement out of polymer clay. It’s had its ups and downs so far but I’m making progress. This will be the most difficult piece I’ve attempted so far. I have always had a love of flowers so I figured why not see if I can do this. I must say the greenery is a hard thing to recreate too but the Tulip is by far the hardest yet. You can follow my progress on facebook too as I post there as soon as I complete a flower. Here are a few I’ve finished so far. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I’d love to get your opinion and suggestions.

Polymer clay Polar Bear


I’ve been working on this Polar Bear the last couple of days since the weather is so wet and cold outside here in Oregon. It seemed like the perfect subject to go along with the wintery mix. Although it’s not completed, I wanted to share my progress with you.

Polymer Clay Salmon Sculpture


Well here it is, the finished sculpture. The only thing left to do is seal it and send it off to my Dad  for father’s Day. I had fun with this one.Image Now to figure out what to create next, hmmm. I do have a necklace to work on for the AMY Roloff Charity Foundation but it’s still in the design stage at the moment. A trip to the Zoo would be fun and inspiring but we don’t have one close enough for me to go. Sure wish we did though. There’s nothing more fun than spending the day at the zoo checking out the wildlife.

 

 

Father’s Day Sculpture


I’m working on a Father’s Day sculpture right now and wanted to share it with you. I’ve completed the Salmon and now will be working on the stand to hold it. I’m pretty happy with how the fish came out and have my fingers crossed that the rest of it will be what I have planned. ImageYou never know when you’ll have a happy accident though and everything changes. I suppose that’s what I love about working with clay. You just never know how your creation will turn out until it’s finished. I’ll post the completed sculpture soon as I plan on working on it again today.
