TICKING

Here are some original polymer clay wall clocks from marcympc.etsy.com to remind you about changing the clocks tomorrow.

We all gonna get an extra hour!

STEAMPUNK

Rafa Maya is an artist from Barcelona, who uses polymer clay in his Steampunk creations only occasionally. The three pictures below are the only works I found, in which he included polymer clay, but the results are simply amazing. Surprisingly, his main medium is cardboard, assembled in fascinating designs and painted to look as metal.

You can see Rafa's works in his Etsy shop and blog.

WHIMSY

Anything and everything can be made out of polymer clay, and the only limitation is your own imagination.

I found a few examples to prove this statement in celticwhim.etsy.com: Shrek ears and wearable horns of any shape and color are in abundance before Halloween.

BUMPY

These fun modern designs combining silver and polymer clay are from Ashley Akers' shop.

Ashley has a BFA degree in jewelry and metal smithing. She works in a plant shop and has a great passion for plants and outdoors.

Find out more about Ashley and her works through her blog and web site.

WICKED

RESCUING

100% of the money earned by Steph Hanson from her Etsy shop goes towards helping the rescued horses at Dreamchaser Horse Rescue and Rehabilitation.

Great cause and beautiful creations!

COMBINED

Betty Jo Hendershott and her daughter Heather love polymer clay, because it "is a wonderful medium, it can be combined with almost anything to make delightful one of a kind jewelry". Here are a few of their works combining polymer clay with colored wire.

Find more of their works on Etsy, in their blog, and on Flickr.

EXPLORING

I want to show you these wonderful fantasy dolls by Rosa Grueso, a polymer clay artist from Barcelona, Spain. She says: "...this art form (doll-making) offers me creativity with endless options to explore".

You can see more works by Rosa at nenufarblanco.etsy.com, as well as at her web site and blog.

TRANSFERRED

These elegant switch plates are perfect examples of the popular image transfer onto polymer clay technique. Find them at KaeLynnDesign.etsy.com.

CUTE

These cute little pendants based on fairy tales are from Wear a Tale series by Red Fenyx. Lovely concept and wonderful execution!
There are more pictures of this Italian's artist works in her blog and photo album.

TOASTY

Gail Krenecki's Neckies are polar fleece neck-warmers with handmade polymer clay buttons. Simple designs adorned by colorful polymer clay buttons, they look great and come in many color combinations. I love Cail's description of polymer clay: "Hue haven". I think it is applicable to her little cozy scarfs as well.

WHIMSICAL

I found some funny fat cats this morning. These are polymer clay creations by Susan Wrisley (Arts & Cats). With only a handful of basic forms, Susan masterfully creates endless designs by altering her cat's colors and accessories.
More cats are at www.artsandcats.net and www.flickr.com/photos/artsandcats.

REFLECTIVE

For some reason, I do not often see polymer clay mirrors and picture frames on Etsy, although this material is great for making them. Here are some beautiful examples from AtelierPatricia.etsy.com.

FLUFFY

Believe it or not, but this polymer clay, too!

Aleah Klay sculpts these Lil Buggers using polymer clay and viscose fiber. Each miniature sculpture is just an inch or two in size!

Find these amazing creatures at aleahklay.etsy.com.

UNUSUAL

In the ever-so-popular world of polymer clay wedding cake toppers, it is probably quite difficult to come up with something distinguishably different, yet Kelley Opperud manages to do just that. Find these and other works by Kelley in her Etsy shop, SweetPixiePie.etsy.com.

AMAZING

Betty Abbott bought a copy of my Encyclopedia of Polymer Clay Leaves and e-mailed me to tell about her plans of using my caning techniques for her sculptures. Betty has been sculpting in polymer clay for just over 3 years, and she makes amazing faeries, mermaids, and other fantasy creatures. I cannot wait to see how she is going to work the leaf-cane techniques into the fins and tail of her next mermaid, and I am sure it is going to be something special.

You can see more works by Betty at her web site, ooakfantasy.com.

EXQUISITE

Noelia Contreras makes amazing mica shift designs – with clean and sharp lines that are quite tricky to achieve with this technique. Her new striped designs demonstrate the same wonderful mastership. Find her works at daoine.etsy.com and www.flickr.com/photos/daoine.
