Smooshers Blog Roll- Hearts

Smoosher member Kris of Art Asylum, was kind enough to start up the Blog Roll again for the Polymer Clay Smooshers guild.  The theme for this week is Hearts, which is just perfect, since most of us have been busy making plenty of Valentines themed items.
This meaningful sculpture from Amy Crawley reminds us that Hope Heals.
 
The word Hope is carved into the front of the heart, and the word Heals is carved into the back.  The heart can even be removed from the hands and carried with you if you choose.

Of course I love this heart necklace from AverilPam- it's purple after all!
 
Not only do I like the fact that this heart is purple, but I love the effect of the crackled silver leaf on the pink clay.

This black heart flower necklace from Christina Kosinski Designs is very unique and striking.
 
I love the way the pretty flowers stand out against the black background. 

And this heart necklace and earring set from Danas Jewelry Etc is so pretty and feminine! 
I love the way she made white polymer clay resemble lace- it adds a dainty touch.

So these are just a few of the beautiful polymer clay hearts that can be found in the shops of the Smooshers!  With Valentines Day only a few weeks away now is the perfect time to find a special gift for your Valentine!

Give your sweetheart a handmade teddy bear for Valentine's day

I've been having a lot of fun creating handmade, one of a kind teddy bears lately.  Bears like Throckmorton (with the long teal blue fur) and Perdita (with the purple fur) are made from high quality faux fur fabric and stuffed with polyester fiberfill.  In the case of Throckmorton, I also added plastic pellets to add weight and "floppiness".  Throckmorton is 17 inches tall and his sister, Perdita is 18 inches tall.  Both have plastic safety joints in their arms, legs, and head.  They also have plastic safety eyes and embroidered mouths.

Then there are my knit bears, which were created with acrylic yarn and stuffed with polyester fiberfill.  The little purple bear measures 6 1/2 inches tall, the pink, red, and white bear measures 11 1/2 inches tall, and the cream and gold bear measures 18 inches tall.  I embroidered the eyes, mouth and nose for the small purple bear.  The larger knit bears have plastic safety eyes and noses, and embroidered mouths.

 

All of the pictures are linked, and will take you directly to the listings.  Thanks so much for checking out my sweet and cuddly handmade teddy bears!

Valentine's Hearts from CreativeCritters

I thought I'd share some of my items with hearts today, since Valentine's Day is fast approaching.  My angel doll was sewn by hand and wears a pretty white gown with a red heart print.
I have lots of jewelry featuring hearts as well.

I also have some adorable and silly heart magnets.
And these little Angel sculptures are just too cute!
Thanks for checking out my hearts!
