Featuring Polymer Clay Smoosher Emily Claire Creations

EmilyClaireCreations sculpts lovely textured polymer clay jewelry

Valerie, of EmilyClaireCreations, says "Making jewelry makes me supremely happy. It is a one true medium where I can express myself. I follow my bliss. I believe it shows in my designs. Jewelry should be something anyone can wear no matter what size, shape, age or color you are, it is a statement to accentuate your personality.
I enjoy working with semi-precious stones, copper, silver, and glass. Recently I have discovered a passion for polymer clay. I love making my own beads and pendants. I have barely scratched the surface of polymer clay, and I hope to expand into mixed media, using various metals, imagery and found objects.
I am born and raised in the rust belt of Ohio. I come from a declining industrial area, which I believe has colored my influences and attitude. I find beauty in nature and industrial decay. Northeast Ohio boasts of both and it makes for an eclectic and inspirational pallet
Nature inspires me, so I incorporate earth tones, with earthy materials, to create unique pieces." Valerie is a fellow member of the Polymer Clay Smooshers guild on ArtFire and can also be found online at emilyclairecreations.blogspot.com, Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter. She's even having a 15% off sale right, so this is the time to stop in and purchase some of the beautiful pieces Valerie has for sale. She has MANY very satisfied customers singing her praises as well! Here is just a tiny sample of what they've had to say about their buying experience at EmilyClaireCreations. "I am so excited about my bat earrings! They are so cute and so incredibly light weight. Thank you Valerie, I cannot wait to see your Christmas items", "My leafy pendant has beautiful color and texture... I have plans to incorporate it into a special necklace! Thanks so much for your talent and fast, friendly service", "My earrings are absolutely gorgeous~~ so lifelike and full of earthy detail, color & texture! Valerie is one of the most talented polymer clay artists I've seen & I highly recommend her lovely wares!" and "Stunningly Beautiful work. Excellent communication and fast shipping. Perfect Transaction. The jewellery created by this designer is lovely, elegant and whimsical. Thank you so much". Obviously Valerie is a very talented artist, and a wonderful person to deal with. Below are some of my favorite pieces from her shop. Make sure you stop in and see all she has to offer!

MeganJaneJewellery on ArtFire.com

MeganJaneJewellery on ArtFire.com creates some very lovely floral, pearl, and Swarovski crystal jewelry. Megan says "I'm Megan Jane Hunt, I'm 19 and from Nottingham. I am currently studying a degree in Broadcast Journalism at Nottingham Trent University, so jewellery making is something I do in my spare time! My course involves a lot of hard work at times, especially when I'm interviewing people for Radio/TV assessment packages, but since it's summer I have a lot of time off!
I currently live with my lovely boyfriend James, at my parents house, but we're planning to move out in the Autumn! :D It'll mean I'll have more space for my jewellery making, as right now I'm getting spare bits all over the bedroom!
I am new to selling jewellery, but I really enjoy making it and would love to share what I create with other people, who appreciate hand made jewellery just as much as I do." She may be new to selling her work, but this a very talented young lady. Her floral pieces are exquisite! You can find Megan online at http://seekmyscribbles.blogspot.com, Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter. Below are just a few of my personal favorites from her shop.

Pretty things of adornment from Baublezptoa

Baublezptoa on ArtFire.com creates beautiful jewelry from beads, gemstones, and precious metal clay. Her biography reads: "When I finished high school in Richmond, Va. and began taking accounting courses and working during the day, I used to walk around the block from where I worked to the only bead shop in town, and the only one in existence that I knew then. It was a hippie time of life and stringing beads for necklaces, bracelets and earrings to give to friends and family was just the thing, and I was enthralled with all of those beads!
Well the bead store closed, I no longer had a bead source and I really had to keep my head down with classes and work. Years later, on vacation I found another bead shop in Colorado. Oh Oh. but nothing serious happened until I left Corporate America to try a different approach to life.
So I learned about beads, and the history of them, trade beads, and what they meant, ancient beads and their values, vintage beads, and then gemstones and silver, then silversmithing, and more classes and lots of creativity, or so I thought until I discover Precious Metal Clay.
That is my medium of choice and I can still use beads and gemstones,! I have since gotten Precious Metal Clay Certification, and have many ruined blobs of silver behind me. It is one of the things I love to do, and it is an outlet for my desire to use my hands to create. And of course the positive feedback of someone wearing my creations is a marvelous reward."
