So tomorrow is my sister's birthday and she's had a rough year so I thought I'd so something really special for her. I made her a charm bracelet that features all of her six children, three of the human kind and three furry ones. I made three dog beads for each of her dogs and since I'm not very good at making humans out of polymer clay I only did one bead of her son in polymer clay because he's easily identifiable, for the other sons I did something different -- and I figure it is a charm bracelet so the more varying types of charms the better. Here's the bracelet with a short explanation:
Close up, I'll explain the main charms I made. The first charm from the left depicts her son, he was easy to do in polymer clay because he always has his hair pushed forward and in his eyes -- this must be something new, I'm not sure if it's only around our neighborhood or not, but it seems to be the hairstyle for the boys. The second one I made is her dog Edie, she's her oldest dog, a wonderful Golden Retriever. The third is a heart with her son's name on it, Mike. The fourth is her other dog, Payton named after Walter Payton (actually her son brought this dog home) which was a surprise to her, but she fell in love and kept him (kids). He is a Sheltie/Akita mix or at least that's what they told him he was :)
The entire bracelet
The next charm is a small photo frame with her son's picture. The next one is a G, which is her first initial and the last one I made was of her other Golden Retriever, Spud, the wonder dog! I added a couple of other clay hearts and various things. I hope she loves it. And BTW she never reads my blog, I don't even think she'd know how to find it if she wanted to, so I don't have to worry about ruining the surprise. Have a nice weekend everyone.
Another Christmas ornament --
Here is a sweet hand-sculpted Pugster encased in her very own snow globe. The Pug has been hand-sculpted from polymer clay. She wears a pink and green collar and sits in front of a large heart tile and pink and green feathers. There are small "snowflakes" scattered at her feet. The globe is sprinkled with tiny crystal "snow" and pink glass shards. The globe is topped with a pink organza bow and a large vintage crystal and hangs from green satin cord.
I need to take some lessons from this dog, he/she really knows how to salsa. This is just too cute! If it t plays too slowly you can also find it here on their website.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and I'm getting in the mood with my Christmas ornaments. I just love to make these little guys, they get me in the spirit so expect to see lots more until Christmas!
The Brussels Griffon is hand-sculpted from polymer clay and is holding a large green crystal ornament. She has a sprig of holly at her ear and sits on a red base in a silver cameo setting. The ornament hangs from green satin cord. Approximate size of the ornament is: 2-1/4" long (with satin cord 4-1/4" long) x 1-1/2" wide
This ornament is a sweet little Brussels Griffon and she is holding her very own ornament to put on the Christmas tree. She can't wait until the tree goes up so she can place her ornament in a very special spot -- right on one of the front branches.
Here's the start of my Christmas ornaments. I have hand-sculpted my little dogs and encased them in round globes along with various bits and pieces. This one is my first, my Yorkie Christmas ornament.
There are purple, green and blue feathers behind her and the globe is sprinkled with purple glass shards along with a few flakes of "snow" at the bottom. The globe has two purple ball charms at top of the neck along with a blue bow and hangs from lavender satin cord. These little balls are so hard to photograph though because of the glare; they are much cuter in person!
