Red Mexican Clay Oil Diffusers

I am now creating adorable Red Mexican Clay Oil Diffusers just in time for Mothers day and Easter. These little beauties work by pouring scented oil inside them and placing the cork on top. The oil then soaks into the raw clay and the scent is then dispursed into the air. I have 3 design's created so far and I am coming up with new one's all the time. I already have several order's for Mothers day and I'm getting ready to make some adorable Oil Diffusers for Easter. Let me know what you think.

Sterling Silver


I am trying my hand at making Sterling Silver Jewelry. My wonderful son Brandon purchased me a Precious Metal Clay (PMC3) Kit. The kit comes with silver clay, tools and a hot pot. I made my first Silver Ring today YAY! It was fun but a bit nerve wracking. Fun playing with the clay and knowing that it was going to turn into beautiful silver when I was done, but nerve wracking because they say the clay dries really fast so you can't mess with it for very long. Well they were right! I almost messed with it too long. I could feel it drying while I was working with it. Thankfully I managed to make a pretty silver band. I scratched my name in the band because I thought it would look cool, but it really didn't, so you can't see my name in the pic, it's on the other side. I see it as all trial and error, I want to become really good with this stuff so I can sell it to everyone. But for now I'm still a little shell shocked and nervous about making another one, I mean after all this clay is pretty expensive, I really don't want to mess it up and have a big silver glob of nothing.  So what I think I'm going to do is order the spray they sell to keep the clay moist. And I think I'll buy the silver clay paste or syring they sell so I can make things to attach to the jewelry, like silver flowers, leaves and such. Things to make my jewelry a little ornate. I can't wait to get really good with this stuff because I am sooooo excited about adding silver jewelry to my store on Etsy. I hope you all visit, say hi and maybe purchased something that I've poured lots of love, sweet and tears on. And stay posted....I will post my progress with PMC!

Finally!

I think I may have fixed my computer problem YAY!. Nothing seems more frustrating. Well I do want to let everybody know that I have been working on something very unique. It's called Poly-Fabulous. I have been experimenting with differnet mediums and am making purses and eyeglass holders out of a mix polymer glay and fabric. Shockingly enough it's fabulous! It looks like marble but feels like leather! I am currently selling them on etsy. Look to the right of this article and pick on the picture. You can visit my new store.
