Roses are Red

I’ve been eyeing this set of ladies accessories in the magazine about bead jewelries/accessories I bought a year ago. I just love its sophisticated design. I was looking in the craft store in our area and in the city for the bead rose but to my dismayed it’s not available.

So when I discovered polymer clay, first thing that crossed in my mind was to make a bead rose. With the help of video tutorial from youtube, I was able to make my own roses. Actually it’s easy but I have problem with conditioning the clay. I think it’s getting harder because it’s already expose. I’m using the Makin’s Air Dry Clay…. Anyway this is a sort of practice. Later when I will get this seriously, I mean into clay business, then I will use the polymer clay used by the professional clay artist.

Clay Extruder

Verity, owner of Clay Corner, is selling her tools and other craft materials because she’s leaving the country for good. If I only have money then I would probably buy all the items. Some are used but I know her stuffs are properly kept and taken care of as what she said in her multiply account.

I bought her used clay extruder for Php 1, 150 and saved Php 150. The brand new prize of it is around Php 1,300.

I got the order today. And I’m so excited to use it. My clays are still intact in its plastic bags since I have no tools to shape it. I don’t want to waste a single gram of it because it’s quiet expensive. But I know since it’s my first time to do clay arts it’s expected that I will have scraps. Hopefully, I can still reuse the scraps…..

And hopefully I’ll have more than enough money so that I can still buy the sale items of verity.

P.S. Check her tools you may find it interesting for your crafting. Visit her multiply account.
