Just made a pendant, so happy


I am so happy with it. I was looking around at how to make these with perfection and finally got it. To make one of those, I created a polymer clay circle shape and stuck a pin into it. Next I printed the image on the T-shirt transfer paper to the matching size and then peeled it carefully off the paper. Next I used regular glue stick on the polyclay and carefully attached the image to the pendant.

Stuck it in the oven and with in the needed amount of minutes it was done.

Just joined Etsy for Animals group

This is Chichi on a button. She is an adopted pet, whose owner asked me to make custom buttons with the photo on them.
I just joined a group of sellers online who support animal shelters and charities. They are called Etsy for Animals, EFA. I decided to donate a portion of sales to a shelter to support the animals. This shelter http://www.nrochelleanimalshelter.org/ New Rochelle Humane Society. Online I met a member who works in the shelter and she asked for custom order of buttons of the dogs who are either there or were adopted. I don't make the buttons myself, but I do the art and send it off to another seller or two who do the buttons or mirrors for me.

I also just came up with a way to make magnets and one page calendars. In general, if you look at my shop online, you will see that I do print work and take custom orders. Here is my calendar

It is an image that I created a while ago and really love. I have others that I made and some that I was allowed to take from the animal shelter, take a look
