Death

Welcome to a Monday Meander through ArtFire. I requested a keyword search from my 10 year old son, and 'Death' was his response. This may be due to his current obsession with Harry Potter and death curses, however it did return a lot of results on ArtFire... so let's go look....

In Her Element

It is time for another Polymer Clay Smooshers blogring post, this week featuring the amazingly talented Valerie of Emily Claire Creations.
Every time I stop by Emily Claire Creations on ArtFire I am in awe of the wonderful pieces that Valerie creates out of polymer clay. In fact if it wasnt for the descriptions a lot of the time you would not know they were polymer clay. Valerie is especially good at faux metals and faux ceramic looks, and she creates gorgeous pieces of jewellery with her polymer clay creations.
Added to this huge amount of talent is the fact that Valerie is a lovely person who joins in Smoosher's events with gusto and happily promotes other talented artisans.
You can drool look over Valerie's creations for yourself at Emily Claire Creations on ArtFire and also read her great blog, In My Room.

Baublezptoa is on ArtFire and Zibbet, and Carmen has two stores on Etsy, one focusing on her work with Precious Metal Clay, the other featuring her other jewellery creations.
Carmen also has a great blog with lots of great posts.

Dawn of Creation.

I am a little late this week with my Polymer Clay Smoosher's Blogring featured Smoosher, but I am finally here. This week I get to feature IntoTheDawn aka DawnMarie.


I'm not sure when I first started talking to DawnMarie, probably on Plurk, probably after being introduced by Coltpixy (my Plurk enabler :P). I do know she has been a wonderful part of the Polymer Clay Smooshers for a long time.


DawnMarie has a wonderful way with polymer clay, it seems to love being manipulated by her and as a result she creates some wonderful pieces. My favourites would definitely be her Spirit boxes and her dimensional pieces.
She loves to support other handmade artisans and often promotes them on her blog, as well as showing her WIPs and glimpses into her happy home.


Drop in to IntoTheDawn on ArtFire and on Blogspot and see her wonderful creativity for yourself.
