Feeling blue with polymer clay

I thought I would share a couple of new creations with you. I have been working on my Mokume Gane technique and also combining fimo clay with the premo! range. The premo! clay is far easier to condition although I find I then have to put it in the freezer to avoid it from distorting [...]

Introducing the Saffron Range

For once some Bijoux amongst the Banter!

Lunes Bijoux - a new look!

How on earth we managed to open on time with everything just as I wanted it will remain a mystery! Andy, my husband, as usual had worked his socks off (and the rest) and with the extra hands from some friends on Friday afternoon I was able to hang my open sign out with pride [...]

Polymer sculptor takes your breath away!

The other day I shared my admiration of book binding with you. Today I am in awe of another artist and for once a fellow polymer clay buddy but someone in a totally different league to me. I just love the work of Helen Facenna, it’s bold, daring and amazingly artistic. I would love to [...]
