gear shift

so i took a break from the craft to get back into painting. (when i say "break", i mean only 50% of my time is spent making jewelry for the next few days instead of 95% of my time).

i have been missing the bay area so i am paying hommage in a sense with this new work. there is more to it that just what you see but you will have to wait til it's done...

here is a sneak peek.

a few hours later

nail art: wild

i couldn't sleep last night so instead of just laying in bed, i decided to do my nails. i know, so much more productive.

i went back to the animal kingdom for some inspiration.

Etsy: Toast Time!

i wasn't kidding when i said i spent all weekend making jewelry for unicorn crafts!

i ordered a mold from a fellow etsy seller and went to town! again working with polymer clay i was able to make some adorable little toast friends (and give them some adorable toast friends too!).

Etsy: Smiley Teeth Collection

this weekend has been pretty productive with lots of new teeth making their way into unicorn crafts' etsy shop!

polymer clay is a super fun and easy way to make jewelry. but it does take a steady hand to do the paint job on these little guys. make sure you've got your magnifying glass at the ready!

Etsy: New Jewelry

i have been working with polymer clay to make some new additions to my etsy shop. 

a friend of mine is on her way to being a DMD, doctor of dental medicine, and she said it would be cute if i made dental-ish jewelry. thus the cute teeth. these will become earrings and rings once i attach the posts.

the mustache is just funny, especially handlebar mustaches. no?

these are all meticulously hand-sculpted but i just ordered some molds that are on their way and can't wait to make some more fun jewelry!

nail art: leopard

Etsy: Mini Domino Magnets...Circus Edition!

oh canada!

just got back from a trip to calgary, canada. it was a bitter sweet trip but all in all was a good time. i have some of the best cousins in the world! good times in the snow but even better times will be had in the sunshine!

Etsy: Mini Domino Magnets Are Here!

mini domino magnets are now available at my etsy shop. they are as cute as the regular sized domino magnets only bite sized.

they make the perfect stocking stuffer this holiday session. use it for any fridge, locker or just about anything.

all dominoes have a mighty strong magnet attached on the reverse side so no worries about if this little guy will do its job.

head on over to etsy today through december 15th to receive free gift wrapping and a blank holiday card.
 

Nail Art: Swan Eggs

when i was younger my mum used to tell me the weird half circle at the bottom of my nail was a swan egg. i believed it even though i had no idea how that could be possible. but alas, i pay tribute to my mum confusing me with today's nail art.
