Now I am working on more, in polymer clay. Here are my first experiments! I found a cool tutorial on Pinterest to help me in shaping. In fact there are loads of polymer clay tutorials on Pinterest that I am dying to try out...1 day at a time ;)
Not bad for a first attempt, although I got a bit heavy handed on the gilder's paste! These just need to be sealed and then they will be headed to my etsy shop!
I know from polling my AJE team mates when I was starting my fluttery heart creation that not everyone likes pink and red hearts, hence my use of blue, gray, white, purple and more... But I still love the tradtional colors as well! Here are some of my favorites by my friends here at AJE!
I borrowed this from Jen Cameron's FB page as I fell in love with them...get them listed, Jen! |
What about you? Do you "heart" hearts?

I do find myself doing hearts a lot, mostly because they are easy to cut out (particularly for someone like me who can't draw!) and they are already such a strong symbol, that just adorning them with a pattern or even just a color is enough to create an interesting focal or charm.
ReplyDeleteI like hearts because they can be used year round. You've got some great examples up there!
