Halloween Charms!

Hey guys!

Today I have a Halloween post for you 

I have never been into Halloween, but I've gotten fonder of it ever since I joined the polymer clay community.

So this year, I made a few charms to celebrate the occasion ^^

Rilakkuma Planner for 2017

Hi everyone!

I have a new video to show you! It's the 'unboxing' of my new planner for 2017! I also flip through the entire planner, so you guys can see what it's really like on the inside!

I decided show it all, because while searching on YouTube for videos of these planners, I only found a couple of videos from a channel that I'm subscribed to, so I really wanted to make one that was more detailed.

So, last year I found out that these super duper kawaii planners exist, but the ones I found at the time were a bit too expensive for me, but this year I decided to go look for them again, and found a few that had a very nice price.

I got mine on Ebay, although this seller also has their own website [www.acuteshop.com].

Here is the video. Hope you enjoy!

Trying Out Translucent Orange Clay

Hey guys!

I'm trying to get more posts going on this blog, so I want to start posting (about) my charms, instead of just posting whenever there's a new video on my YouTube channel.

So today's post is about the new block of Fimo translucent orange clay that I got at a local craft store. I had gone into the store to see if they had any new colors stocked, but the lady said the only thing she had were the few colors on the display, so I took a chance and came home with just this one block of clay.

I love the translucent effect on polymer clay, although it's a little tricky to get it baked just right. This might just be from the Fimo brand, but since I have only also tried the Opal from Premo (the base is translucent white), I can't really say that that's the reason for sure.

Anyway, I got home with my new color, and started wondering what to make, since I think it's a bit of a tricky color, and orange is also my least favorite color, so I tend to avoid it somewhat.

I asked for suggestions on my Instagram account and here are the charms I made.

All of these were new for me, except for the drink charm, since I had made one in green a few months ago. 

In the pumpkin and the turtle's shell, I mixed orange and a tiny bit of pink glitter, which doesn't come across so much in the photos, but in person looks really pretty.

The snow 'cone' was probably the one that took the longest, because I had to almost put every little micro bead individually on top of the clay.

But the one I'm most proud of is definitely the turtle. I usually stay very far away from making animals, because I don't think I'm any good at them, but I love how this turtle turned out so much!

I hope you enjoyed this post, even if just for the photos! ^^

New Video - Watch Me Decoden

Hey guys!

New video today! It's another Watch Me Craft, but this time it's of me making my decoden phone case for my new phone :)

I love the colors and how it turned out.

I got the pearls and cabochons as a set from Candy Crystal, which is an awesome website full of stuff like this ^^

Hope you enjoy!
