New Charm Update

Hey everyone!

Today I have a new polymer clay charm update to show you!

I uploaded this last Sunday to my Youtube channel, so here it is :)

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! ^^

Hope you enjoy!

Charm Update #8

Hi everyone!

I have another charm update to show you today :)

Online Store Review - Con A de Arte

Hello!

Welcome to the first post on my FoxieCrafts blog!

This one is going to be a review of a store I received a package from this week.

I found this store a couple of weeks ago, when I was looking for European online stores that sold polymer clay and shipped to Portugal at a reasonable cost.

The store is located in Spain, and they do have a physical space. Their website is available in English as well, which is quite helpful to anyone who might not understand Spanish that well.

Here is what I ordered:

These were things I really missed while working with polymer clay, especially the liquid Fimo! Others were indulgences (Premo Opal and PearlEx), and hopefully if I work well with them, I will make some cool stuff to sell on my Etsy!

Everything was inside a little box, and well packaged! And it was sent by courier, so it only took two days to get here!

On top of all the awesomeness, they sent me some candy :3

I was super happy with this purchase, and I will definitely be ordering from them again, since everything went smoothly.

Here is their business card, which is pretty cool:

I intend to review a couple of the things I bought, more specifically the Premo Opal clay and the PearlEx powder, because I know a lot of people are curious about them. I will also review the Cernit clay, since this is my first block of the brand.
