Béabullesque, first step

Here is an overview of what is happening in my home... It is rather nice from afar butclosely we see many irregularities. It was my first "béabullesque" and I was in a hurry. Plus I roll soft silicone that attracts dust and glue it in the clay... I hope that after sanding it will get better.

"Béabullesque", What a strange name could you say ! This is because I used the idea of ​​Béabul. Except that I have done a single gradient, and I added streamers. Go take a look at the tutorial, if you're curious.





I had a mounting in mind before starting. But now that I see the plate, I think it exudes a sweetness that I'm afraid to break. I do not know yet how to cut. You will still have to wait a bit to see the final result.

Equipment side

Recently it was my birthday, and on this occasion ... I got sick.

So sick => mouse is stuck in it, but in poor condition and can do almost anything. Inspiration side is nothingness, precision side is not terrible either. After a few days driving around my hole, I eventually wanted to try to make my own cutter house. I had seen several tutorials on the net based on soda cans or aluminum trays.

So here's what I did :


And as it was my birthday anyway, I had some gifts.

My stepmother (Sicilian) offered me his pasta machine "Imperia". The crank is stuck because it's not the real one, but it runs. I feel that it will change my life!



And my mother offered me a Makin's extruder, which has a thread size. This is great. Before I had a syringe extruder, I tried once, got busted hand and I gave up.

So nice  !!
So awfull !!

Tutorial : Mounting wire cable

Here is my first tutorial, at the request of someone on a french forum.

It explains how to use crimp beads.
Personally I do not use protective wire cable at the clasp and I've never had a problem so far. I have not used either the pearl cache, but I think it still ends up better necklace. This gives a neater appearance.

Likeness of a friend

Here is a new friend for the breton couple.

There's progress now, compared to my previous two characters. It is thinner. But I struggled to do hair for all polymer clay and back in a bun.

The glasses are wire (copper clad I think).

A few canes

Comme je ne produis plus rien en ce moment, voici des canes de pâte fimo en attente d'inpiration.


First a pad cat cane, because it was easy to make...




A flower cane, inspired by poppies, and a few beads. Don't look at the defects of sanding!

 





And to finish, here is a veeeery little flower cane, made very fast to explain the principle to someone. And finally, I do like it.





Sorry for tue pictures quality, the weather is so bad for now. I was tired waiting for the sun.
I hope it will be better next time.

Photo frame

Hye !

Here I am again after well appreciated holidays. I have no novelties thus to present, on the other hand I found a photo of a frame which I had made one year ago for the birth of a little girl.
It is thus my second or the third creation in polymer clay, little after the mouse which I presented you in my first comment.
The sky is painted with acrylic.

Shhh... This is a gift.

Finally ! I can post this picture of this finery I made for someone's birthday. Now she is far away from any connection to the network, I can share !

To avoid the same problem than las time (melted face on contact with pyrex), I tried to put some flour under the polymer clay while baking. It works.

Pérou punchies

To make those earrings, I got a problem. I've baked them on Pyrex and one face has melted a little in the contact of it.

Second error (as a beginner) : I forgot the orange was transparent...

Breton Couple (french)

The Bretagne is were I'm from by my father. I miss it sometimes. So I can wear this as an homage when I'm too nostalgic. This is such a cliché, but I like it.

I showed you heads las time, here is my way of using them.

The lost phial's mystery

Some time ago I bought a pair of earrings in a shop of jewel. I tore. It was about two small phials filled with slices of kiwi in polymer clay.
At home, I emptied a phial, decanted a part of its contents in the other phial and I tidied up the rest.
I've made plenty of candies to fill the empty phial (and I made a donut too, no reason, just to see).
I so obtained this pair of earrings so sweety.

But the problem is, a beautiful spring day, by removing my shoulder bag, I hung on the kiwi earring. I found myself with a small tooth dangling in the ear, and on all fours in a park to find the missing part. I looked for a long time.

RIP little earring.

Painted wood earrings

Those earrings are made about painted wood.
Inspired by a pair of earrings from my mother's I took a lot ah a teenager. She can wear it as often that she wants now !! ^^


Necklaces in pearls

I like simple and airy jewels. Here are two exemples of easy making necklaces, if you've found pearls you enjoy.



My very first creation in polymer clay

Hello !

Here comes the time to post my first message. What could be more logical than to present you my first fiddling in polymer clay?

This a mouse, because i like them so much ! And i've choosen to be represented by one i love draw.
She is a little dented, but for the first one, it could be worse !
