Tutorial - Flower hair clip

I started working with clay in 2009-2010, and the first thing I made was flowers.
I still have the first flower I made, and its very special to me.
Today when I see it I smile and feel good, that how nicely I am handling clay, creating things in a way I have imagined. 
Sharing Image of my first flowers.
No one never teach me how to work with clay, its just practice, practice, practice.
and I created beautiful petals in my own way.
Its been a long time I shared this tutorial on my Facebook page.
Now I am posting regularly my bog, sharing it here with my readers as-well.

Bangle Bracelet collection

It was a random thought to make bangle for my daughter..
Something for her little hands, that she can wear on special Indian festivals and celebrations..
And I made my First bangle with clay embroidery.
Perfect for her tiny hands, and she loved it :) :)

After one successful attempt I made few more bangles in different sizes, and different techniques.










Few of my bangles are available on my Etsy shop,
where I have paired them with matching earrings -Like a complete jewelry set.
