Its been 5 years, I have started working with polymer clay.
So far I have tried every techniques in Polymer clay, but I know there are tones of new things to learn.. Its never ending.. Working with clay is fun!!
After my peacock collection, I have found my new love these days..
"Polymer clay Applique / Embroidery technique.".
In one line - I am working with tiny clay balls, and creating unique designs with a needle tool..
Previously I have created few designs with this technique, but my recent Pintrest numbers encouraged me to create many more. My two earrings designs - Blue mango and Pink on Purple has been pinned more then 40 times.. And this little thing encouraged me to create more with the embroidery designs..
Talking about Embroidery technique, My most favorite detailing piece was made for my client.. I still love colors and detailing of that gorgeous necklace.. Gorgeousness with the neon colors. I am not a big fan of neon colors but when I put all of them together, they didn't look that bad! A fun Summer necklace..
In my next post I'll share my recent work - My embroidery designs.
If you are selling your products on-line, its pretty obvious that you have to take good pictures of your products, if you want to stay in the race.
Professional looking pictures are the key thing to attract many visitors and buyers.
If you can take a good, a decent looking, that explains your product more then your words.
Yes, you need a professional photo box / a light box / or a photo studio kit.
Most of the people has budget problem, and its a pretty obvious that many would not prefer to spend hundreds of dollars for those fancy kits.
To solve this problem I have found my own way, and after seeing above picture , my "Cherry blossom Zumka earrings" you will be surprised that I was able to take such a good picture without spending any extra penny!!
I have seen many light-box tutorial videos, indeed they are cheaper then Fancy kits, and has good functionality. But to make them you need a cardboard box, white- fabric / t-shirt and three external lamps..
But In my version of photo-box I have cut down cost of white fabric / t-shirt and external lamps..
I made my photo-box with recycle box, parchment paper from my kitchen, scotch tape.
And for back-ground I used regular printer paper.
My version of light-box works best in day-light so don't need any external / extra lights.
So the final cost comes to Zero. A very useful product made with regular household things.
I have made video that explains all the steps how to make this photo-box.
Hope this tutorial will help you to take good pictures of your jewelry and other product.

I am getting excellence in my polymer clay cane technique.
I have started with flower petal cane and I am still making same, Flower petal canes.
Summer is here and I am visiting many beautiful places, what inspired me? I don't know but a random thought ( Like always ) created such cute earrings.. (listed at my SHOP )

First I made Sakura and Buddha earrings as Sakura / Cherry blossom trees has deep connections with Buddhism. In Japan, cherry blossoms symbolize the transience of life, which is a major theme in Buddhism. The cherry-blossom tree is known for its short but brilliant blooming season, a natural process that metaphorically describes human life.
But after a success-full attempt I added Buddha to few more flowers and here theyare
