Autumn, the season of Colors, and the season takes leaves from the trees..

Today I have combined both fall colors and leaves in my this project. Such a fun and awesome decor for the beautiful season. I have made this cute Leaf shaped Ring dish but this dish can be used in many ways! Creativity is endless.

DIY - Leaf Ring Dish

Materials and tools

Polymer Clay  - Preferred in Dark Color

Leaf - Larger the batter, Hurry before they all gone

Polymer clay Roller

Craft knife

Pearl-ex pigment - I am using Antique Gold

A good work surface - Flat and scratch proof, Gosh.. we are using knife here..

A small bowl - must be Oven safe

Over - For baking

All set??? So.. Lets begin..

Step 1

Roll the clay, it should bigger than the leaf's size, also I would recommend it thicker than usual.

Step 2

Place leaf and roll once again, with little pressure. We want leave's impression on the clay.

Step 3

Carefully remove leaf. Now its time for color. you can involve kids in this process too.. Take pearl-ex and cover entire leaf with it.. 

Step 4

 Now carefully remove extra clay using craft knife.

The final leaf, gorgeous piece of art!! ready to be shaped..

Step 5

Take leaf from the surface and place it on the up-side down bowl. I have used my clay knife to carefully lift it from the surface.

Step 6

Take the bowl as- it -is and put it in oven for baking. Bake accordingly to the direction written on the clay package. And your leaf bowl is ready!!!!

**** I was not happy with my this white bowl, as I wanted a shallow Dish, so I used a different one. You can also make some adjustments as per your requirements.***

Cute Flower Earrings.

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 )

See your self..

Then for a variation I added Buddha face bead to this earrings, as I have seen many images of Buddha and flowers, and they became the style statement.. Just lovely..

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
