Fall Fun - Fall inspired Leaf Ring dish made with Polymer Clay

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.***

Final Leaf dish -

I hope you like this simple and decorative project.

Mad about Chocolates...

Good morning my dear lovelies..

Its December - The month of holidays, month of celebrations.. 

Lots of love and so many chocolates...

I am totally mad about chocolates, and I am sure there are so many like me " Mad about Chocolate"

"Giving chocolate to others is an intimate form of communication, a sharing of deep, dark secrets.." 

 (Milton Zelman, publisher of "Chocolate News" )

It was just a thought to crate something in the sweetest colors.. Combining some browns..

And this is what I made..

The second one has touch of turquoise. It was my first attempt putting them together, but these two colors works really well in every time.. 

Hope you like my work.. Don't forget to check more work updates on my "Facebook Page"

Orchid and Humming bird designs..

Happy Thanksgiving my dear lovelies..

Art bead scene's November challenge has a very interesting painting by Martin Johnson Heade,

Beautiful "Cattleya Orchid and Three Hummingbirds". Amazing color combination and a beautiful inspiration.

Being an artist I use my polymer clay as my canvas and colors to paint my version of the painting.

My orchid and humming bird pendent. I used polymer clay applique technique to achieve this pendent. For the background created a wood effect base and colored with pearl-ex powders, and then created polymer clay orchid and little humming bird.

Colors in the painting are just so beautiful, I thought not to miss any shade if the main colors, and so I created Ombre effect beads. 

And then I combined these two in a amazing necklace!!

My Orchid and humming bird necklace.

Another view..

My imaginations didn't stopped after making this stunning piece.

I created another necklace of Humming bird and Orchid..

This time a choker necklace.

A simple necklace were a bird is flying towards this flower.. I didn't add any color to this one and made like faux silver.. this way it has the simplicity and more uniqueness.

I hope you like my work inspired by ABS's November challenge.

Festive Embroidery Earrings

 Ohh, I am so in love with this cute earrings..

Gorgeous earrings, my new Festive collection..

Beautiful vibrant colors, stunning detailing, and most important they are so light weight.

Sharing my beautiful collection..

My entire collection is available on my Esty Shop.

Obsessed with the Clay embroidery technique..

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.

New obsession Polymer clay Embroidery / Applique technique.

Its a fact that making ethnic designs is my first love!

But I always work with other subjects, just for a new experiment and as a learning thing.

My previous obsession was my peacock cane, I made many beautiful pieces, and created my another whole collection. You just need something to inspire you..

I don't know what inspired me this time, but I am working on my polymer clay embroidery.

I an enjoying my work more while making these detailed pieces.

I started my journey of clay Embroidery with this customized necklace and earrings, and It turned out really well. 

And my next customized necklace was even gorgeous, with demand I made two version of it..

Both the designs with some neon Colors...

These days I am making beautiful earrings..

I have named this beautiful earrings - Kashmiri Embroidery earrings, it reminds me gorgeous thread work of Kashmir ( India)

These earrings I made for "Art Bead Scene'"s August challenge - "The Indian Rug".

It was fun making this beautiful pair with the color of the challenge's inspiration art work
