I've been interested in working with PMC for a while now, but haven't had the time (oh for endless holidays!). Knighttimedesigns uses PMC to create leaf pendants, to great effect:


These are made by placing real leaves in the PMC and firing it so that the leaf burns away, leaving the imprint in the clay. Knighttimedesigns creates other types of jewellery as well.


She lives in Killarney, Ireland and has been making jewellery for 12 years now. Lovely items in her shop.

I'm going through a colour phase at the moment. Maybe next week I'll hit a monochrome streak, but for now, I want bright, pretty, vivid colours. GlassGlam sells postage stamp necklaces that fit the bill:


GlassGlam has several other items in her shop that made me go "ooh!". I like the stamps, though. I don't get to see a lot of pretty stamps nowadays, what with everything being emailed. So thank you, GlassGlam (her real name is Dionea), for making me consider the little stamp again.

When I come across old birthday or greeting cards during spring cleaning, I always feel a pang about throwing them away. But I throw them out, because I have seen what happens when you don't - you get featured in a tv show about the dirtiest homes in the country and end up on Oprah explaining you never meant to let things get that bad. Jrehnke creates greeting cards with a gift included, so that you can throw away the card, but keep the gift. Here is one of her cards, next to the necklace included:

The card is an original watercolour and comes with a red envelope. The necklace is acrylic on canvas. Here is another one that I really liked:


I liked this cherry necklace, too (it doesn't come with a card) :

She also makes other jewellery items that are worth a look.

Leave a comment if you have a great idea for using greeting cards in a useful way. Displaying them on the mantelpiece doesn't count!

Mops66 on Etsy

Mops66 has an adorable Etsy shop where she sells "Mini-Mops" - miniature food jewellery. She accepts custom orders as well, for those who don't fancy a slice of mini-pizza around their necks. Here is one of her creations, a scrumptious looking donut:


Mops66 is located in Paris, which immediately makes her more charming, as I'm studying French at university. According to her profile, she is an interior designer who got the idea for her Mini-Mops from her teenagers, who are obviously brilliant. Just look at this macaron!

I know, these deceptive clay goodies are pure evil. If I ever got my hands on this next one, I admit I would be guilty of licking polymer clay. Just to check. Because it looks so good:


That's her clay version of a French "religieuse", click here for a real version.

I enjoyed browsing and drooling at her creations. Go check out the rest of the goodies in her Etsy shop.
