Upmarket Preparations

Just wanted to show everyone some of the pieces I'm preparing for Perth Upmarket! Can't believe there is less than one week left >_<


So this past week I've been crazily creating and Upmarket will be the 'launch' of my newest range of jewelry! I have used some beautiful corked glass bottle charms, filled with tiny hand-sculpted polymer clay scenes. Each bottle has its own theme and comes strung on a silver necklace ^^

'Snowy Rabbit' is my first bottle charm creation! It features a pine tree, with a teensy bunny, surrounded by glittery snow.


'Garden' is the theme for this bottle charm, with a tiny handmade potplant and spade/trowel (is that the American term?). This would have to be my favourite ^^



A variation on 'Garden', this little bud is 'In Bloom', after hard work in the garden of course!



A simple 'Love Letter' surrounded by tiny polymer clay hearts for that special someone!



Do you like to play 'Mind Games'? Or just challenge yourself with a miniature polymer clay verson of ring toss? ^^





This simple piece draws attention to the tiny star hanging within the corked bottle and is enough to bring a 'Twinkle' to your day! Pink and white stars are available, with more colors to come!!

I am unsure how many of each piece I can produce for Perth Upmarket, so I wanted to be sure everyone could take a look and I hope to get some feedback about what you would like to see ^^

My Messy Workspace



How gross is my workspace, hey? sOoo messy lol :p not sure if you can see the packet of liquorice bullets there.. for some sugary inspiration of course, don't we all need a sugar rush now and then?

So basically.. here is where i craft, use the computer and watch tv... All from one seat! (i'm also incredibly lazy ^^ ) im also working on some button and poly-clay rings which will be fairly cheap, and are quite easy to make. I love these little butterfly buttons, but couldn't think of what to make with them! I hope these will help to fill up my stall a bit.. quite worried it will be empty >_<
Anyways, spending my Friday night at home tonight.. so heres hoping i can get all of those tiny things you see on the baking paper (un-painted kokeshi doll earrings) painted so they can be glazed tomorrow!

My First Post ^^

It's my first post!! I've actually created this account at work and I'm posting from work too >_<

Im totally freaking out about Upmarket.. Don't think I really have enough stock yet.. Will be taking photos of my workspace tonight so you can all see how messy and gross it is while I'm panicking about creating more stock :p I am highly disorganised.. Fortunately, Lotta has been sOoOo kind and let me raid her house for display props! I've taken a serving dish, some busts, a hand (ring display), and a wierd-looking display that looks like about 20 glass science lab round beakers stuck together.. hopefully that will be easier to understand once I've put pictures up after the market heehee ^^
