Sorry I am a day late with this post. The orders for the Helen Breil Silk Screens overwhelmed me just a bit. 🙂 I am going to be very bust this weekend.
This weeks artist makes the most amazing boxes I have ever seen ! Her name is Fiona Abel-Smith and I am in awe. They are entirely polymer clay ! !
Look at the details involved. Stunning ! Absolutely stunning !
Even the inside is finished with mokume gane. WOW!
Here is a picture of just the lid to one of her boxes. I can not even imagine how many hours of work this took to complete just the lid.
Oh, and Fiona makes dragons and jewelry too. 🙂
You can see more of Fiona’s work in her Flickr Gallery.

Wandering around Facebook I noticed one of my Friends had shared a link to one of their Friends. The link took me to a blog called Polymer Clay Shed. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t seen this blog yet, because I was definitely missing out.
The artists name is Carola Greiser and she goes by CraftsByCag. She’s a member of PCAGOE (Polymer Clay Artist Guild of Etsy). Carola has one Etsy shop for her jewelry , which has some amazing bead for sale and a second shop for her other items, like crochet hooks and pens. But what I really want to share with you all is Carola’s cane work. It is nothing short of stunning !!!! I sooooooo want the 2 purple background one in the first picture 🙂
That is just a tiny fraction of the cane work you can see in Carola’s Flickr Photo Gallery. Enjoy and try not to drool 😉

Just spotted over at Naama’s blog that Idit Zoota discovered a fabulous way to be able to reduce your canes and still have them without a background. She used Play Dough to outline the design before she packed the cane to make it round.
Check it out at Naama’s Blog
