Polymer Clay ATC

I am doing a ATC swap with my guild Mile High Polymer Clay Guild so I wanted to share what I have made....

My first set here was made with photo morphing (I am really into that right now) and doing a clay transfer then topping it off with resin.

The sides vary from double sided tape and micro beads to embossing powder and one with leaf foil (but that turned out to be a pain in the ---. I personally really enjoyed the embossing powder for it was the easiest and turned out the best :)

THANKS for looking and I will post the rest of them soon........

Computer play......

I have been having so much fun getting college art from sellers on etsy and then morphing them together.....

I am planning on turning this one into a ACEO and jewelry. Currently I am trying to figure out resin and have but having a fun and frustrating time. I looks wonderful, but I want something different with my new style (not just the square we are all use to). So I will keep you informed on my progress with this.......FUN!!

This one is a morph between art work from http://www.artvision.etsy.com/ and http://www.madart.etsy.com/ PLEASE go and check them out!

Tree Sap Massage Candle (not real tree sap)

Well I am really starting something new that I am really excited about..........

I am making ALL NATURAL Tree Sap Massage Candles, what is that you ask???

It is a massage candle that is ALL NATURAL hand harvested from the trees that grow in the Elemental Forrest.

These candles are made to melt at such a low tempature that once a puddle has formed you blow out the flame and use the "tree sap" puddle to rub into....well any where that needs a little TLC (back rubs, elbows, feet, full body rub downs, cuticles, anywhere).

I have many different scents to choice from so PLEASE head over to etsy or artfire and check them out!! If you mention that you read about it here than I will give you a offer of BOGO 50% off the second one.

What a GREAT treat for you or anyone else!!!

BogFrog

Well I was taking a walk in the Elemental Forrest when I heard the strangest sound coming from a small bog just under a huge twisty bog tree and there they were the funniest little critters, kinda a mix of a frog and well I don't know what else. The sound they make is like a low blurb that drags on and on......

I don't know much more about them right now, but I can't wait to get to know them better :)

Not more Tweerbs......

I will start off by saying that I will no longer keep ElementalForrest on etsy running.....all the critters will be moving back to the Forrest with the Dragons at http://www.elementaldragons.etsy.com/

It was to hard to keep two store going and nobody was going to the new one, I have such a great following on my Dragons site that I figured it was all the better :)

As for the Tweerbs:

I have been having so much fun making this funny (OK stupidish) looking critters that I have two more coming. The scary thing is that I think they have been talking

and then they both turned and ran away as fast as a Tweerb can move......I caught it all with photos.....

Go Tweerb Go!!!

Tweerbs.....

These little critters are one of my favorites....
They have such a dopey look to them that I can't help but laugh every time I make one (I know that bad of me).

Look at my dog, GOZER, and you will know that is the kind of things I like!!

HE HE HE!!!!

Coope of the Earth Clan

Coope is a experimental little fella......

WHY??

I started out in my normal fashion of making my dragons (which you can purchase the PDF's on How to make your own on ETSY and Artfire - my plug :) OK back to Coope......I purchase this fuzzy stuff called Fleck sometime back and really didn't know what I was going to do with it, so I mixed quite a bit into the clay, with the idea (in my head) that a kinda fuzzy dragon would be born. Well the fleck seemed to just disappeared into the clay, so I figured I would rub some on this little dragons back and try to make it stick to his "skin" to make a fuzzy dragon - nope! All this did was make it so NO other clay would stick to he, in turn little Coope here has NO scales (Sorry). I baked him as is and then decided this might be a good time to try out this new metal paint I got from http://www.polyclayplay.com/ and decorate him with that and this is what turned out.....

He has found some kind of seed pod to hold! I am still not sure what I am going to do with the fleck, but this turned out to be a lesson in what not to do :)

A little Dragon Family :)

Coope has not been officially listed yet, but I think I will put him on Artfire!

THANKS for reading and feed back is ALWAYS welcome!!

Re-listed Dragons NEEDING HOMES!!!

I have had to re-list 3 of my dragons on etsy this weekend so I figured I would use this opportunity to plead their cases.......

First is Knitcell of the Sky Clan

He is an original Elemental dragon and is unusual for I really don't make many dark colored dragons (people don't seem to like them as much) so poor little Knittcell is just sitting around with a sad look on his face waiting for a home.....

Second is Tussle of the Gems Clan

She is also one of the original Dragons. I am very surprised that she is still with me. She is a lovely purple swirled color and as one of my favorite set of wings (my favorite colors - a purplish/blueish hue). Tussle does have a "grumpy" look to her face but I think she would loosen up once she finds a home :)

Last but not least is Dudlee of the Earth Clan.....OH Dudlee he has such a sweet dorky look to his face. He is made of very earthy colors and he likes to hide and blend in to his surrounding........I have lost him a few times, but he is such a loving dragon he also comes home for some loveies.....

Well that is my case for these three, hopefully someone out there will open up their home to a sweet little dragon :) and if you purchase one of these dragons and mention that you read this blog in the notes I will refund you 25% off the purchase price.......

I have many new faces and played alot with the alcohol inks in the last couple of days so that will probably be my next blog hope you tune in and follow my findings!!

The Seven Clans

Forrest Clan
They are known to be laid back but territorial of their Forrest. They have developed a game like tag, which they enjoy playing alot. When not playing they will sit in the trees and just watch everything else that is going on around them.

Water Clan
They are known to be playful and very intelligent although they like to pull pranks on the other clans. The Water Clan loves to play with all of the other clans although the Fire Clan does not like them much. Ironically most of the Water Clan can't swim very well.

Earth Clan
They are known to be a wise, kind and caring clan. Earth Dragons will do anything to help any other creature. They are one of the oldest clans and have the name "The Healers".

Fire Clan
They are known as the "Bad Boys" of the clans. Fire Clan likes to push the limits and does not like to take advice from any other dragons. They are known trouble makers.

Sky Clan
They are known to have a in-charge personality and have been labeled as snobbish. They like to float around with an "I don't care" attitude. They do seem to be a kind clan when needed, although they tend to only hang out with other Sky Clan.

Celestial Clan
They are a very majestic clan and they are the oldest clan known. They are said to have mystical powers. The Celestial Clan are mentors to all other clans but they have trouble with the Fire Clan.

Gems Clan
Not much is known about them for they are a mysterious and shy clan. They will hide from any who come near, although they seem to be very friendly. There is a myth that anyone that comes upon one will be granted the "Luck of the Dragon"

Elemental Buddies

Elemental Buddies are little creatures that live within the Forrest with the Dragons. Sometimes they are what we would consider as normal animals (such as turtle, lizards, birds, etc.) and sometimes they are exotic and unusual creatures. They all have their own story and they are all still Elemental!!

**What ELSE lives in the forrest???

**PEBBLEONIANs...They are the "listeners" of the Elemental Forrest. Only the best of the best little pebbles are choosen to grow into a Pebbleonian. They live along the mountain range on the edge of the Forrest, and it is said that when any Elemental Forrest critters needs a friend just to listen to them, they would travel to the Pebbleonians. They are old (in human terms) and very wise, but they don't have much to say, they just listen.

**CHERPELLs...A small bird like critter with a very long feather tail (at least it is long for their body size). They have a small golden pad like foot that they can hop with.

**TROLLGONs...Trollish dragonish like critters that enjoy just curling around a tree (although they do OK in the cages also) and just watching what you are doing.

**SNETTLEs...Very small snail like creatures, who make very good pets (for children and adults - great at work). They are easy to care for a little food, water and love and they are good to go. They very much just want a home.

**BOOBALINGs...Small crab like critters that enjoy crawling around, they do need to be caged or you may never see them again. Very curious little ones.

**TRUPHELLs....These exotic little creatures boing about the forrest floor following their snout in search of delicious morsels. They don't seem to be the smartest or most graceful of critters, but they are very amusing to sit around and watch.

**TWEERBs....These happy little turtle like creatures are slow moving, kinda clumsy critters. Who like to hang out in groups for they are very social.Tweerbs make great friends with any other Elemental Buddies.

**MUD HEADs... is the original dwellers of the forrest. They were stumbled upon not to long ago, so not much is known about the tribe. Information will be giving as it is discovered.

Elemental Dragons Story

I created the idea of Elemental Dragons about 13 years ago, with my daughter Cortney. At the time I had no idea that I would be making Polymer Clay Dragons that would bring the story of the Elemental Dragons to life.
I have been working and experimenting with Polymer Clay for about 14 years now, and I have found it to be a wonderful media. It can be any color and any shape you want with the ability to forgive almost any mistake you can come up with, nothing is permanent until it is baked. Warning if you try it, you might get hooked.
I am currently involved with the Mile High Polymer Clay Guild, PCAGOE (Polymer Clay Artist Guild on ETSY), and FAE-etsy. I would like to give credit to a wonderful artist Christi Friesen at www.CForiginals.com and Maureen Carlson at www.maureencarlson.com for some of my ideas for my creations.I welcome any comments or suggestions that you may have for my Dragons....I love to learn from what people think about my work be it good or bad.
