Rosebud Sleeping Fairy Baby in Polymer Clay

March 9, 2015 by MagicByLeah 8 Comments

Rosebud Sleeping Fairy Baby in Polymer Clay

I have a confession to make. Despite a promise to myself to work less and sculpt more, I found myself working too hard the past few weeks. And wouldn’t you know it, I got sick. I guess a simple cold is better than something long-term, especially since it served as a reminder to me. Work […]

Funky Geometric Polymer Clay Jewelry Pendants and Earrings

Funky Geometric Polymer Clay Jewelry Pendants and Earrings

Following my Mokume Gane Experiments video I received many questions asking how I create my funky geometric jewelry pieces with a dark ‘border’ around each one. Instead of trying to explain, I recorded a video demonstrating the process from start to finish. I challenge YOU to run your own experiments. And be sure to tag […]

Experimenting with Mokume Gane Effects in Polymer Clay Video

My mokume gane addiction continues… I made a number of jewelry pieces with the mokume gane created in my last tutorial video. As I cut and shaped I noticed that I really liked some of the patterns that showed up. But their appearance seemed rather random. So in this video I set out to experiment with […]

Micro Miniature Polymer Clay Cardinals with Birdhouse in Winter Snow

To keep myself motivated this year I hope to enter at least one polymer clay challenge or contest each month. I entered 2 in January (can’t share the second one till voting is over). It’s not about winning because I’m competing with amazing pro sculptors. Instead it’s about thinking outside the box and coming up […]

Baby Head Sculpting Practice

Baby Head Sculpting Practice

I set out to sculpt a sleeping fairy baby to enter into a sculpting contest. My frustrated kept mounting as I worked on the face because I really didn’t like how she was turning out. I haven’t sculpted a baby face in quite some time, and even the faces I have done were… amateurish. And […]

Female Troll Sculpture in Polymer Clay

This female troll marks the last of my Fairies Gnomes and Trolls inspired journey from 2014. My goal for last year was to work on my sculpting skills. And while I got busy and sick along the way, I definitely see some improvements. This sculpture was influenced by Humboldt the Fourth in Maureen Carlson’s Fairies […]

Mokume Gane Polymer Clay Rainbow Pen Tutorial Video

Mokume Gane Polymer Clay Rainbow Pen Tutorial Video

Mokume Gane is one of those techniques that always scared me. I’m not 100% sure why. Perhaps it looks too… complex? Or perhaps the idea that it’s hit or miss. You make the mokume gane stack and you’re stuck with it, there’s no ‘fixing it’ like with a sculpture. And so I studied mokume gane […]

I Accept the 2015 Polymer Clay Challenge

Is it New Year’s Eve already? Where did 2014 disappear to? While the year appears to have flown by, so much has happened in 2014, a little too much. When not sculpting I run my own full-time tutoring business over at Leah4sci.com I had set some pretty lofty goals for 2014 and am happy to […]
