Polymer clay pendants... some colour play...

Not really a lot but a little bit play time with polymer clay. I think they look like they just came out of a painting. I enjoy the effect! :)

These ones were meant for the art bead scene monthly challenge. Life happened but I like how they turned out! Maybe I'll use them someday soon (hopefully!)

The other two pendants you can find in my etsy shop (house and cup of coffee).

Coffee card and book mark

Here she is, the first card with the new coffee stamps! Next time I will look for a little bit darker background and will even extend the "roughed look" a little bit more :)

And with some leftovers a bockmark. I like the combination of dark and light brown with some black and this kind of turqoise. Just have to find somebody who can laminate me this book mark so I can use it.

I made the coloured papers mostly with different papers and kinds of coffee. Just a few examples of them:

normal writing paper

paper from a small notepad, crushed until it was very softened and afterwards dyed in the coffe and dried with a flat iron... of course with some backing paper in between ^^

If you just press it up the paper you get this structures:

  

But of course you can get all the wrinkles out of the paper while it is still wet. Just like ironing fabric :)

Some semi transparent sandwich paper... 

Cardboard...

...and more cardboard...

Carved stamps - a coffee themed set

Just another theme I want to create something out of it but didn't have any suitable stamps for it ^^ The theme ist "coffee or tea".

I made two versions of the "steam" because I was not sure whether "smaller or bigger steam" would look better. I think I may go with the version on the left side, the "bigger" one.

At first i was a little bit disappointed that on the coffee writing the last "E" was a little bit broken but after looking through the pictures of coffee sacks in the internet I go in for it! On all the coffee sacks the writing is rough or broken so it's just fitting :)

And now: Bedtime!
