March Meet the Maker Day 5 - Detail or close up Most of my pieces are quite small being as I mainly make jewellery so it's hard to focus on on detail. Here is a close up ish picture of my faux marquetry polymer clay heart. Sanded to a beautiful soft satin finish of course. #carajaneuk #polymerclay #polymerclayjewellery #polymerclayjewelery #Katopolyclay #polymerclaycanes #polymerclaycreations #HeyThereMaker #marchmeetthemaker #handmade #handmadejewelry #handmadejewellery #polymerclayfaux #fauxwood #marquetry (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buni-UmFo4g/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tbv1z53d7ujq

March Meet the Maker day 4 Tools & Materials I have lots of tools, lots and lots of tools but in reality most of the time I use the ones I have in this picture. Mainly they are very simple; home made needle and drill tools, a knitting needle, a scalpel, an acrylic roller. I am fussy about my blades and my 3 favourites are Donna Kato's T blade because it is short, sharp and thin, the @lucyclaytools one as it is sharp and rigid and the black coated blades as they slice nicely too. I like to have a good quality pasta machine so I have an Atlas and a @lucyclaytools Mammoth (too big for this picture 😄). As a cane maker I would be without my @lucyclaytools Slicer - it makes my canes go much further and cuts down on sanding. My favourite polymer clay is Kato Polyclay - it's nice and firm which makes making canes easier. I do work with other brands sometimes too. (You may noticed I skipped day 3 - flatlay. I've never set up a flatlay before and I'm very short on time. I'll give it a go next month perhaps) #carajaneuk #polymerclay #lucyclaytools #Katopolyclay #polymerclaycanes #tools #polymerclaytools #marchmeetthemaker #donnakato (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BumSaF_FwSo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16nzxp9pd5ex4

#marchmeetthemaker Day 2 How you started I actually first used polymer clay when I was about 7 to make a tea set for my Sindy dolls. I've still got it somewhere but couldn't find it today 😕 I then made lots of millifiori hippy flower beaded necklaces in my teens and cute little creatures. Here is a polymer clay brooch I made for my bee loving mother in law back in 2010 which was just before polymer clay started taking over my life! . . . #marchmeetthemaker #carajaneuk #polymerclay #polymerclayjewellery #polymerclayjewelery #Katopolyclay #polymerclaycanes #brooch #beejewellery #throwback #polymerclayinspirations #polymerclayart (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BujwZUYlhA_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pb0vowpxwo79
