Do you remember the cane I showed you back in October? Finally I've got round to photographing some of the jewellery I made with it. Here is a pair of large dangle earrings and a pendant. #katopolyclay #Katopolyclay #polymerclaynecklace #polymerclayart #polymerclayinspirations #polymerclayearrings #pattern #statementearrings #polymerclaycanes #polymerclayartist (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-nLD9xFUmh/?igshid=v0nul920y1s1

I will be teaching this Kimono Patterns workshop at The Atlantic Clay Escape - Atlantic City 6-10th October 2020.

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

I'm going to do my best to join in with March Meet the Maker challenge by @joannehawker but I have an extremely busy month so please excuse me if I don't manage every day - or post on time! Day 1 Favourite to make. Well I am sure you won't be surprised to find out my favourite thing to make is polymer clay canes. Building up the blocks of pattern from different colours of clay. It's the bit I love best. I love colour and pattern so millifiori cane work is perfect for me. Here is a small collection of canes I've made. . . . . #marchmeetthemaker #polymerclayjewelry #polymerclaycanes #millifiori #katopolyclay #carajaneuk #favouritemake (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bui2ZF6l5Xq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jbye517s6iid
