Contrast: Blinging up my Rustic

by Staci Louise Smith

I finally decided to try adding a little "bling" to my rustic.  I love contrast, and I am surprised at myself, for not trying this sooner!

I love how Gaia Copia uses crystals with her natural shapes, like her ammonite and crystal earrings.  Her rustic bling has always inspired me!

you can check our more of her work here- while her website is under construction


So I ordered me some crystals and got into it.  

I spent a day making these before I left for our trip, and just could NOT wait to paint them and see how they looked finished.


So then of course, I painted a few before we left too, because I am so impatient.
(they are mid-paint here)

So when I got home from vacation and went to clean off my desk, I could not just put these to the side, they were begging to be made into something right now.  

So of course, I obliged.



So now I can move onto other things on my list.  

Do you ever have that happen?  That you can't move onto what you are supposed to be doing, because you just HAVE to finish something that sparked your creativity?  Happens to me all the time!

The rest of the beads are not done, but the necklaces are available through my Facebook page (below) if you are interested, just message me.  Otherwise, they will venture to my next show with me.

Ancient Artifacts: The Crackle Glaze Technique

by Staci Louise Smith



I am so excited to finally share what I have been working on.  I know I have mentioned this project I have going on for some time now.......well, today is the reveal.
 
 
I wrote my first tutorial for Etsy!  It is available right now in my shop.
 
 


I am really excited to be able to share this with everyone.  I wrote it in 4 easy to understand sections so you can mix and match the techniques, to create different finished products each time. 
I think it is a really fun, and informative tutorial that will allow you to create some wonderful effects on your polymer clay.
 
So there it is!  I hope you enjoy it- and I can't wait to see what you guys make.
