Craft Friday is a 2012 recurring blog post where I present either a hobby jewelry technique or project I'm currently working on. So, in holding with the 1:1 ratio of jewelry design , and continuing on creating a mixed media necklace out of Emmis's and mine broken porcelain plates , I must say I'm currently really lacking the 50% inspiration needed. It's not that I don't want to create anything, because I do, but I just can't get the hint of an idea to even form in my head. And this is annoying, to say the least. I've put all the things I'll need for the project on my desk, and I've put my scrap book open on the "right page" there for all to see, I've even thought up a few techniques I thought I try out with the polymer clay on the same time. But I just can't  come up with any real inspirational ideas. Which is why I think this post should be about how people find inspiration from different media for differ...

Craft Friday is a 2012 recurring blog post where I present either a hobby jewelry technique or project I'm currently working on. There is something to be said about the dichotomy that is porcelain and pottery. One one hand it is burned in very hot ovens, used to store everything from food to chemicals in, and  it can withstand the tooth of time for hundreds of years. A thousand even. But on the other hand... Shards from one of Emmis' nice, if broken, green plates. ...it breaks into a hundred (or a thousand) pieces if it accidentally falls on the floor. Which, needless to say, is what happened to a few of Emmis' plates a few weeks ago, as well as to one of mine last Tuesday. Left were a mess of shards, and I managed to scavenged a few before the rest were thrown out with the trash. I know there's lots of things that you can do with pieces of porcelain, beautiful mosaics e.g. , but when these accide...

Craft Project Wednesday is a 2012 recurring blog post where I present a craft project I'm currently working on. Inside us all, no matter what we look like on the outside, there is a sugar-dependent brain screaming for more glucose. Okay, for it's also screaming for a lot of other things, but trust me about the glucose. We're all sugar addicts. Now, the craft course I'm currently enrolled in is inspiring in a lot of other ways than just about the  polymer clay  millefiori -technique. Take a look at the photo here under: Except for the "raspberry mousse cake" in the upper left corner, which 'typical' finnish cookies do you recognize in the photo? Did you get a sudden craving for cookies? Or chocolate? Or both? Or nothing? Damn, then you're mentally stronger than me! Well, YOU just go ahead and TRY making miniature food out of polymer clay and we'll see who's managed to NOT be desperately hungry for sugar afte...
