STAEDTLER Lily Fairy Doll Make

I made up a Lily Fairy doll so I could send the instructions out to the contest winners, but decided to post them here so you could all see how easy (and fun) it is to create a doll using this fantastic STAEDTLER mold.

I changed the feet included in the mold because I wanted my doll to have curled, striped stockings on.

Overwhelmed.

I'm completely overwhelmed by the many talented designers who participated in this weeks STAEDTLER Sweet Summer Blog Hop and giveaway with Stampendous. We got to merge the wonderful products that these two companies offer and I had a blast playing.

Here's a list of links to the many fabulous blogs and their authors. I plan on keeping an eye on each and every one of them and am sure you'll want to visit too. (If I've missed any of the blog hop participants please let me know and I'll add you)
 






I'll be announcing the winner of STAEDTLER's Sweet Summer Giveaway early next week, along with three of my peeps who will have won some of the pieces I made for the hop.
I'm also flabbergasted by the wonderful comments I've received this week. I hope to see you all in the future.  I've got so many new projects planned for the next few months that I can hardly sleep and I'd love to share all of them with all of you.
You still have time to add a comment and join this site at the bottom of the page for a chance to win.
The comments will be open until midnight tonight.
Deadline extended until Sunday.
Here are some of the great "new to me" toys you'll see me playing with in the near future.
I'm a HUGE fan of the Stampendous product line. 

See you all next week!
Good luck!

Fit for a Queen Two... The Dark Side.

The Sweet Summer Blog Hop
With 
Continues!


I re-vamped Monday's project in a darker pallet.
I like the darker base clay with the embossing powders.


To complete this project you will need:
Stampendous Encrusted Teal Jewel kit embossing powders and glitters
Opaque blue ink pad
Clear ink pad
Rhinestones
Super glue
jewelry findings, chain, jump rings, lobster claw, head pins, 22 gauge wire, crystal faceted beads, 

Tools you'll need to complete this project:
Home oven
Parchment paper
Rolling pin for clay use only
Craft knife
Medium grit nail file
Drill with fine drill bit
Three in one jewelry pliers, double round nose, flat and wire cutters.



Flatten your STAEDTLER fimo soft black clay to a 1/4 inch thick sheet and load your Stampendous crown stamp with opaque blue ink. Lightly stamp the clay without leaving an impression. Use the craft blade to cut around the inked image. Bake the piece in a preheated 230 degree oven for 20 minutes and allow the piece to cool


I re-stamped the piece with clear ink and dusted it with detail capri embossing powder. Re-baked the piece at 230 degrees for another ten minutes and let it cool. Then I drilled holes in either side of the crown to hang the piece and added the jewelry findings to make the necklace.


There.....
Now I want to try a pink one!!!

Blue Glitter and Embossing Powder Meet Translucent Fimo

The Sweet Summer Blog Hop
With 
Continues!


Products used to make this project:

Jewelry findings, headpins, lobster claw, chain, jump-rings, 20 gauge wire, earring wires.......

Tools you need to reproduce this project:

Polymer clay rolling pin
Small circle cutters (mine are a 3/4 inch and a 1 inch)
Three in one pliers or... double round nose, flat and wire cutter pliers
Clay cutting blade
Parchment paper
Round tooth picks
Block of styrofoam
Soft round paintbrush
Plastic sandwich bag


Roll out the STAEDTLER fimo effect translucent clay to 1/4 inch thick and sprinkle the glitter and embossing powders onto the flattened clay sheet.


These glitters and embossing powders are gorgeous! I want to try them all mixed with my favorite STAEDTLER translucent clay.


Fold and re-roll the glitter into the clay over and over until it's dispersed throughout the clay evenly.


Sprinkle some Stampendous glass glitter onto the mixed glitter clay and re-roll and fold the clay again until you're happy with the mix.


Use the sandwich bag plastic to cover the mixed clay sheet and push the round clay cutter into the clay to make smooth edged rounded discs.


Sandwich wire between two of the smoothed mixed clay discs and seal the edge seams by gently smudging with your fingertips. The wire will make a hole for stringing the bead.


I sprinkled some glittery embossing powder onto one edge of each bead. I couldn't resist.


I rolled the extra clay into little balls and skewered onto a piece of wire. I baked all the beads in a preheated 230 degree oven for 20 minutes and allowed them to cool off before handling.


I removed the beads from the baking wire and put each bead onto the end of a toothpick and dipped them into the STAEDTLER gloss varnish.


I poked the other end of each toothpick into a large piece of styrofoam to dry. I came back after a few minutes and dabbed off the extra varnish drips.


After the beads are dry, load each onto a decorative head pin and make an eye using the three in one pliers.
Follow this tutorial if you need it.


These beads turned out spectacularly!
I love the STAEDTLER fimo effect translucent clay as a base for these glitters.


I added some chain to a couple ear hooks and linked some round beads evenly to these chains with jump rings to make some sweet dangle earrings.


I really love these beads!!!


I added a bead and a lobster claw to each end of a 20 inch length of silver coloured chain to make a necklace.


I hung the beads from the chain at even intervals. I started in the middle of the chain with the largest bead.

Black Bird Beads

Another project for the Sweet Summer Blog Hop with
I love how the dark STAEDTLER fimo shows off the Stampendous glitter in this piece.
Don't forget to join this blog and leave a comment on this post for your chance to win.


To complete this project you will need:
Stampendous Encrusted Teal Jewel kit embossing powders and glitters
Opaque blue ink pad
Rhinestones
Super glue
Silver coloured jewelry findings, chain, jump rings, lobster claw, head pins, silver coloured 22 gauge wire.

Tools you'll need to complete this project:
Home oven
Parchment paper
Water in a spray bottle
Rolling pin for clay use only
Craft knife
1 inch round clay cutter
Pack of round toothpicks
Three in one jewelry pliers, double round nose, flat and wire cutters.



Roll out some STAEDTLER fimo soft black clay to about 1/4 inch thick and sprinkle with an assortment of Stampendous glitters and embossing powders.


Roll over the glittered clay with the clay roller.


Use the round clay cutter to cut out circles from the pressed and glittered clay.


Sandwich a piece of wire between two glittered circles pressing firmly to create a solid bead. Rub the edge seam with your fingertips to seal the join.


I dusted one side of each bead with more embossing powder.


I made small ball beads by rolling some black clay balls in the excess glitter and embossing powder. Then I poked a hole in each bead with the wire.



I made a 1 1/2 by 2 inch flat bead poking a hole through the top of the piece from side to side. I loaded one of the teeny bird stamps found on the  Stampendous Charm Set Perfectly Clear Stamp Set with an opaque blue ink and pressed it into the clay bead to make an impression on the beads front.




I added some turquoise detail embossing powder to the stamped image and brushed away any surface powder.


I loaded one edge of the focal bead with some aged teal embossing powder and baked the beads on a 230 degree oven for 20 minutes on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Allow the beads to cool completely before handling.


Put each bead onto the end of a toothpick and dip into the STAEDTLER fimo gloss varnish. Poke the other end of each toothpick into a large piece of styrofoam to let the beads dry. Check in a few minutes to dab away any varnish drips.


Here's a tutorial on how I make my head pins and eye pins to make this piece.
