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

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

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

I love the versatility of polymer clay! I made a round cane (see previous post for the round versions), made some jewellery then reshaped it. Here's a pair of little studs - same pattern but small and some nice big but very light dangles! #polymerclayartist #polmerclayjewelry #polymerclayart #earringshandmade #colourfuljewellery #colorfulearrings #statementearrings #bigearrings #katopolyclay #millefioricanes #polymerclay #polymerclaycanes #carajaneuk #jewellery #earrings #britishcrafts #handmadejewellery (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrENOO2Fv3c/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l6s83le9rh23
