Playing with my New Cutters & other fun stuff

Check out these new handmade cutters that I purchased from Valerie Wallace.  Val is a friend that I met on Polymer Clay Central , she has a shop in Scotland, Polymer Clay.co.uk , where she sells polymer clay, tools and accessories.

These little cutters are wonderful,  the seams are tightly soldiered so they make clean cuts. Both sides are sharp, I use a wooden block to push them into the clay.  To give you some idea of the sizes the largest square and circle is 7/8", the largest star is 2 1/2", the smallest star is 3/8", the largest heart 1 3/4" and the smallest 1/4".

Here are clay samples that I made with the cutters.   Most will be used to make earrings.

I layered these and will use them for pendants and earrings.

I love this necklace I made using the largest stylized heart. I combined it with a flower bead and colored wire to make the pendant. I am trying to decide if I like the copper chain... I may change it to satin cord in lavender or peach.

Here is a photo of the pinbacks with bails that I mentioned in an earlier post.  The goldtone  is 1" and the silvertone is 1 1/2".  I purchased these from Articus Studio owned by Corrine Byers.  I was pleased with the price, the shipping charge and the prompt service. 

I made these canes last week.

Tomorrow I will show you what I made with the canes. 

Thanks for stopping by.
