After weeks and weeks of fun days in the studio exploring the wonders of EFColor Low Temp Enamels I decided it would be a great idea to create a tutorial. Combining EFColor and polymer clay seems like a match made in heaven, and I have to tell you, it is. EFColor powders stick really well…
Mixed Media Found Objects Statement Necklace
I love creating large, mixed media art jewellery necklaces! Incorporating found objects, broken jewellery, fabric, feathers, beads is incredibly exciting (yep, if you know my work you know I love this stuff). In 2021 the Geraldton Regional Art Gallery hosted the Midwest Art Prize. This is a pretty big deal for our area and often…
Combining Polymer Clay and Tassels
There’s something I’ve always loved about tassels…something quite magical. The combination of beads, fabric, feathers, wire etc is pure heaven for me – a mixed media delight – and they can be incredibly simple to make. They are unique, versatile and look amazing combined with polymer clay components. I often go through stages of incorporating…

I had previously incorporated some of my little flowers into beautiful mini bud vases and ring dishes and also combined them with floral pebbles/cabochons. If you’re reading this you’re on the…
My Polymer Clay Story
Let me tell you a little about my polymer clay story. Let’s start at the beginning…. My polymer journey started a long time ago and I fell head over heals from the moment I touched this medium. I joined an Aussie forum and was probably the pesky “new kid on the block” asking all the…
Tutorial: Polymer Clay, Moiko Silkscreens and Mica Powder
Using mica powder with a silkscreen can create some stunning effects, especially if you’re using a dark coloured clay. I find I much prefer mica powders on a darker clay surface and this process is no exception. The process I’ve used here is almost identical to the chalk pastel/powders but I’m going to show you…
Inspiration – Working to Nurture Happiness
This is very much a spur of the moment blog post – I’m on a quest for happiness in the studio. I have a feeling if I write this down it may help both myself and perhaps someone else. My clay table has been a flurry of activity lately as I’ve been creating new pieces…
