Clay Scrub

As you guys know, I'm a huge fan of polymer clay (it's what my handcrafted jewellery is made of) but cleaning your hands after a day of creating can leave you with really rough hands. I found a scrub recipe from the Polymer Clay Cookbook that is supposed to not only rid your hands of annoying clay residue but also leave your hands nice and soft. 

Here's the recipe, let me know how you guys like it or what other products you use to fight annoying polymer clay residue.

Clay Be Gone Sugar Scrub
from Polymer Clay Cookbook

1/8 cup of salt
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 cup of liquid soap
1/8 cup of olive oil
Clean jelly jar 

yields: just under 1 cup of scrub.

In a clean jelly jar, add salt and sugar, mix well. Add soap and olive oil and incorporate using a fork.

That's all there is to it folks! To use, simply scoop a small amount into dry hands, scrub gently then add a bit of water and scrub some more. Rinse and wash away.

There you have it, a simple hand scrub.


Enjoy!

Alice in TeaLand

I made this bracelet a few weeks ago after being inspired by some Alice goodness but have yet to put it up in my Etsy shop because I find it so pretty.

What do you guys think? Should I put it up or keep it?

Sugary Treat

Alright, as promised, more Etsy love from my shop! Enjoy!

Colourful Lollipop Pendants/Charms, available in 5 different flavours!

Bright Purple and Forest Green Button Pendants/Charms. 

Butter Yellow Icing with Red Sprinkles and Blue Cup- Earrings- Cupcake Collection. These are some of my favourite and go perfectly with the matching pendant that I already have in the store.

Last, but certainly not least: Pink Cupcake with Hazelnut Icing- Earrings- Cupcake Collection. 

That's it for now! I've been so busy uploading everything and setting up shop, not to mention school work and making all these beauties...its been a long week for me already and I'm ready for a bit of sleep!
Check back tomorrow though, as I have a few new additions to add from the lovely bunch I made today. And as always, any kind of feedback and/or comments are extremely welcomed. I'm flying in the dark here, so anything you guys might have to say about the items, the shop, the prices...are most definitely appreciated!

Laters!

Also I would love some feedback from you guys about the store, the products, the prices and even the descriptions.
