FOR THE LOVE OF PAPERCLAY ....

I have made mention of paperclay a number of times before on this blog ...... I love it. I love how easy it is to work with, as well as how versatile it is. I love that it air dry's and can be sanded to remove any blemishes. It is very light when dry. The downside ..... It can be a little pricey, but a little does go a long way. I never buy it unless I have a coupon ...... let's face it, between Hobby Lobby, Joann's and Michaels, somebody ALWAYS has a coupon !!!!

I used paperclay to make the heads of this lovely ....
My other zombie doll from a few posts back, also had a paperclay head :-)

I get such inspiration from Elizabeth (Creative Breathing) - she is a phenomenal artist, who creates THE cutest characters to inhabit her craft room. Her blog is a "must visit" ....... you could spend hours scrolling through her gorgeous creations. Here are my snowman creations .....

He looks like he's shivering in the cold .....

There's nothing like those first snow flurries to signify winter ....

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas, without an outing to choose the perfect Christmas tree.

These little snowmen jars, just make me smile :-)
The jars came from some canned fruit. They're perfect ...... they have little markings on the side of them, that look just like snowmen arms. I put sparkle thread and a tealight inside each jar (the battery operated kind ... of course) ....... I love the effect. They would make great jars to gift some homemade candies in too.

These are not made from paperclay, but are paper mache balls, that I painted and added a stick and some ribbon to. I think they would look very cute as part of a Christmas centerpiece.

I'm certainly in Christmas decor mood ...... my gift list is slowly being worked through too....... Hopefully I'll get most of it done in time :-)
So how is your Christmas crafting going ......
