My journey through the creative process. My work centers mostly through the art of glass and polymer clay beads. I'm sharing my experiences with both in an effort to help others through their own creative process.

This was made over a week ago and wasn't sure if I was going to post it. We are back from the beach and I'm tying up loose ends so thought I would post it. Made with Sculpey Premo clay in sunset colors. You can use any colors you like. The bats I ended up using were number 023. I have a few bat cutters so you can go ahead and put bat in the search bar of my store and they all should come up. Ju...

Just wanted to say thank you so much for your videos. I love what you do and have learned so much. I also very much enjoy your chats about your dogs and your family :)
These are absolutely adorable, thank you x
Hey Irene. Give ya a thumbs up, but I'll have to watch in the morning....I gotta 😴 💤 💤😴
I just wanted to let you know that I have so much fun w/your cutters! I will have to send pictures!😊
Irene for a spur what about the bead caps or really small spacer/sprocket size inbedded between layers and use center hole to do chain across the boot? Just an idea...now I will have to order the 1" mirror boot cutters...
@betsyvanek9275 I actually thought of that or watch gears embedded into the side. Will have to try it.
Irene I love the bootsthe chain was awsome thank you
About your new dog, after the vet appointment, if he needs help to correct feet and legs and you need help with funds, If you can create an account with your vet, that way we can contact the vet directly and add funds to help offset your expenses. It faster and easier then a go fund me account. You just have to give your cat time to adjust and show who him who's boss. Cats are funny about new pets cat or dogs, they just need time. I grow up in Corona CA we didn't have fleas, not like where I'm at now central AR ticks was horrible this year. Talk to the vet but i like using a natural coconut soap Kurtz's is a good one, they have one in a liquid, then use vinegar/ water rinse to reset the ph of the hair. I have 4 rescue pitbulls and 3 cats. ❤ If the vet recommends a monthly treatment plan for fleas ticks and heartworm, NextGard plus works will enough to cure my son's German/husky of heartworms.
What number you use on the pasta machine for the clay
My squares are always at the thickest setting
hi, what is a pandora’s bracelet templet? ( you said you use instead of the acrlyic plate because it is easier on your hands) (17:09) thank you:) I am about to try something like this as a total newbie to polymer clay. I am trying to replicate a lost spiny oyster piece I lost years ago. Thanks for the info and inspo. 😊
The Pandora's bracelet template is the same as an acrylic plate. It's just a block in different widths so that you can make several size bracelets. I will send you a link

Callus remover! Brilliant! Love the rose too!
I like you doing live tutorials! It’s fun watching you put these canes together! I learn a lot
Your canes never cease to amaze me❣️ And the puppy face surprise in this one is awesome!!!! I also really like how all the colors complimented each other. It was interesting in the beginning when you mentioned the Posca markers. I bought some as a self-birthday gift about a week ago and made some earrings using them. I like that they are opaque yet I discovered it takes several coats. This was fun watching this cane develop. Thank you for letting us enjoy watching 🖤🩷💚💙🤍
Thank you so much!!
Your work is amazing
Just wondering if you have another video for your glass projects ? I would love to see some.
I hope to get on the torch soon but it's just been so hot like in the triple digits that I don't want to light a 2000 degree torch and a 1000 degree kiln. I would probably melt
@@TheCreativeDork5 completely understand
I loved the puppy what a surprise .I really love your videos they are awesome 😊
Lol, I guess that it was an older 'live' notification
Hi!😁
I was watching your kaleidoscope cane video you just put up when you went live
Absolutely beautiful
As an outsider we see how trump is the king of hate and manipulation.
Gives me Condfidece❤
Shame you are smacking gum through out this video. I can't handle listening to you
, I don't chew gum
I'm making 14 napkin rings for my Sister-in-law. When we lived close, they always had a crowd at the Thanksgiving dinner. Now, I live in Texas, and she lives in Michigan. So, I wanted to do something to let everyone know that I love them and miss them. These have given me great ideas for the napkin rings. Thank you. The "Boo" would make great barettes.
You're so thoughtful! I'm sure they love and miss you as well!😊❤
@@Yummicookie1979 I hope so. I really want to make something nice so that they know I love them.
@@Yummicookie1979 Thank you so much.
Absolument magnifiques les couleurs. Thanks a lot!
Awesome!
my bf wants me to move 4hr away to the mountains. im afraid to leave my family. we cant afford a place near here tho
I missed this - how - I don't know how I didn't get a notice. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Irene, do more of these!
Sorry I missed your live!!!!!
BUMMED! Can’t believe I missed this. I have wished so hard you’d do a live. I’m shocked I didn’t get any notification I have mine set to ALL. I’m so glad I can watch it now.
Hi Irene, I wish I was here for your chat
Sorry we are sideways
whoa I missed the live...
I’m watching
Oh darn, I missed the live and I was in my art room working, which would have been perfect. I’m still going to watch and see if I have any ideas for you.
Missed you too. It was ki d of spontaneous. There's no way to work around a landscape view when you're live though
@@TheCreativeDork5 It was a really good idea to do it though. I liked all the suggestions and how eventually you got a design that worked. It was fun to watch because I found myself wondering about and thinking of similar ideas that people came up with and/or you came up with. I’ll try to pay more attention to when you are posting. Although lately I have found that I watch clay videos less because my time is split between gardening/being outside and being in my art room. In winter I am in my art room most of the time. I only watch certain artists now because seeing others work does greatly influence my own creativity, so I have curbed my viewing. I will watch yours always and this process of putting things together is so up my alley because I struggle with it. I think the group in put is fun, especially if it works for you.
Looks good
Hello from Nebraska
You're very brave for going live
It actually wasn't as bad as I thought LOL
I'm here
❤I love watching you create things
Hello
I don't think you're still live. I would've love to be a part of this. ❤😊
Spur of the moment. I will announce my next one. Still so.e kinks to work out
I am here but all I can do is add a comment
I just finished a live but it's still processing. I'm trying to figure out how I can record in landscape view but UA-cam doesn't allow it and I haven't figured out a work around yet
Personally, you never need to apologise for the length of your video's. I could watch and listen to you for hours(well i do actually lol). One thing i hope i copy you is not giving up. Fabulous. Stay safe🤗🇬🇧
Wonderful colours in your cane. Does the name means the colours used? Sorry to keep asking questions but i am still relatively new. The three together make an instant butterfly in my eyes🤪.Thank you for your time Irene🤗🇬🇧
I have a couple canapés set that works perfectly for these...one is a poker set the other shapes. Going to try the bigger heart shape later today❤
I would not have had the patience like you did! I think we all have our own idea of a bee. Here in UK our bees are chubby with one band! I think the second one is better than the original. It turned out better than i thought. Thanks for your tutorial and patience 👍🤗🇬🇧
I love the tiny bats so. CUTE😊
Hey! my go-to for tiny roses is to simply make a ribbon rose and you can two tone the color! Easy peasy, Best of luck!
The black and white fan shape immediately made me think of a voodoo mask - maybe several hanging from the bottom (wide edge) some bones or like a shark tooth shape?? (It's the Halloween vibe you had going on in this video.) Like Beetlejuice.
Have you ever tried using foil as your center or a wooden bead to keep your earrings light? Happy your home safe!
I don't clean house when people are home. I don't work on my jewelry videos when my husband is home. My ratings go down. I'm not spending enough time on uploading my projects. ❤😊
Wow. We both have that in common. It really sucks too. So much I want to do and just can't focus or feel guilty being in my studio instead of out there with him...watching big bang theory for the thousand time
@@TheCreativeDork5Yay! Big Bang Theory reruns!
Lol...I like them but I know them by heart now
You could try a black rose stud with that hanging below.
I made some. Just a tad bit too small. I'll try some bigger one's
Oooh, I love the bat/moon earrings!!. The background colors really set off the bats and the moon/star dangles finish it off- very nice❣️When I saw that fan shaped black and white earring, I imagined a black (or silver) earring finding at the pointed top and a single, chiseled teardrop bead hanging from the center of the bottom. For me the teardrop shape picked up the design in the middle of the black and white piece- just seemed to flow. I really like the scream earring pieces, too!! Sounds like you do have a lot going on right now. I hope you get to relax on your beach trip and stepping a way for a bit sounds like good timing. I enjoyed this video, it was fun watching you play and I love those little bats!!! Thank you for sharing and enjoy your trip 💜♥️🧡💛
Thank you. We got back from the beach last wednesday. But the husband sold my beloved trailer which I'm upset about and the rest of the week has been spent cleaning it out so he can get a toy hauler :-(
@@TheCreativeDork5 Awe, sounds like there is nothing in the deal for you!! Were you affected by today’s earthquake? And did you have some fun at the beach with your dog?
I always get the short end of the stick LOL. Didn't feel the earthquake yesterday but we did feel the one last week while we were at the beach and that was farther away. And then I think there was one a few days before we left because I remember being at the computer and feeling it. We must be going through a cluster. I need to find a teardrop bead for those black and white earrings so I can try your idea
love your Scream mask w/ the larger black backing! I see myself placing an order!😁
Thanks Betsy. Working on it now. I made the outline for the scream cutter. Will throw that in for you. Just in case you don't want a background like a cameo which is what I used. Now you just cut out your shape and then cut out the cutter of the scream and just set it on top
@@TheCreativeDork5 Thank You so very much Irene 😘
@@TheCreativeDork5Loved the cameo cutter but was not sure which one or size 😵
