Little Polymer Clay Charm in Progress...

Little Polymer Clay Charm in Progress..., originally uploaded by MAUstudio.

Another "secret" idea that I had was to make little polymer clay charms of my characters. I used to make stud earrings using polymer clay a lot back in my high school days. It's been a while since I touch this material, and it took a bit longer than I thought to make one. Anyway, I think they look cute! What do you think?

I sealed them with a clear gloss and they are drying on my inventive drying rack that I made using old chopsticks and cardbox. Hey, it worked and economical!

I love toys! Even though I'm older now and don't buy very much of them, I still love them no matter what. Just look at this photo by Multiple Personalities, these toys are awesome. I would love a display like that with COLORFUL toys.

Ever since I was little, I love collecting things. My collections include: stamps, erasers (all different shapes and color), bookmarks, cute notepads, stationery, paper, etc... lots and lots of things. They are carefully stored and I would sometimes take out and look at them. Maybe I should start a collection of toy too? hehe...

Japanese Festival2, originally uploaded by MAUstudio.

I went to Mitsuwa Japanese Grocery Store today and didn't know they are having a frestival this weekend. It was super crowded. I didn't get to walk around much, but saw lots of cute little girls in kimono. I did have my ramen though! Yummy!

Rings

Rings, originally uploaded by MAUstudio.

I made lots of rings for the craft shows before. I'm looking to sell the rest of them on my website and clean out the inventory so I can make some new ones for the show coming up in fall. I still have a lot of earrings that are waiting for me to take pictures of with my NEW camera! Keep checking my website, because I will put new items up every week. Lots of them will be in the clearance sections.

Bird Nest Ring, originally uploaded by MAUstudio.

I kept seeing these cute little bird nest rings and pendants from other jewelry artists, so I want to try making some. This is my first attempt. It looks okay I think? This ring is wrapped on an adjustable ring band, and it will fit most fingers.

I while back I wrote about being published in a book. I finally got a copy of it. Thanks my friend for buying me the book. This book has not yet been distributed in the US. If you like buttons, this book is a must have. I didn't have a lot of button designs when I first started out. So you only see a few on this page. I wish I could have send them more, but anyway, if you like my buttons, do check them out on my website!

Clearance

2008-07-17T08:21:00.000-07:00

I added more items in the $5 and $10 clearance sections and will add more in a few days. I want to clean out my inventory for more new goodies this upcoming fall season. I'll be doing another craft shows and getting ready for the holiday season.

Cute Little Bear with Stars Bracelet

Cute Little Bear with Stars Bracelet, originally uploaded by MAUstudio.

I bought these lucite charms from a supplier oversea. They are a bit expensive, but absolutely cute! You know me, I love STARS. I included some enamel plated and silverplated star charms on this bracelet as well. It's definitely one of my favorites and it's one of a kind as usual. This is up on my ETSY store instead of my website at MAUstudio.

By the way, I decided to mark down my bracelets a little on my website. I know a lot of people like them, but they maybe a bit pricey for some. I would rather make less profit in order to find someone who will enjoy wearing them and appreciate my creativity and care for making these bracelets. So check them out!

I just got a new camera, so I'll be taking lots and lots of photos and put them up soon. Very excited!
