12 days Of Christmas - Day Five...

The fifth gift is from me! 


I wrapped each box in handmade paper that was purchased through 
Distant Village, covered it with a beautiful felted ribbon and tied the name tag with hemp cord.  


 I decided to create polymer clay bead sets for the other eleven participants. I took a polymer clay class with Christine Damm at Art Bliss this past September and really fell in love with the medium! Each person received a pendant and a set of beads. The birch tree was swapped out for a butterfly pendant (which I didn't get a chance to photograph). I felt the Cheri (the recipient) would enjoy the butterfly more.

I hope everyone likes what I created for them!

  3. Ok, I love the packaging almost as much as the contents! Thank you for showing me the importance of beautiful wrapping. And I can see how much it means to take a class, cause I know I couldn't reproduce what you've made here from my dabbling play in pc. The bronze looking coin with the blue just jumps out at me, as does the pendant above it and the leaves. Truly beautiful pieces that I'm sure the recipients were thrilled to open!

  11. Kathleen, I AM SO AMAZED at your polymer bead sets!!! You went from beginner to way beyond so quickly! I am just so impressed with your talent with polymer. Sadly, I haven't made the time to practice what I learned in class in Sept.... wouldn't know where to begin now. :-( Your bead sets are all so beautiful and I love the variety. The packaging and photos are all so fantastic as well!
