My Little Cupcake



This is my first polymer clay project.I did this for a cupcake swap.This cutie ended up being a cell phone charm.I only had white clay around so I created the cupcake then after baking it I painted it.After the paint was dry I dunked it in glaze then while wet I sprinkled some glitter on the top.I had so much fun making this that I HAD to go and buy more clay..

Some domino pendants













I love how these turned out.I used several layers of varnish.I used the blank side of the domino and the flipside still has the dots of the domino on them.They will soon be some awesome pendants.

Day One

My intention of starting this blog is to have a way of showing of my work and to have a way to interact with people that see my creations.I dont know how often I will be able to manage this but will do my best to stay on top of this and to update it as often as I can.

What is SmittenHeart Designs up to?? Well,I have been looking through various knitting patterns to see what I want to do next and I feel the great need to create some fuzzy creatures for Shane so here we go..

I also have been making more photo jewelry.The current project that I am working on is for a lady that works with Mario.Her mother is very old and his co-worker is the last of 5 kids to still be on earth.So I am making a pendant of the ONLY photo that exists with all 5 kids...Quite a touching piece.I hope to be able to sit with his co-worker to discuss the people in the photo.This is the first piece that I have done that features people that I have never met and that has such great history.I have had this project pending for about a month and having put jewelrymaking away to do some knitting.I realized that I should really start working on this great project and after talking about it with Mario I realized how much it would mean to the family to have this...
