of my guessing game. Thank you to all the participants!
So fun to read your guesses ^_^
But before I announce the winner, let me tell you the
story of the shards first.
The glass shards were a teapot before. We got a glass
teapot on our wedding. As the marriage broke apart,
my ex took the teapot with him. I bought a new one.
Somehow it has to be made of glass. I bought a cheap
one (it was similar like this one, but with a round pot
and a straight handle). After almost 5 years the plastic
ring, which hold the glass pot around it's neck, suddenly
broke. I was shocked - I was holding it, as I was about
to dry it!! I collected the shards to make something
out of them. And my new teapot? If you followed my
treasury addiction last winter, you might remember I
even made a teapot treasury. I was looking for one on
Etsy, but I couldn't find the right one or the ones I love
were out of my budget. So now my thrift store finds
are serving me as teapots. The mocha coffee pot is ideal
for me in the late evening - I got two cups of tea. The
coffee pot is great when I have many guests. It has even
a cozy to keep the tea warm.
Now to the winner.
Three comments guessing 'teapot' came from (1)Leina,
(2)Minna and (3)Antonella. Christine's answer was
unfortunately too general to be counted in.
With a little help of the randomizer....
.... Minna aka karuski is the winner! Congratulations!
I've turned the piece into a wearable artwork. I wanted
to make something inside the white ring, but I thought
it would be too much. But without, it doesn't feel complete.
So I decided to make a work on a small canvas, where
the dream catcher might rest if not in use as a necklace
(or window decoration or what ever the owner wish to ;))
and there it shows the words fly and hope, which can be
trapped by the ring.
This is what I'm trying to say with this piece:
Give your dreams wing(s) to fly. Never lose hope. Even
if you only have one fragile wing. Dream on, as dream
sometimes comes true.
It was a fun project, kind of finishing a puzzle :)
Thank you to all of you, who has given me the support
with your comments!
Working with polymer clay is not my thing, but sometimes
it's just practical. As for the two words I first wanted to
make them out of glass too, but lacking skill I didn't manage
to do it :/ Fimo did a good job here, even if it was not easy
for me (I admire even more polymer clay artists, like Leina
or Stéphanie). As my son saw it, he of course wanted to
play with Fimo too. He made a sword, an axt and a shield
for me :)
Fimo is involved in my next projects too (at least for
the moment - I'm looking for an alternative for an
eco friendlier material - maybe papier-mâché). I'm
drooling over Kokeshi dolls lately. Inspired by them,
I start to make my own dolls. The cotoneaster girl is
the first one of the series. So cute ^_^ What do you
think?
This one
Another vegan friendly listing, as no leather involved ;)
Made over 2 weeks ago, but forgot about it *sigh* I'm
getting old!
I'm going to donate 10% of my sales of some items to the
American Cancer Society in honor of Laura, who is fighting
against the ovarian cancer. I saw about this project
sometimes ago, but just got the time to read about it
carefully. Just search for "etsyprojectembrace" to find
more items for this good cause on Etsy.
