New &updated ornaments!

Lately I've been getting my hands dirty by digging into Fimo clay and getting on with making my little character ornaments!

I started off by practicing with the Fimo clay and created these two little fruities.


They are both photo holders, and I attached funny little googly eyes which look better than drawing the eyes on. Fimo clay is amazing to use, it's easy, non- messy and you can quickly create whatever you want with it. Only half an hour in the oven and viola, they clay has set perfectly.

Today (12th April- Easter day!) , I started to make lots of my Miss. strawberries, Mr. apples and Mrs. grapes. This took a long time but it was well worth it! I apologize for the brightness of my fruits! :D



I used a cocktail stick to make holes into the strawberries to create the textured look. The grapes took a long time to do as I was rolling lots of little balls for a while and my hands were soon very very purple...! The apples were easiest and quickest to make. I pierced a little hole in each of them except the grapes (I want the grapes just to be ornaments) so after they are baked I can put wire photo holders in them.

I am due to put on the googly eyes and the wire holders in and hopefully you will all like the finished result. :D

Ta-ra for now!
