❄️ New on the blog! ❄️

Apparently, the weather wanted to be on theme, because we woke up to a dusting of snow this morning, just in time for the release of Frostbound Morning, my newest wintery polymer clay color palette

If you’re in the mood for icy blues, cozy making sessions, and colors that feel like a snow-kissed sunrise… this one’s for you

Buying gifts is easy, right? Making them is way more fun (and significantly messier)

And since the holiday season is right around the corner I’ve rounded up 20 polymer clay projects that’ll make amazing handmade gifts — jewelry, home decor, trinket dishes, ornaments, and more

Because “I made this for you” feels better than “It was on sale” every time 🎁

What started with a single daisy cane has grew into a full-blown enchanted meadow. The new Shadowroot Garden PDF tutorial is finally live and it’s a big one. Sixty pages. Over 150 photos. Six canes. Two plant pot projects. And enough colour recipes to make a faerie jealous

If you’ve ever wanted to build a cohesive cane collection (without losing your mind halfway through), this one’s for you. Each cane layers into the next, creating a rich, textured story in clay — and the plant pots? Let’s just say your houseplants are about to get an upgrade

Available now in my shop 🔗 in bio

I took a couple weeks off to work on some stuff behind the scenes on my blog and go visit family but I’m back this week with a new set of colour recipes on the blog

The Autumn Brew colour palette is serving up cozy warmth topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon

Grab the Fimo Pro (you’ll need white, black, red, magenta, yellow, and blue) and cozy up with these five fall-inspired colour recipes

We’re almost at the end of the Shadowroot Garden series, but not before adding a juicy little detail…

This week on the blog, I’m showing you how to make a polymer clay berries cane. They’re creamy yellow with a red core and just the thing to tuck in between the fantasy flowers and freckled leaves

Who’s ready for fall? 🙋🏻‍♀️

I know I am. It’s been stinkin’ hot here this week and I’m looking forward to the cooler weather and one of my farmers’ market favourites → squash season, which happened to inspire my latest colour recipes on the blog

Say hello to Harvest Moon Bounty. This palette is all about cozy abundance, ready to roll right off the farmstand and into your studio. It’s the perfect palette as we move from summer into fall. All you need is four Fimo Pro colours and you’re good to go

I’ve added some foliage to the Shadowroot Garden but it’s not your average greenery. These leaves are just as colorful as the flowers they grow beside. One leaf has lots of color in each slice and the other changes color as you make your way through the cane, thanks to a little mokume gane-inspired magic

Build the leaves for the Shadowroot Garden pattern mix cane or let them shine on their own. Head to the blog for the step-by-step tutorial

And when you make them, don’t forget to tag me when your garden starts to grow 🌿
