Dun, dun, dun, duuunnnn.....It's Almost Cake Week!

It's that time again to announce a new themed week! And if you didn't read the title you are in for a surprise, my friends. Here we go, drum roll please! 

CCCAAAAKKKKEEEE WWEEEEEKKKKK

I mean, who doesn't like cake? And 4 days of cake? I know I just blew your guy's minds :D 

Here is what this week consists of: two kinds of cake frosting, two different earrings. What will they be? Well, you are just going to have to wait to find out...but I will give you a glimpse of Tuesday's listing:

Hope you guys have a great reading, and thanks so much for reading my blog!!!

What is your favorite kind of cake?

Ice Cream Week has begun!

So, this all started when I was sitting at my craft table trying to figure out what to make next. And then it popped into my head: theme weeks and then ice cream. So I am so thrilled to introduce to you my first ever theme week: ice cream. I know ice cream is more of a summer thing but with spring break now over for me summer is the one thing I got on my mind :)

My first pair of earrings have vanilla ice cream plopped on top, but check back everyday in my shop to see a brand new ice cream cone with a new flavor on top: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CreationsbyColette?ref=si_shop.

What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

Thanks for much for reading and have a fabulous rest of the day!

HARRY POTTER HAS ARRIVED!

I am so excited that my first piece in my new Harry Potter line is going to be released today, and I sure do hope that it sells fast because I have had so much fun making the butterbeer and various potions and I want to keep making them! Hopefully I will get a tutorial for one of the potions up very soon and you guys can join me in the fun.

Check it out in my etsy shop where it will be listed for $10: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CreationsbyColette?ref=si_shop.

What is your favorite Harry potter book? Or if you don't read Harry Potter, what is your favorite book?

Thanks so much for reading my blog and I hope you all have a fabulous day :D

The Store is A'Rolling!!

Hey guys! It has been such a long time since I have made new items to add to my shop, but I plan on going on a making spree and loading up on brand new items (no more lame re-lists :D).

AANNDD in addition to some new foodie jewelry, I am expanding my horizons and am in the process of some really cool themed lines, including (wait for it, wait for it....) Harry Potter. Right now I just have three necklaces that I am going to list...that is if they ever decide to dry, just to see how they sell or how well they don't sell. But I have to say that they were so so so much fun to make and I really do hope that they sell well!

Check it out: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CreationsbyColette?ref=si_shop

Complete Overhaul

So I haven't blogged in a long time, which I apologize for, but I have a reason this time! :)

I am attempting to do a complete overhaul of my shop. New items, new pictures, new feel.

I have been contemplating changing my photos for a long time because I found them to be pretty boring and didn't match the feel I wanted to have in my shop. I decided on an idea that I have seen many miniature food stores do. They placed their items on small plates with colorful backgrounds. All I have to say is I am loving the new look. I have only photographed one of my items but I love it.

Its going to take me quite a while to rephotograph and upload all the pictures but I think it is going to be totally worth it.

As well as new photos I have made so many new items including donuts, cake, snow cones and tons of others. But what I am so excited about is what I am calling my "new line" of jewelry which is more adult-like I like to say. Here is a link to the first ring I have listed: http://www.etsy.com/listing/77278675/gorgeous-polymer-clay-rainbow-swirled?ref=v1_other_2.

Finally before I go back to my pictures I want to welcome all the new followers. I can't believe I am up to 70!! Wow!! As soon as I can get to it I want to look at all your guys blogs and follow back. Thanks for everything guys!!

Food Lover's Wine Glass Charms

I am so excited that I have finally gotten around to listing my wine glass charm set. I already had all the charms sitting out and was just waiting for the hoops to arrive and they are here! I slid the charms on, went outside (it was absolutely gorgeous out there today!), took the pics, and now I am back in here waiting for the photos to upload onto etsy. I think I always get WAY to excited when I list a brand new item, but for me just one item is a lot! :) Anyways, I hope you guys like them:

Check them out right here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/72559069/set-of-6-food-lovers-wine-glass-charms

I am currently listing them for $20 but I am thinking about possibly lowering the price a bit, since it looks like most of the other stores are selling them at around $15-$18. 

New Ring Posted: Pink Sprinkled Donut

My second ring is officially posted!! This one is a donut with white icing and pink sprinkles. It is listed for $6.00 in my etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/listing/70988674/pink-sprinkled-donut-adjustable-polymer.

Any suggestions for some other rings?

Thanks for checking my blog out!

My First Ring!

After having received my package I ordered from eBay containing ring blanks I am so excited to announce that I have listed my first ring: A hamburger ring. I hope you guys like it! The hamburger half is actually left over from some hamburger and fries cuff links that I made around Christmas time. So I just applied some super glue and voila!!

Right now it is listed for $6.00, but I wanted to know if you thought that was a reasonable price?

Coming Soon: Food Rings

All I can say is that I am so excited!! I had ordered some ring blanks from China about 2 months ago, thinking they were never going to get here. But the package arrived today and AHHH!!! I just can't believe they are finally here. I have actually already made two rings that I hope to list in my etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CreationsbyColette?ref=si_shop very soon! The two rings I have made so far are a pink sprinkled donut and hamburger rings. I have had a lot of people telling me that they wish I made jewelry for people without pierced ears and I am so happy that I finally can. Look out for them and if you have any ideas for what you would like to see made let me know. Thanks for reading my blog :D

Creations by Colette

It's almost time for gardening!!

I have to say that I am very excited about the fact that it is starting to warm up and about to be time that I can start gardening. This is actually my first year growing a full size garden (last year I just had pots). I already started some of the seeds indoors, although none of them have sprouted yet, I think I might just have to wait and plant the seeds directly into the ground. Hopefully having a garden won't create more stress in my life, I'm hoping it will relieve it but we'll see.

In other news, I have two brand new items in my store: St.Patricks Day Cake and Ice Cream Sandwich (as well tomorrow I will be listing Pumpkin Pie Earrings again.) Please check them out:

St. Patrick's Day Cake: $7.50

Ice Cream Sandwich Earrings: $6.50

These bring back so many memories of camping with my family, and hopefully they do the same for you! These were one of the three earrings that I sold and decided to remake.

They are listed in my etsy shop for $6.50:

They are currently listed in my etsy shop for $7.00

New Listing, please check it out!

I have just finished posting my newest listing for Lemon Meringue Pie Earrings

http://www.etsy.com/listing/68117913/lemon-meringue-pie-polymer-clay-earrings

I am currently selling them for $6.50!

To make them I basically mixed some yellow and translucent clay for the yellow portion and topped that with plain white clay. Next I covered the pie in ecru clay for the crust and dusted it with orange chalk pastel. The whipped cream texture is from mixing some TLS with white chalk pastel and white clay until you get the consistency that you like. 

TIP: I plan out how I am going to cut up the whole pie before I add the TLS and place eye pins in each of the pieces. That way once you cut the pie up, you can just bake them instead of going through the frustrating process of trying to get the eye pins in.

Frosted Mini Donuts

These look good enough to eat and are sooooo easy to make! They are currently selling in my etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CreationsbyColette for $6.00. 

Ooey Gooey Cinnamon Rolls

Hello again! So one of my newest creations are these cinnamon roll earrings. Well, they aren't really new creations since I have made them before but these are new and improved! They are listed on my etsy store, so go and check them out: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CreationsbyColette. Right now they are listed for $6.50 for dangle earrings.

Basically to make them, you just take some ecru clay and burnt umber (I used Premo! but any type of clay would work). Make a elongated strand about 1 1/2" long. Roll them out and place them on top of each other. Roll them up into a roll. Use some orange chalk pastel and brush it on the roll to give it a baked look. Stick a headpin or eye pin through one side and out the other. Next take TLS (translucent liquid sculpey) and mix it with a little white chalk pastel. Pour that over your rolls and play with it until you like how it looks. Finally bake your roll based on the packages directions and once it done brush a layer of glaze over it and enjoy! Hopefully later I will be able to provide photos or at least a better explanation.
