Here's a black and white kaleidoscope cane polymer clay pendant I made back in 2018. Can you spot the heart shape that I built the pattern round?

I made this little bowl about 13 years ago, it popped up in photo memories so I thought I'd share it as it's still a favourite.

This time last year I was working on this project with @puppetsinprague as part of their Online Automata course.
The ghosts, skulls and bones all glow in the dark 👻
Wishing you all a playful happy Halloween! 🎃

I'm busy getting ready for Totterdown Arts Trail next month but here's a seasonal automaton I made a while ago and hadn't shared. The bones and the ghost all glow in the dark 😁

Wonderful Wood- Marquetry the easy way! Workshop in the Netherlands 27/28 September 2025.
We will make faux polymer clay wood. Then explore two different techniques: using the ‘wood’ to make a 3D block cane and cutting patterns from thin strips of the ‘wood’.

I've always loved automata so it was inevitable that from sculpture I moved on to moving sculpture! Pecking chicken - polymer clay and mini tea tin. #polymerclay #automaton #automata #kineticart

I started sculpting with polymer clay in 2021 taking a fish workshop with Adam Thomas Rees. It took me 6 months to finish. He was a lot of work but I'm pleased how he turned out.
It was great to use canes in a different way!

I started my polymer clay journey with miniatures for my Sindy dolls then started making beads and jewellery predominantly with canes. I love making canes! Here is another of my favourite canes made up into some bold earrings.
