GUESS WHO'S BACK...BACK AGAIN...





Long time no see!

Although I’m  rather not ‘New Year’s Resolutions’ person (mostly because of waaaay too many failures especially on diet & working out front ;) ) I took some time to properly set few goals for 2015 and hopefully - by the end of this year - transform them into accomplishments. Blogging was definitely in the top 10 things ‘to do’. 


I used to run a blog way back in 2010/11 when my polymer clay skills were rather questionable and Instagram probably didn’t even exist hehe. At the time I knew absolutely nothing about photography and Photoshop. I didn’t own a proper camera and I definitely didn’t expect to have a YouTube channel with over 50 000 subscribers from all over the world! (crazy!)


That blog was deleted long time ago  for good reasons and I created this one in 2013 as a new beginning. I regret not having time to write posts in past but I hope that 2015 will be productive in that matter. I look forward to share here with you 'behind the scenes' of making my polymer clay creations as well as some random stuff. 


Wish you all the best for 2015 (better late than never) and thank you for your support!


Love, Agnieszka

Happy Easter card tutorial

Hi everyone!

As this blog ment to be not only about polymer clay crafts but DIY and random projects I decided to make something different - Easter card tutorial.

A few weeks ago I saw on one of my favourite pages - Pinterest (which researching quickly becomes my daily routine:) cute bunnies water paint.I was quite sceptical about doing something not clay related, esspecialy that last time I was painting something was so soooo long time ago, that I honestly couldn't remember.Anyways, I bought some cheap watercolors and brushes and fun begun!

Hope you're gonna find this tutorial helpful and inspiring.It's sad that nowadays tradition of sending holidays cards becomes more and more forgotten.I love sending cards as well as receiving them especially when they're handmade.It's not about making them perfect.It's just a way of telling your family and friends that you wish them all the best.The thing which is the most important is that you put an effort to make for them something special.

Have fun! :)


For this project you're gonna need:

- watercolors
- yellow cardboard size A4
- piece of green cardboard (I use one with white polka dots)
- one sheet of watercolors paper (I have size A4 but if you have A5 it would be     even easier)
- glue
- white permanent marker
- black permanent marker
- scissors
- pencil and eraser 
- ruler

Let's go!


1. Firstly, prepare yellow cardboard by bending it in half.


2. Do the same with sheet of watercolors paper to get auxiliary line and just cut it in the half.






3. Take one half of watercolors paper sheet and using ruler cut away 5cm from width and 4cm from lenght.The rectangle which you get will be the base for our water paint.




4. Using pencil prepare outline of our rabbit. Using it draw the final shape.




5. Now prepare watercolors and paint brushes.



6. Your sketch before painting should look like this.




  7. Now just start to paint:)






8. When you're finish painting and your paint dry take black permanent marker and make contour.



9. Glue your rabbit paint to yellow cardboard base. Leave about 4 cm for inscription.


10. Take a piece of green paper (13cm/3cm) and draw grass outline with the pencil.Then take scissors and cut the grass shape.




11. Now glue grass to the card.


12. Take white permanent marker and write "Happy Easter".

 
 
 13. Now take black permanent marker and make some shading.




And it's ready! Hope you'll like it.





Have great rest of the day! If you like it please subscribe. Love, This Charming Stuff <3

Apple halves key rings tutorial & first trades ever:)

Hello guys!

Well, it was very veeery busy week.I've planed to upload new tutorial before Valentine's day but fortunately (sic) opportunity to take part in my first trades at Alternative Fest in Cracow came along.I had only five days to prepare all charming stuff as well as business cards,banner,decor and all that jazz...Yes, it was stressful and crazy but totally worth the effort!It was one day festival which combined fashion/design and music.From 12-6 P.M. visitors had a chance to buy some of mostly handmade stuff (including this charming stuff of course) then organizers prepared something for electronic music fans - gig of APPARAT/ Shitkatapult, BPitch Control, Mute, K7/ Berlin,Chmara Winter live,Harrison Chord LIVE,ZoLvIK,Meg Cocaine & Senthia b2b.






To be honest I had no idea how people would respond to my bizzare jewellery but I was absolutely shocked by the positive reactions.People come to my stand  with compliments and so many nice opinions.It was absolutely amazing experience.I was really surprised that even males bought some of my inedible sweets;)




So that's my little explanation why I've uploaded Valentine's Day project on 15th of February:) Hope you don't mind it.I guess this apple project might be also good idea for anniversary,birthday or just ordinary gift for special someone:) 




Hope you'll find it useful and fun.Have great rest of the day and please remember to subscribe to this blog as well as my youtube chanel.Thanx!

Cheers,This Charming Stuff <3
