When I went to Japan for the first time ever about 5 years ago, I fell in love with some Kokeshi Dolls.
Kokeshi dolls are handmade using wood and hand painted. Some of the designs I were were so cute, so eventually it inspired me to design my own drawings and have them printed onto acrylic.
I decided to turn some of these charms into phone straps to see how they looked.
I wouldn't say I am the best at designing but I have so much fun so I guess it doesn't matter what the end results look like.
What do you think? Good? Bad? I welcome all feedback because it'll make me work harder!

Polymer Clay Work in Progress
I should try and be a little better at updating this blog!
I have currently learnt a new technique with polymer clay and played around with it yesterday to make some pendants.
Here's a picture of them so far (I'm still waiting for the resin to dry):
The colour combinations are endless, now I just need to buy more clay colours! These were made using Premo Polymer Clay. I like Premo since it is softer than the other clays and doesn't make my hands ache as much when I condition them.

Tomato Felt Phone Charm
Here's another felt phone charm that I whipped up in 10 minutes, I was going to make it an apple but then I got lazy so it has since turned into a tomato! This one was given to my lovely lil sis as a present.
