My Clay Investments

I am, again, so much grateful for being able to purchase several tools that I can use for claying.

The materials on the first photo were purchased online. I got the 7pcs Kemper Circle Cutter Set, Kato Polyclay, E6000 adhesive, Pearlex and The Beadlady Sparklers. I've decided to get some mica powders from both Pearlex and The Beadlady Sparklers so I can see the difference between the two. Hopefully, I will also be able to blog about it too. The Wilton cutters on the other hand were purchased from the mall. 

I also got some pre-loved, but only used once, 21g Pearlex Brilliant Gold color, Sculpey Antiquing - - I have the warm white now I have the chocolate brown too plus a pair of Oval and Circle Kemper-like cutters. I just wasn't able to take pictures of them =( Nevertheless, I sure am glad I bought them! Cheap good finds are really hard to find, you know? ☺

I am still waiting for the 3 Cameo molds I got online for only P100+ each plus 2 more great craft books! Lucky lucky lucky me for finding really affordable stuff!

Oh and please don't get me wrong, the previous weeks were not spent on spending spree alone... If you only knew, I try as much as I can to hold myself up from spending. But since I turned a year older and I know that nothing else could make me more happier than crafting essentials, I decided to give in. ♥

The crafting tools were actually used the moment I got them. For the past weeks, I have been too busy putting into practice everything I have learned from my first ever workshop with Rocky.

using the clay from our factory, NENDO.

If you look at the clay closely you will notice just how fine it is even with just several rolls from the pasta machine! I love using this clay because it is very easy to knead plus it is super flexible after baking! With this clay, I am sure that my clay creations will last longer! More of NENDO creations here.

I am so happy for my purchases because I was able to make good use of them. And with the upcoming gift giving season, I am sure to be using them a lot more often!

I am getting hooked on this so much that I've actually stopped working with my hooks and yarns. But of course I won't totally be leaving crochet because it is still one of my greatest loved amongst all crafts! ♥
