ANNOUNCEMENT - NEW! And A Sneak Peek! Handmade Jewellry Making Supplies

Yes it has been a while Since posting anything new At my shop blog. Please LIKE my ABC Facebook page to keep up to date on news and behind the scenes. Here's my Etsy Shop Link too.

So today, I want to announce Something brand-new. If you follow my Creativity blog, "HeArtfully Creating", Then you know that I love Working with Polymer clay. It takes a long time To create beautiful pieces. Of course all work is done Out of love. The intention is Every time I make beads or jewelry components, That I will be making jewelry out of those creations. Turns out, I enjoy making the components So much so, That I haven't actually been creating  jewelry pieces as much as I had planned on in the beginning. It's kind of like an addiction I guess. Every time I sit down, ha ha- I Use wheelchair so I'm hours sitting down 😊 - And begin to create some new Beads, pendants or dangles, etc, I can't seem to stop trying Different Colours, Variations, And shapes. Which now means, I have a large collection of handmade beads.

And as I admire my recent Autumn leaf dangles, that I originally envisioned being some sort of bracelet or necklace, the thought came to me... Why let  all these Unique and beautiful pieces keep building up and being unused? Why not Sell them in my shop? There are many great jewelry artists out there, who have the passion and drive to make their own Handmade artisan jewellry, And prefer to purchase Artisan be made by other artists. I have done it myself, Before I began working in polymer clay. The majority of my life's been spent making two-dimensional art on canvas or paper. Then I delved into jewelry

making in 2008, A few years ago I began working in Three-dimensions Using polymer clay. Like I said,  originally, hoping to make polymer clay jewelry out of my own beads. I do have some pieces in my Shop As you can see, But I seem to really enjoy painting with Clay so much that I run out of time to make as much  Jewelry as I wanted to. And because my physical health, Isn't what it used to be- My productivity time Has been sliced in half. So makes sense To focus on What I enjoy the most, When I'm able to do it.

No, it doesn't mean I won't be making anymore, But is just something Extra I can do, to offer Limited additions Of my Handmade artisan beads for sale. , But do you have time to make some incredible jewelry pieces.

What makes jewelry extra special, Aside from Art pieces being one-of-a-kind- Is when the beads are also one-of-a-kind And cannot be found anywhere else.

So effective today, I am listening my first handmade polymer clay Jewelry making Components. These really beautiful Autumn leaves, (I am calling

them "Mighty Oakly") that I originally created, Then made a mold for it, and now have a limited number of them. Once they're sold, that will be it. I may make more but in a different colour. How cool is that?

Sneak Peek! This will be my first set of handmade bead dangles: Original- Limited edition of my original "oak" leaf design- will be available as me

So here are some of my bead collections. No, not all I am sharing will be listed for sale because I really do hope to transform them into jewellery.

New! MANY RIVERS - Handmade Polymer Clay and Silk and Chiffon Sari Ribbon Multi Strand Necklace

Many Rivers Necklace- Just listed in my Etsy Shop- A Bergie Creation!

I have been really enjoying making polymer clay tube beads so much that my collection has been increasing more and more. Which means I just admire them but had not turned any of them into jewellery pieces. That was until this week. I really love ocean blues and greens and that is what this piece is all about. As well, I got to incorporate silk and chiffon sari ribbons! The necklace has a sari ribbon that can be tied to adjust it's length. Just click here to see more in my shop!

Been A While...Some New Pieces To Come!

 Sorry, it has been a while since posting anything new. My computer broke down and that meant transition time. Learning to use a laptop for me has been trying. But, here I am finally. Just wanted to start by sharing the link to the beautiful multi strand polymer clay and glass bead necklace. It was featured as a Sneak Peek a way back and as life happened, computer croaked, I never got to post that actual listing in my Etsy Shop. So here it is (just click here to go there!)

I am excited to dive back into sharing and listing some new pieces that I have  been working on over these past months. Make sure to subscribe if you want to be the first to see anything new at A Bergie Creation.

Happy Customers, Make Me Happy...

"Painting" with polymer clay has been a newly acquired skill that I have fallen in love with as anyone would know if they read my HeArtfully Creating blog about creativity. As a visual artist, I always painted with acrylics, coloured pencils, and such. Once I was blessed with being able to work in this excellent, colourful bold medium, it opened up a world that instantly appealed to my past desire to  work in three dimensions.

My Etsy Shop, A Bergie  Creation, has been open since 2008 and it wasn't until 2015, when I began adding handmade jewelry made from polymer clay. So it goes without saying, how thrilled I am to have sold two out of the three, multi-strand necklaces I had/have for sale in my shop. The beads are hand rolled (no special devices to help) and designed by me. There are a few accent beads not made by me, but the majority are polymer clay creations.

I am even more thrilled to have a happy customer let me know that the necklace looked just as great in real life as it did in the photos posted in my Etsy Shop.  As an artist and shop owner, it is always inspiring and encouraging to receive photos and feedback about your work. After all, artists are often, their own worst critics. I wanted to share the beautiful photo they took for me. As a bonus, it is even more exciting to have my pieces sold overseas. I get to say that my handmade jewelry is scattered around the world and pretty much every state in the USA and most of my homeland, Canada. Way cool!
More to Come...
I have been diligently working on new bead designs so I can create new line of spring and summer jewelry pieces. It has been a wonderful way to spend winter. Knowing people like your pieces definitely helps inspiring me to pursue this beautiful medium. Here are a couple of quick photos showing a wee bit of the process to creating my polymer clay jewelry.

A snapshot of a gorgeous Mokumegane  design, created to make new beads for spring/summer pieces.
