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.

ABC YouTube DIY Channel Pick of the Week!

Crafts Are Cool!

I love watching DIYs especially art making,  crafty and review type ones. As a middle aged female, I too enjoy sharing what I love to do in video format as well. However, I admit, to record, edit and produce tutorials or videos of any sort, takes time. It isn't as easy as many think. That is why I was super impressed with a channel I discovered last night during my usual YT surfing. I was trying to understand what "decoden" was.  Lo and behold, I began watching this video...listen to her great enthusiasm and very clear directions....

Her channel is called: Crafts Are Cool! There are a lot of youthful craft making enthusiasts who love making YT tutorials. Crafts Are Cool has such a bright, cheery and enjoyable attitude and personality, I found myself watching more than just a couple of her videos. No, I didn't need to learn how to make what she was making, I just really enjoyed the heart in her videos. I may be old enough to be her Grandmother, but I really was impressed and wanted to share her channel with anyone of any age. Refreshing and fun! Thanks Crafts Are Cool! Keep up the great work! Happy Crafting.

I assume they did share the same blog page as requested with at least ten or more of their friends or more, on one of either social media accounts Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Tumbler or Google+

The Winner of over $150.00 value of my handmade jewelry is...ShawneePach !!! Yay! Congratulations! Thank you!!
