Claychicks Boutique

As we’re wandering our way through Spring, I got asked for a lot more rose canes - so this boxful that went onto Etsy has quite a few of those even if it’s not what I picked for my top 3 favourites:

My other Claychick-half is busily rearranging her boxes of canes, reducing what she can and making grab bags up of smaller pieces (and bigger ones for those who wanted some larger sections). It’s a good way for her to stick to light duty - reducing canes can be a strain on a wrist in pain - and still get in on the clay fun.

This half the ‘chix finally got the good weather thing going. Shorts and flip flop days ahead.

So the ebay auctions have some cheerful bright flowers up this week - this set from Carolyn and I is one of them:

There’s also this bright set of six petal flowers:

Our Ebay this week has some flowers. Very surprising I’m sure! Carolyn has a listing of her wildflowers mixed with a few bright summer colors:

And I have a listing of the coffee toned flowers with a winged visitor, my new cabbage white butterfly cane:

Catchy title huh? This has to do with this ebay set, which has the popular coffee, cream and turquoise hues and this set on ebay which has roses… and bees. If you like your morning caffeine with a little less buzz there’s always this pretty black and white set with one striking crimson rose:

What have these got to do with each other? Not much. Except that somewhere in our artist brains, we ended up with clay canes of all of these. And that’s what we’ve got on Ebay this week.

Carolyn named the cat in this set Fred. And now it’s stuck in my head. Anyways, Fred likes to chase bugs as my cats did so the set has some flowers and ferns for Fred to chase a bee through.

My other Ebay set is a sampler of pastel roses. Just like having a box of crayons.

And for some good ol’ eye candy we have the last pack - for this season at least - of Carolyn’s pansies:

In Claychicks Canadian branch, we’ve had a comedy of errors and frustrations the last few weeks. Not all bad but the distinct feeling that Murphy does indeed love us and pay attention. Sometimes I wish I had another patron saint.

That said, half of my stuff got to Caro’s place the other day so is now trickling it’s way onto Ebay and Etsy. There’s this sweet set of roses, a sharp set of canes in blue or the striking black and white set here:

The climate for this half of the Claychicks Coop is notably odd - we had snow until late last week and we may again. It’s been nice this week though so here’s hoping it really is Spring! Carolyn’s half of the coop seems to be in the same boat, hoping that it really is Spring.

On that hopeful note she made up a bouquet of wildflowers for our Ebay offering of the week:

She tells me that this is echinacea (purple coneflower! see? I’m learning!), sunflower, daisy, some accent flowers and a leaf cane. She made a sweet set of tiles with these that you can see on our Flickr. We’ve also got a stack of canes on Etsy.
