I've had my Etsy shop for several years, since 2009, and haven't ever listed anything in it. But I was determined that this year would be different, I have goals to meet and this was one of them. At this time there are several handcrafted polymer clay creations for sale. Below is a sample of my sculpted miniatures. Go over and check out my new online shop.

Copper Guitar
Copper Guitar
Metalwork by Brian Hughes
Textured copper by Rick Novito
The story starts with a request from Rick to Brian for help to fabricate a copper counter top. Rick, a talented woodworker, was making a hutch for his home and wanted to put a textured copper top on the counter, letting it age naturally. Brian asked Rick to purchase the copper for him to fabricate into the counter.
After quite some time, Rick called Brian back to let him know he was ready. He finished hammering the copper and was ready for it to be formed into the counter top. Rick's arm was sore and it took forever to texture the copper. Brian gasped, knowing the copper was suppose to be textured after being adhered to the counter. He asked Rick what the copper looked like. After finding out that it was all rippled Brian informed Rick that he had jumped into altering the surface too soon, he was to texture the metal after it was attached to the surface of the hutch. In a effort to save it, they worked the metal, rolling it through rollers, heating it, rolling it some more but there was no saving this counter top.
Rick finished his hutch, covering the top with marble so his mother could make ravioli. The copper sat in Rick's basement from then on and was a running joke whenever they spoke. Every now and then, Brian would ask Rick, what about the copper....what are you going to do with it.
Unfortunately Rick passed away, the copper was still in his basement years later, aging naturally. Rick's mother, Gloria, requested that Brian make something from the copper. As a tribute to Rick and his talent as a musician, Brian used the copper counter top to make this guitar. Rick loved playing music. The texture on the surface of the guitar is the hard work of Rick Novito. The fabrication of the copper into the guitar is the hard work of Brian Hughes, my husband.

Button Bracelets and Necklace
Look at the bracelets and necklace created from buttons. A few weeks ago my friend asked me if I would like some buttons. Of course, I said yes. There is something inside of me that loves buttons, maybe it comes from my early days when sewing was my passion or maybe it was from looking through button jars at my grandmothers house. I don't know what it is, but there is just something intoxicating about buttons. Campfire will be using the extra buttons at summer camp for incentives. Today has been fun, creating something different from my clay creations. Now don't get me wrong, my mind was wandering off to clay land while I was making my button creations, thinking about ways to incorporate the two. I'll put it on my bucket list.
