These are some of the decorations I had a lot of fun making this Christmas. Some of them have baroque elements while others have art nouveau elements.

Christmas Part 2 - Painted pieces
Here are the rest of the creations I was preparing for Christmas. I tried to avoid most of the Christmas-ish themes that are everywhere and just painted whatever I felt like it but there are some of them that are definitely Christmas-ish.

Christmas stuff - Polymer clay pieces
I haven't done anything for the blog lately but I was away for a few months and quite busy with work. I've managed to do some work since I've got home. Fortunately, I've been spending time at my parents house so no chores for me, which means more time for crafts. I've been painting more jewelry and done a few new polymer clay pieces. For now I will show you the polymer clay pieces.

The Scarlet Siren
I've been doing more and more sculptures lately. I'm trying to improve my technique so that I create better faces. However, it hasn't been a constant thing as I have little to no time due to special orders and work. Hopefully I will be able to start making more exact sculptures this summer.
I wanted to create a pendant that was both feminine and rough. I thought the Scarlet Siren was an appropriate name for it. I will be adding it soon to my Etsy shop.

Watercolor!!
I haven't used watercolor since 7th grade or something and I was browsing on YouTube and saw so many people painting beautiful things using this medium I thought I should give it a try. I use acrylics when I paint on plastic or wood but I never used watercolor.
So I grabbed the cheapest brand as I wouldn't want to invest too much in this new-found hobby and started painting. I had a lot of fun doing it! I'm going to try new techniques. I already bought a few books on the matter and I hope I have the time to learn more.
Of course, I'm not amazing at it but I wasn't trying to paint anything realistic.

A bit of Sculpting
I've been sculpting for a while now trying to get better at it by practicing it as much as I can. I've done lots of research and bought a few classes online but I still have a LOT to learn.
Here are two of the things I've been making, one is in progress and I'm trying to combine materials and stuff in the future so it will have a different look and the other a cured little sculpture but still in progress because I haven't figured out what to do with it (I know it's going to be a brooch).
