Claying around.....

Go me! 3 days posting in a row....... lol......
Today I wanted to share some of my polymer clay makes with you.
I've loved all things 'Borrower' since I was a little girl, so fairy and Borrower doors have been getting made for a long time.
But a few years ago I started making 'Angel doors' they are little doors, made in white (sometimes with a little colour too). They go in your home and are a connection to a loved one who is no longer here on the Earth but is in Heaven.
I've made a few for Angel babies, friends, family and partners. Everyone is very special to me.
Here are 2 that I made over the summer,

 Then there is the other side to playing with clay..... I love making little critters....... I've got so many ideas of things I want to make and do, just need to the extra 24 hours a day to be able to do it all.....

Clay is a fantastic medium to create with and can be used for sooooo many different styles of projects.
I've got some more Angel doors to make this week (hopefully my hand gets better soon to allow me to do some crafting).... then it will be time to start with the Christmas gifts and decorations...... need to at least make a start on them!
Have a crafty day, whatever you are getting up to.

Happy crafting

For a special 'Wee Angel'

Today is a day of reflection for me, I have 2 funerals to attend.
The first one this morning is for an angel baby who was just not meant to walk on this Earth - he has gone to play with his big brother and watch over his family.
The second is the other end of life, a grandmother who was a light for every life she touched. You didn't even have to meet her to know how special and loved this lady was and still is.
Alzheimers may have been there and challenged those who cared for her in the end, but it never took away her light. There was so much laughter, right to the end.
And it is from the sadness of her passing that the project I want to share with you comes from.
So from the pain of the moment, a little bit of light would come back and eventually, I hope that this will bring the smile of a memory.
I have made fairy doors before and anyone who knows me, knows just how much I love all things Borrowerish..... I love the thought of the tiny little people living among us, unseen and unheard...
Well, this is my angel door...... an angel door is for the angels who have left us to know they are always welcome in our house - a doorway between them and us.
Every time you look at it, your angel will know you are thinking of them, that they are loved and missed very much.
I loved making this and will be making more. Each one will be different and unique, and have a name that is personal to the story behind it and the person who is now the angel.
It's a real work of love as carpal tunnel does not like clay! lol.....
Here are the pics,

 

 This is the little charm that I made to go with the door.

I'd love to know what you think of it.
