Hi Mers ^_^,

As you may have seen around here (on the occasion perhaps) I have an etsy which stocks items of the adorable ocean kind made from polymer clay. More pictures of work and commisions are posted onto our facebook page.

Apologies now for the small photo dump

Couple of pictures of the most recent creations

I also made a business card holder for my friend and one for myself, for when we attend markets ^_^ (hers is not currently pictured, but it is movie themed with popcorn and film reel)

Hopefully tonight the construction process for these Christmas ornaments will be completed, as this guy is a little too have to sit nicely on a tree branch.

Any questions I'd be happy to answer <3

How pretty! ♡ I really love the octopus on the shell and the business card holder! Maybe if I can start getting gigs I'll commission you to make me some small props. c:

I would be thrilled to ^_^

:D thank you. People asked me for cards and I'm like " they're at the front" their response mostly was "I thought that was part of the table set"

Those made me smile. Actually put a smile on my face! Do you have a Tumblr? I'd repost your contest.

Kassandra, Galene and Coradion: Thank you so much ^_^, cute is always good especially at markets where it attracts little kids who pull their parents along :P

Starfish, Aww YAY!! I don't have a Tumblr, could never really get into it, but I do have an Instagram #hippocampuscreations

Side note with the pic above, I will post to anywhere in the world :)

^_^. I had a plastic one but it just didn't feel like me not to make one and to have it fit in with the rest of my table at markets :P

If they are resin I wouldn't suspect a problem occurring from going under [water]
They are very pretty though.
If I may ask, what is in the top one?

Ilyena
03-12-2015, 05:04 PM
They are resin, and one test one has been coated in a sealant, but just to make sure really :)

The top one is dried baubly type algae.

I know this one isn't ocean related but it's too awesome not to share. Biggest clay project to date!!

If the bracelets are resin, the only problem you might have is that the sealant might flake or peel off. You don't need to seal resin, you can use resin to seal things!

Pearlie: that is true but sometimes it still holds finger prints and make the exterior cloudy :(

Rouge: OMG your dog is adorable, must have quite a bit of patience and trust to keep that on.

Wow, all of your creations are absolutely awesome! I love all of the little details you put in! I'll definitely buy a cuttlefish off you if you make one, my friend loves them (he calls them cuddlefish) and it would make the perfect present!

Ilyena
08-25-2015, 08:53 AM
Thank you .
How cute ^_^, they look cuddly, until you get to the beak lol. I do have a listing for a cuttlefish on my etsy, its made to order so which ever colour you prefer. Though I think I have a purple, blue and a dark red in my market boxes.

I can't believe I missed those! I just ordered one from you :)

Those reef shots are adorable! Clever idea. And that Toothless dog; what a stitch!

Ilyena

Out of all the colours I have I don't have grey :/...I'll go pick some up tomorrow and should have it posted in friday.

Thank you Galene

Yeah I was getting worried too, it only showed up this afternoon! Aus Post are so annoying!

Ilyena

Yet sometimes they can surprise you. Sometimes.

Ohhh Coral shots now have an addition. This one is Glow-in-the-Dark Jellyfish. Really hard to get a good picture since the camera wants to focus on the bubbles lol.
