Crafty Clay Shoppe Customers...

Look what "dedesjewelrybox's" created with our molds. These stunning pieces are crafted from Silver PMC (Precious metal clay) which she forms, using our molds and then dries, sands, fires and polishes for a shine that only this purest of silvers can give.





This artist has done a remarkable job and we look forward to seeing more from her!

A gif for Helena Bonham Carter....

This is our entry into Creepy Queen Magazine's celebrity gift basket. "Lilith", an embellished antique French apothecary bottle, (we even custom made the black velvet wrap)is being presented to Ms. Carter. As Kathy and I are both fans, we are just thrilled and hope she enjoys it!
