For August our members focused on decorative items for the home. They could
create anything inspired by the theme as long as the
entries contained 50% polymer clay.
Vote for your favorites. Three lucky voters will be chosen in a drawing to win a gift certificate from one of our

1. Tea Pot for One by Berit of
ClayImages
A little tea pot for your tea party for one! This is my entry
into the PCAGOE August challenge "Home Decor". Spiral canes make this
tea pot fun and special. It's decorative as well as usable.
2. Balinese Silver Inspired Tea Pot by Lisa of HiGirls
This teapot was created with
lots of black and burgundy clay and silver mica powders. The faux
stones have a crackle of gold leaf.

3. Black & Purple Stone Prism Sculpture No. 143 by Susan of
11BOLDstreet
Purely for display, this faux
stone polymer sculpture serves no useful purpose, except as luxurious
eye-candy in your home decor scheme. Oh, and you will want to pick it up
and handle it, too - it's silky-smooth to the touch!

Pink Double Switchplate with Ribbon Pattern by Marcia of
marcymPC
A single switch plate in an abstract pattern with lilac and pale
orange or beige and black inclusions, giving the impression of ribbons
and bows. A randomized cane was sliced and laid out in a kaleidoscopic
pattern on backing clay to create the design.

Summertime by Brenda of BeeJWilson
.. and the living is easy. I
brighten up the bath in the summertime, and try to bring some outdoor
beauty indoors. This soap dish and lotion dispenser are the perfect fix
to do just that. The soap dish is made from the center section of a
bright green wine bottle, cut in strips, then fused together in a grid
pattern. I then slumped that over a bowl mold. I laid polymer clay
inside the bowl and trimmed it all with butterscotch to accent the edge
pattern. The lotion dispenser was once a salsa jar, covered with
polymer clay to coordinate with the soap dish.
6. Cheery Songbirds Decorative Ornaments by Marie Young of YoungCreative
These songbirds began their lives as chicken eggs. They were laid by a well-educated chicken on a farm near me owned by a university dean. I sculpted playful polymer details over the hollowed-out egg shells. The bright color was achieved with polymer clay tinted with alcohol ink. The extra details in the wings and tail-feathers are really precious.

Winged Creature with Beady Eyes Night Light by Betsy of
PolyClayCafe
I've
been on a night light kick lately, having lots of fun with translucent
polymer clay (liquid and solid) and alcohol inks. So I knew I would
make a night light. I made two for the challenge and this was the one I
decided to enter in the challenge. The finished product is a large 5"
tall x 4 1/2" wide by 1 1/2" deep. For how this creature evolved and for more views visit my blog post at

10. Peace Dove Mosaic Cross by Arlene of Ashpaints
The
focal tile of this cross mosaic is a Peace Dove. Each tile in this
inspirational piece is handmade and impressed with deeply etched stamps.
After curing, a combination of antiquing mediums, acrylic paints and
metallic wax is used to enhance and highlight the designs. The wooden
form is the only part of this piece that is not handmade of polymer
clay.

14. Revolving Bottle Stopper Art Display by Jill Stone of
Beautified Essentials
Some wine connoisseurs collect
bottle stoppers and have them on display in their house. I have had fun
making over 1,500 bottle stoppers over the past 2.5 years and selling
them in olive oil and vinegar stores, wine stores, and wineries across
Colorado and New Mexico. My new stopper designs have different art on
each side of the chrome stopper- there are 30 stoppers on this display.
You can take a closer look at my designs in my other Flickr pictures.
