Week #1 of the 2016 PC Challenge

I signed up (VERY late) for the 2015 Polymer Clay Retreat.  The big appeal to me was the suncatcher tutorial by Chris who is artistically touted under Mandarin Moon.  I don't think there is one thing she's posted that I haven't just loved, so I was thrilled to be able to learn from her.  She showed us a lot of techniques to make different textures all from PC.  I am still obsessed with using these techniques, and so I made a box for a co-worker who had been so kind to share some supplies with me and who showed interest in my crafts.   It's my first item completed in 2016, so it's the Week #1 submittal for the #2016PCchallenge

It's a little wooden box from AC Moore that I covered in Premo polymer clay.  The three items on top are glass beads that she had given to me.  I used a bit of Inka Gold to accent some places on the gold clay and then added a bit of Stickles to a couple of places for a bit of glitter.  My co-worker just loved it, and I loved making it.  

I suspect you'll see more of these types of boxes in 2016.  Hope you like them!
