Polymer Clay

Fimo and clay tips and tutorials

I’ll Fly Away in Glory

angelkitty.jpgOkay it’s Friday, feet back on the ground please!  It’s time for a little polymer clay goofiness. 

Calling all angels: spend some time this weekend earning your wings or rather creating them with these polymer clay projects that I’ve scrounged up from various internet archives.

First is Angel Kitty by Kris Richards, don’t you won’t one for your fridge?  Perhaps a little reminder to be good when you open the door. Okay, maybe you’ll replace that halo with horns.

angelwing.jpgI think this angel wing project by Linda Hess has some rather sublime potential. I could see this sliced up and used as charms on a necklace or a few thin slices of the cane as earrings.  I may even try this one!

And even more feathery goodness:

Dona Kato’s Feather Cane

Jean Sheppard’s Gertsch Feather Cane

The Old Canes Feather, also from Jean, is a quite a clever way to recycle your old canes.

I’d love to see some your inspired winged creations.  Post a link in the comments section to share them.

Remember: “Every time a toaster oven bell rings, an angel gets their wings!”  Happy creating and I’ll see you back here on Monday.

Etsy Feature – DIY Face Planter Pottery Template

Quirky, fun, and full of personality—this DIY Face Planter Pottery Template is the kind of project that makes everyone smile. Planters are already a favorite for potters because they’re so versatile, but when you add a playful face into the mix? You’ve got a conversation starter, a gift idea, and a cheerful addition to your home all in one.

What It Is

This template guides you step-by-step in slab-building a face-shaped planter. You’ll get the form sorted out easily, leaving all the creativity in the decorating stage—think glasses, freckles, funny noses, bright lips, or even exaggerated cartoon features. It’s essentially a blank canvas with character built right in.

Why It’s Fun and Functional

  • Customizable: Each planter can be as unique as the person making it—no two faces will ever be the same. 
  • Beginner-Friendly: Templates take away the guesswork, letting you focus on the fun. 
  • Gift-Worthy: Perfect as a handmade present for plant lovers or anyone who loves whimsical décor. 
  • Practical: A planter you’ll actually use, not just display. 

Creative Ideas for Your Planter

  • Add bright glazes to create bold personalities. 
  • Use matte neutrals for a more modern, sculptural look. 
  • Give each face a “hairstyle” with trailing plants like string of pearls, ferns, or succulents. 
  • Try a family set—different faces for different family members or moods. 

Why You’ll Love This Project

This planter template is more than just pottery—it’s playful art. The finished piece brings life and laughter into any space, and because you can customize it endlessly, it’s the kind of project you’ll want to make again and again.

You can find it here: DIY Face Planter Pottery Template on Etsy.

This post is part of my Etsy Feature series, where I highlight clay templates, tools, and creative projects that make pottery fun, approachable, and full of charm. This one is especially delightful because it gives you permission to play and be silly with your clay.
