Polymer Clay Color Recipes | Vintage Ornaments | Christmas Theme
Brown Gingham Shirt | Suede Boots | Rusty Yarn Hair | Retro Green Hat:
Merry Christmas Everyone! Here's a little color inspiration from the 60's for you! The picture is of a vintage Christmas ornament from when my husband (Doug) was a little boy. It always adds wonderful nostalgia to our Christmas tree and to our family holiday festivities.
Being born in the 60's myself, I have a soft spot for these "retro" items. What a darling little guy. Don't you just love his outfit in those funky 60's colors?
I sure do! So much so, I got inspired to make up some more polymer clay recipes for you. The colors remind me of Christmas' past and of the magic I felt during Christmas as a kid.
The following clay color recipes will be added to the Members Library shortly:
- Brown Gingham Shirt
- Suede Boots
- Rusty Yarn Hair
- Retro Green Hat
Have a very Merry Christmas! Thank you so much for sharing your time and ideas here at this blog and I look forward to a bright new year of creativity together!

Thank you Cindy! It was a pretty nice holiday! Got to spend time with both sides of the family, and spend lots of time with the kids. We had absolutely tons of snow and our first White Christmas in decades. Hope you had a great Christmas as well! You certainly deserve it too!!

Cindy you sure did bring back memories! I was born before 1960 so remember this style well. Thanks for the reminder. I hope you had a great Christmas. Mine was, I got to see my son and family from Kentucky. We haven't seen each other in months. So it was a nice treat.
Thanks for the comment on my site. I do enjoy your site very much.

I am starting to make my Christmas ornaments… I baked 2 … they are snowmen heads on a white disk… you know so I can personalize them with names… the heads are fine but the clay disks are brownish like they were starting to burn… and I want the glazed shiny look to the whole ornament… how do I fix these 2 problems?
Thank you,
Debra
