Her name is Kimberly and she makes Tentacle Infested Cupcake Charms; Pink Death-By-Chocolate<\/span><!--more--><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> Focal Beads; One-Eyed Space Elephant Necklaces; Industrial Steampunk Hearts; and many more appropriately named polymer clay delights. You can see more of her creations at the <a href=\"http:\/\/monsterkookies.com\/\" class=\"external external_icon\" target=\"_blank\">Monster Kookies<\/a> website as well as on Etsy.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Kimberly is a Canadian schooled chef turned polymer clay artist with a twisted sense of humor and a unique sense of design. Her work is so crazy cool. She combines her passion for cake decorating with her demented love of horror films, to create truly one of a kind polymer clay jewelry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I love her sense of confidence to go where most polymer clay artists would fear to tread! It takes a &#8220;special&#8221; kind of person to come up with cupcake charms that look like brains, tentacles and intestines&#8230; or strawberry cookies with gory slash marks!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Obviously her style won&#8217;t appeal to everyone. But because of her passion and commitment, I&#8217;m sure she has a following of customers that absolutely love everything she creates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/2009-05\/30-monster-kookies-steampunk-heart.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Monster Kookies Steampunk Heart\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" align=\"left\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">My personal favorites from Kimberly&#8217;s collection are the anatomically correct hearts and the industrial hearts which have a very popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/steampunk-fashion-jewelry-polymer-clay\/68\/\">steampunk<\/a> look to them. They are very intricate and detailed. Bet young doctors and nurses would love to wear these!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> [RELATED ARTICLE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/selling-jewelry-to-niche-markets-polymer-clay-bead-making-tips\/1202\/\">Selling Jewelry to Niche Markets<\/a>]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The neat thing about the Monster Kookie jewelry line, is that although it is twisted and spooky, the pieces are also really cute! The kind of stuff a teen (or a playful 42 year old) would love to wear!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Besides being fun, Kimberly&#8217;s polymer clay jewelry is also expertly made. This is quality stuff. Well designed and nicely finished. She uses two coats of baked-on varathane for durability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/handmade-packaging-handmade-beaded-jewelry-beads\/4155\/\">packaging<\/a> is excellent and shipping costs are reasonable, since she charges only for the first item and any additional items are sent no charge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Each piece has a great story in the description which goes a long way towards providing that extra charm and appeal. She has made some good sales on Etsy and if she keeps things up, will be an enormous success!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">So if your beads ever start to <em>flat line<\/em> and become lifeless, head over to Monster Kookies for a jolt of curious cupcake charm and twisted tentacle inspiration from a very unique artiste by the name of Kimberly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/cindy-sig.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Cindy Lietz Signature\" width=\"114\" height=\"99\" align=\"right\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/polymer-clay-tutor.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Polymer Clay Tutor\" width=\"200\" height=\"26\" align=\"right\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ex-Chef Bakes Fimo In Ways You May Never Have Imagined: Today you get to meet the Mad Scientist of Polymer Clay.
