Back to Crafting
My Etsy store was reopened on Labor Day, but I still need to add new and different items to it. Currently, I am only selling selected pinback buttons and my CD sleeves. Sewn items will be coming soon.
I have vowed to start blogging more often and I have another blog in the works. A podcast is in the works. A children's book series is in development. 2010 is going to be a huge growth year for In Craft We Trust and for me personally!

Introducing...niceclutter

Lisa Arena of niceclutter creates "stuff enhanced with polymer clay". Her work is amazing and very intricate. After an extended crafting absence, she is back making the things she loves and making them better than ever! In her own words: "I've been making niceclutter for many years now. I've been an artsy-craftsy type of girl for my entire life. I love all things creative and am always in the process of doing multiple DIY projects - I can't just stick to one thing.
All of my pieces are made using uniquely designed millefiore-style tiles of polymer clay. The designs in the tiles are made by combining different colors of clay into a "sushi" type cane using a variety of techniques, all of which involve infinite patience and lots of tlc. The intricately detailed design can be seen in the cross section. I then slice the cane into tiles and arrange them in a patchwork pattern over the item being covered. To finish it off I roll it smooth and then fire it in the oven. The result is a crafty piece of art in vibrant colors with a smooth, matte finish. Water-resistant, color-safe, durable, and oh so pretty!
I am constantly creating new color schemes and will be continually adding to my wares. Each item I make is truly one-of-a-kind :)"
