Fan Friday: Peniferous

I will be featuring some of the stores I have found and love on Etsy.

Today's feature is Peniferous a store the specialises in handmade felt products.

The store has a varied range of items, such as purses and pillows, featuring many different fandoms.

I have the My Neighbour Totoro purse and bought the Companion Cube purse for my sister and they are both lovely items.

New necklace packaging

Trying out some new packaging for the necklaces at shows. I should now be able to fit a lot more onto the table while using up less space.

Back to the beginning: My first successful polymer clay make

Looking back on old work can be a great way to reassure yourself how much you have improved.

I remember buying a pack of white fimo and trying out making lots of different shapes with my sister. We put them in the oven and waited in anticipation. When they came out they were no longer white but a pale brown  (We obviously had the oven too hot).

A few years passed before I tried using it again. This time I bought a pack of half blocks in a variety of colours. As it was close to Red Nose Day I tried making some red nose earrings.

I got a lot of great responses to them and ended up making 10 pairs to sell at my mums work and raised £15 for the charity.

10 pairs of red noses

Getting a good reaction from one of my first real makes really inspired me to improve and continue crafting.

What was your first piece you were really proud of? I would love to see them :)

Hello and Welcome :)

Welcome to the Robotic Cookie blog! This will be a place where I share my new items and ideas, along with any other shops and pieces I find interesting. I also hope to maybe post up a few tutorials too.

I better introduce myself first :)

My name is Ash, I'm nearly 24 and I live in North East England. I am a jewellery maker and I primarily use polymer clay. I have been interested in art and creative outlets since I was very young and have a degree in Animation Design.

 I started playing around with polymer clay after spotting it online and was inspired to start selling after helping a friend at one of her stalls at a comic convention.

My shop is named 'Robotic Cookie' I wanted something unique but cute and ended up drawing up a robot shaped cookie (still my logo) and Robotic Cookie was born. Although my Etsy shop was opened in July 2013 I didn't start selling there properly until January of this year.

I mostly sell geek culture inspired items but I am venturing out into other areas now.

I hope you will find something interesting here and I look forward to hearing some of your thoughts on my products :)
