How about a new approach, though?
Have you ever seen woodwork and polymer clay together?
One of the Smooshers' new members (he joined this month) is CNewcomb and that is just what he's doing. Apart from making intricate wood designs like this one - I love wolves! - he went on to incorporating polymer clay in his designs.
Look at this keychain for example. It can be customized for name and clay color. What a lovely and personal gift. Having a name that never turns up on any commercial keychain myself, I think that's a great idea.
And of course another example I had to choose was this inlay cat! Granted, I would probably prefer a black one myself, but you can certainly tell there are still some great designs to be expected from this Smoosher!
Be sure to check out his ArtFire studio, you will also find his blog there. And if you are quick, you will even save 10 % as today is the last day of his sale!
Wonderful post!
