Fancy pants pens in progress ⋆ Polka Dot Cottage I had my head down last week, making some new products: fountain pens, cross-style twist pens, and mechanical pencils! They're not quite ready for the shop, but I'd love for you to take a look at this sneak peek and tell me what you think. Should they be a regular offering? Should I take custom orders? What color metal looks best? I'd love your feedback.

I've been making fancy pens lately. They're not in the shop yet, but here's a sneak peek: www.lisaclarke.net/2026/04/09/f... 🧶 #fountainpens #crosspens #polkadotcottage

18 millefiori canes, some of them replacing old favorites that were used up, and some of them brand new.

The focus is on five brass bangle bracelets with polymer clay millefiori designs in the channels. Also visible in the frame are a few stacks of brass rings that are made in the same fashion as the bracelets, some dangly earrings with round 3/4-inch millefiori tiles, a few crochet hooks, and half a pair of resin-topped stud earrings.

Ok, one more post before I go back to my Day Job 😁
Last week was Polymer Claycation, and I made some things that I am really very happy with. These are those things. I'll be selling at some local shows over the next month, but what's left will go in the shop.

In the blurred background, all of the finished pieces mentioned in the previous photo, except for one pair of earrings. Those are being held on an earring card by me in the foreground. They are about .75-inch polymer clay circles hanging from brass ear wires. The design is a messy stripe with a variety of pastel colors, and even a bit of sparkle. They have been sanded to be exceptionally smooth, and buffed to a nice shine.

DM me if you'd like one of the two extra pairs. $30 each, and I'll pay shipping, to thank you for keeping me from having to photograph and list these on my website 😁 3/3

Donut-shaped earrings, hanging from handmade oxidized sterling silver wires. The donuts are roughly 1.5 inches across and feature a kaleidoscopic design in pinks, yellows, and greens.

Me, on the left, wearing my only pair of these donut-shaped earrings. Mine pair is similar to the first image, but the colors are more on the orange, blue, red, and purple side. (On the right is my partner in crime - we took this photo this week while celebrating our anniversary). I cropped the image to make it easier to see the earrings.

A few months ago, I made a few of this style of earring, never thinking I'd like it much for my own personal use. But I do. And now I want to make them in every color for me, Me, ME 😁 (I may spend my Day Job lunch hour at the clay table, getting started...)

Replacing the Ink in a Polka Dot Cottage Pen <p>Sometimes things happen in Real Life that make me think, “I should fix this problem and document the steps for my blog.” One such thing happened today.</p><p>I was writing with <a href="https://www.lisaclarke.net/2018/02/21/south-jersey-clayathon-2018/">one of the pens I made at the Clayathon</a>. This one is a beauty, if I do say so myself. It’s got some of those olive greens and turquoise blues that I love so much, and they’re arranged in a kaleidoscopic explosion of color. Sigh 💚💙. Anyway, about two sentences in, the ink stopped flowing.</p><p><a href="https://www.lisaclarke.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/27_3652018_058-copy.jpg"><img alt="How to Replace the Ink in a Polka Dot Cottage Pen" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-20763" data-attachment-id="20763" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta='{"aperture":"1.7","credit":"Lisa R.

Pen</strong>.</p><p>A<strong> pair of pliers</strong>. I actually use wire cutters because I’ve misplaced my pliers. Essentially, you can use any tool that will grab the ink tip securely. If you do use wire cutters, be careful not to squeeze too hard and snip the tip of the ink cartridge off! Do that, and your entire work area will likely be covered in ink.</p><p>A <strong>Bic Round Stic Refill</strong> or a boring old <strong>Bic Round Stic pen</strong> that you won’t miss. If you don’t think you have a Bic Stic laying around, you might be surprised. Look in your pencil jars for hotel pens and other promotional pens. Promotional pens are often Bics.
