Craft Fair, & Possible Etsy Items

Hello all,

It has been sometime since our last post but don't worry we have not gone anyway, we have just been a little busy with work and other things.

Exciting new though, the local Craft fair is coming up soon! It will probably be on November 17th. So excited!

Anyway, that has inspired this post, along with wanting to show some of the items that we have added to the shop, and some of the items that will be available at the craft fair!!

Lets start with a couple of items that we will have at the craft fair!

If you are one of our fans on facebook, you may have already seen the two following items, if not please enjoy.

Everybody knows the man in red loves a late night snack.

A fun reminder of something we should all practice.

A couple of home decor plates, we love them and think they are super cute and fun. They are about 10.25-10.5" across if anyone is interested. They can be used to display, or with the Santa plate if you wanted to place cookies on it for the kiddies, you could, just clean it with a damp cloth. They are ceramic plates with vinyl accents.

These two particular plates will most likely not be sold on Etsy due to shipping cost. We are not exactly sure what the cost would be but we are afraid that we would not be able to give a price that was fair and covered shipping. (These plates in particular are slightly heavy) If you are local and will be able to attend the local craft fair, you can look for these on our table. Their price will be 15.00 each, and if we are able we will have our machine with us and will be able to personalize them. So for example, your santa plate could say "from Jack & Jane"

.......

Up next is a Halloween Item, we may add this to Etsy, if we do, we need to do it very soon. Halloween is fast approaching!

How cute is this?

This one has been made for a special little someone who is far to young to young to be reading this blog, so she will not know it has been made for her, unless someone spoils it, and I would ask that you didn't if you happen to read this and see it :)

Another Fall, or Halloween, related item we have made is the following item. It is more of a made to order item, and will probably only be provided locally, but not at the craft fair, as it requires supplies that are only sought after seasonally. Also, they supplies are only available seasonally :)

Fancy Fall Pumpkin!

Adorable isn't it? It was really fun to make, but ask you can see, it requires a pumpkin, this one of course is a faux pumpkin, so it will never spoil, and can be reused many times. However, it is not a supply we will carry, as these Pumpkins can take up a lot of space, and as we said, they are only popular part of the year :) So if you would like one, let us know. This one is I suppose a "medium" sized pumpkin and would run 40.00 that comes complete with your name, or initial, or whatever, and adorable bow.

.......

Now up next, we'll show you a couple of items that we have added to etsy recently, or at least items we have not blogged about before.

First up, is a non clay item, but is cool and fun nonetheless.

Flounder Fear Me

This decal actually has it's very own story of how it was brought into this world through Polymer Yay! If you are interested in learning the sweet short story, you can find it in the item description on This Page.

Cool story wasn't it? Really short, but cool none the less.

The next two pictures are clay items and will be the last pictures in the particular post. We hope you enjoy them.

Pumpkin Pie Oh yum!

Peppermint Pie

The Peppermint Pie earrings were made based off of a recipe in I believe a Betty Crocker cook book, so that's kinda cool. The links for them are Pumpkin Pie & Peppermint Pie

So glad we could share all these new things with all of you and we hope to post again soon with more news

OH YEAH!

One more bit of news, we finally reached 100 Likes, so that lucky person will be getting that free goody bag.

Charity Raffle Donation Across "The Pond"

Hello all,

For anyone who has visited our etsy shop over the past few days or the past week or so, will have seen some new items that have been added. Our last post mentioned several of our fall-esque items that we have made.

We have also added a couple different pairs of food related earrings as well.

Anyway, on to the real reason for this post!

We were contacted a couple of days ago about a possibly making a donation of an item to be raffled off for Charity. Of course, we said that we would love to.

The event is for the Macmillan Nurses, there will be a Charity Karaoke event held over several weeks along with a raffle of donated items. The Karaoke will be held/sponsored by a group of DJs known as Freeway Entertainment. (I will provide a like to the correct Facebook page once I have received a concrete link)

We were contacted by Clare Vann of Lexi's Kingdom

Now a couple of details that will be important to everyone, this event, as you may have guessed by the post title, is not in America, it is in the UK. I believe it will be held at the Ring O Bells Pub in Loughborough which is located in Leicestershire I believe.

So if you read our blog, and want to help our the Nurses make your way over there to do some Charity. I believe the events may take place are DEC 8th. For more information you can contact Clare at Lexi's Kingdom

Alright, now we want to show all of you what we will be donating to this cause. They are similar to items we have for sale in our shop, but the colors are a bit different than the ones in the shop. We think they turned out nicely though. We are sending them with the intention of it being Raffled as a set, but of course they can do with it as they want, but any way, the following pictures are the items that will shortly be sent across the pond to help a cause.

Autumn Brooch

Autumn Brooch Side View

Autumn Leaf Earrings

As you can see, we used the same greens, reds browns, and oranges in these pieces, yet the order, placement, and intensity of the colors are different from our original designs. We hope that all of you like these, and we hope they can help out the Nurses.

Some New Items.

Hello all!

It has been a little while since our last post, and we apologize for that. We have been busy with work, organizing our craft room and other things.

New Items

---

Over the past week or so we have added several new items to our etsy shop. Several are fall related items, or fall themed.  You can find our shop at www.etsy.com/shop/polymeryay

The following pictures will show you at least some of our new items! Enjoy!

Iridescent Style Winter Leaf Earrings

Dark Wintery Leaf Earrings

OM NOM NOM!

Autumn Leaf Earrings

Green Leaf ladybug Earrings

Ooooh Cherry Pie Yum!

Autumn Fall Leaf Brooch

There have been a couple other items added as well, but these are the ones that we made for the fall & winter seasons (Yes, even the cheeseburger charm)

We will hopefully get some new stuff made soon, some may end up craft fair supplies, rather than the shop, but we will at least let you see it if its super awesomely cool, which it of course will be :p

Well, for now this is all and we will keep you all updated to what is going on and coming up. Make sure to check our our shop, or follow us on facebook, or twitter to stay the most up to date with what we are doing.

Also, as of this minute, we are at 90 Likes on our facebook page. When we hit 100 likes, the 100th person will receive a free goodie bag! If you already like us, tell your friend, maybe they will share!

Foster Florals

Hello all!,

As you may have noticed, we like to share work by our friends, as well as we like to share our own. We have linked to a couple of different Etsy Stores, as well as facebook pages.

Well another friend of ours has started up her own business making awesome Flower Arrangements and wreaths! She asked for our Digital Yay Services in creating a banner for her business page. We glady accepted, and made her a banner. Currently she is only on facebook advertising, but may be on other sites in the future.

Anyway, the name of this business is Foster Florals

You can see that a great amount of care and time go into these arrangements in the photos below:

Aren't they just lovely? we think so, not just because it's a friend of ours either! Make sure to visit her, or give her a call. I believe all of her needed contact information can be found on her page.

I know we told you that she does wreaths too, and she does, however at this moment she only has one image up and it's a balloon wreath.and it's Super Cool! We chose tp put the two above images up because they both are in beautiful fall colors.

The Balloon Wreath  is also beautiful, so check it out!

We hope you enjoy this new little treasure that is Foster Florals, & if you want to see the banner we made for her, simply visit her page. Just in case you forgot it was Foster Florals

Polymer Yay! Goes International!

Hello all!

As I am sure you recall, a little while back we mentioned in a post that we had sent a Mystery item to a really awesome fan in the UK.

Well, earlier today, she received her item! So since she has now seen it, all of you can too!

First off, We will start off by showing you the picture we were given for reference.

Alright, as we can see, our Friend Sarah Gibson, requested a Camera Charm! I had this feeling when I asked what she would like that her reply was going to be Camera, and I was right! What else would an awesome photographer want? Okay, so it was just an educated guess, but we were excited to try it!

Obviously better than a real one.

Alright, now I know it's not a perfect match to the picture above, but we took some artistic license, and used the actual camera more as a reference or inspiration. Sarah knew this, going into the deal that we would take some license with it, she even told us she expected us to. Anyway, This charm is probably only about an inch tall, maybe an inch or so wide. It comes complete with flash box, big fancy lens, and even a couple of buttons and switches.

All that really matters to us, is that it got to her safely and that she liked it, and well, BOTH of those things happened. It arrived safely, and She loved it. She even sent us the following photo showing her appreciation before she wore it out for a night out on the town.

Sarah Gibson loves her Polymer Yay!

Now once again, you can find Sarah at the following links: Sarah Gibson -or- Sarah Gibson Photography We are so glad she likes it!

Other International News

---

As the Page views to our blog slowly increase, we find ourselves checking to see where these views come from. Well, with Blogger, we can see how many views and from what countries they come from. So in honor of the current 8 different Countries that have read our blog at least once, we have made a diagram. This diagram will show all of you the countries we currently have views from.

Best Diagram ever!

:D How is that for a diagram? lol We have actually talked about making a map to show where we have mailed items, but we have just recently started our international shipping, so a map would be time consuming, and really only have the US, the UK, and Italy, so we decided that Owls that were rather outspoken about their favorite places would be better.

This Diamgram will also be available on our facebook, along with Sarah's appreciation photo.

For now this is all, we hope to have some more items added soon, and some other projects finished as well.

They Have Flown The Coop, so to speak.

Hello All,

Last night we posted about a new item that would soon be in our Etsy Shop well, it's here!

That's right, our newest product is now available for sale in the shop. Since the color purple seems to hate us, only brown and green are available for purchase. The purple ones will either go up for sale at a later date,  be added to craft fair items, or will meet an untimely demise and be thrown away. Most likely it will be one of the first two options.

Any who, you can see images below of the items, and if you feel that you want a pair, you can get to their listing by clicking the caption under the photo of the one you like!

Brown!

Green!

Sorry about the glare they have, there was a fair amount of clear coat applied to them to keep them protected.

So for all of you that were excited to see some owl jewelry come from Polymer Yay!, here it is. We hope you all love it.
