Inspiration is a funny thing. It can come from almost anywhere, the littlest things can spark inspiration. The way a crumpled piece a paper lays, the way a shadow cast across a yard, even in my case when a batch of glass falls to the floor and makes a large crash and a huge mess even music can inspire us-so why not a scent a glorious smell. Can a scent inspire us to create? maybe if it is a great one hey? Anyone that knows me knows I love orange and struggle not to use it in my work but oh man after I got a whiff of this soap by daisycakessoap all bets were off it rekindled my love for the color orange LOL No kidding!
I shopped late for my own mothers day gift again this year and I popped over to JM’s shop knowing full well I would buy something fresh and fruity. Kumquat was perfect because it was orange. I had no idea what it smelled like- I totally trust JM and I knew it would be good but never knew it would smell this yummy. I keep telling her I swear I didn’t eat it but it smells good enough to lick.
Now everyday I can smell that soap at my studio sink and it really sunk into me because now I can’t quit making orange pendants- Like I ever could ha ha!
This pendant is in honor of JMs soap and my love for Kumquat Soap- Thanks for making my studio smell great!

You could scent your polymer clay pieces too you know to add to the inspiration! I love this wire wrapped piece… simple and lovely. Why on earth would you struggle to not make something Orange? Just make whatever you want. You obviously make nice Orange things!

OOOO Scented polymer clay wow that sounds awesome!
If you knew me and orange you would not say that hahaha. I think I pick up something orange to use in glass every day. people don’t seem to be as fond of oranges as we do, so I tell my self put down the orange Michelle. LOL
Thanks Cindy
