Polymer Roses :)

  I made a few more polymer flowers to list in my Etsy store. Here's a quick preview: Each and every one of them is unique, hand sculpted, I don't use molds.

My favourite pair...they look like salvaged porcelain flowers, with ripped off edges...I think I'm going to keep these for myself. I'm thinking $15 each pair...I don't know if anyone is willing to pay that...I can't sell them cheap, they take so much time and work. I'll wait for a week, and if they don't sell I'll turn them into earrings. Earrings always sell. These two pairs sold so fast! See you soon! Love, Laura xo

The reception desk was extremely inefficient, and the girl who received him gave only a cursory glance through the index cards before her and when she couldn’t find the man’s name, she sent him straight to Hell. And in Hell no one asks to check your badge or your i...
