If you are going to do a feature on my shop please let me know, I'd love to credit you and see your feature!! =D

Progress and News

Well well, finally done with all the orders that were backed up from my vacation! All have been shipped and are on their way to their new homes. =] Now I just have to focus on making the other 42 billion new products that I have in mind! I've already got one that is almost complete, I just have to purchase some new chain tomorrow and I can get it listed! It's a new necklace inspired by one of my favorite movies and one of my favorite ladies, my Angie! =D Also in the process of making a bracelet of essentially the same theme at her prompting.
Very excited about a new and blossoming friendship from which has stemmed much needed encouragement! With the inspiration and encouragement of a friend of mine I have come out of my shell a tad and am finally offering some of my photography to the world! And she is as well, you should check out her shop here: UIEgeek.etsy.com ;) You'd probably swear we're twins when it comes to art! 'Cept she's a little more photographically inclined. ^^
So many new items to come, so excited at how this year is turning out, so many wonderful things to look ahead to!

Post Numero Dos

Now that Im on my way to figuring this out, I suppose I'll post one last blog for the night - er morning- and then I'll hit the hay!

Just want to get it out there that although I am visiting family on vacation and am not able to physically work on new ideas, I am definitely still getting new ideas every day and writing them down and logging them away on scrap pieces of paper and napkins and such. =p

I've got the beginnings of about 20 new products lying around here, even if only in words, and a handful of them already in the works at home. I'll be finishing those up and listing them as soon as I return home, after I ship out my current orders, of course! ;)

All I'll say about the new stuff is look forward to many more adventures in Nintendo Land as well as many more yummy confections coming your way! As well as some apparel and other miscellaneous things. =]

There will also be new photos of old products soon, always updating as you all well know!

I am also working on improving my products. For instance switching from plain old eye pins to much sturdier headpins and so on and so forth. It's a bit of a revamp for PPD, but a much needed one in my opinion! The New Year will bring many changes and blessings, and I am looking forward to them, hope you are too! ;)

First Post

So I've finally wandered my way over to Blogspot, like everyone else apparently eventually does. =p Just for my first post, I suppose I'll start with the history of my business. =]

I was born and raised in Southern Louisiana and am French (Cajun French if you please!) and Catholic as well, so from time to time you will see items in my shop that feature the fleur-de-lis. It has great importance to me and my culture, I even chose to have one tattooed on the back of my neck! I have been involved in some form of art since I was about 12 and have not stopped since.

My first jewelry company was Soda Pop Jewelry in late 2007 mainly utilizing bottle caps and friendship style bracelets and necklaces, that morphed over into Polymer Perfection Designs in early 2008 and I launched my first Etsy shop in April of 2008. I was intrigued with all the tiny adorable little food recreations and things I was seeing on art sites on the internet which eventually led me to discover Etsy and to find that they were made from polymer clay. I was amazed to find that these fantastic little sculptures were simply made from clay and immediately went down to my local craft store, purchased some clay, and got to work!

My first real creation was my original design for the "Polymer Pacman Love" necklace which has since become a smaller more dainty version. My second design, and one of my favorites, was my rainbow Nintendo Mushroom bracelet. I've expanded my creation to include many other video game themed items from Pacman and Nintendo to Zelda and Tetris. As a child I loved playing Super Mario Bros, so a majority of my inspiration comes from there. I love to do custom orders and am very much open to working with my customers to come up with something unique and amazing!

I am a married mother of one, proud wife of a Coastie. We're always moving with him being in the military and I love the constant change of scenery! I love what I do, crafting and art are two of my favorite past times, I hope my customers continue to enjoy my unique and original creations!
