So adorable you won't be able to resist browsing. That's what today's feature shop has going for them. How can anyone resist little puppy faces and sweet puppydog eyes, after all?
NanjoDogz on Etsy is a little shop filled with adorable puppies of all shapes and itty bitty sizes ready to be adopted and come home for some love. The shop features polymer clay dogs from german shepherds to dachshunds, poodles, spaniels and breeds of all kinds. Each pup is created with amazing detail and personality.
These tiny puppies are then created into Pandora-style beads, sculptures, pendants, tiles and more. Their focus on detail and quality to bring out the characteristics of each breed of dog makes these beads and goodies both unique and beautiful as well as absolutely adorable.
They have a variety of whimsical, unique and original items to share and also take custom orders as well!

Paintings and beads, sculpture and jewelry. Drawings and much much more... that's what today's shop has to offer. BunnyKissd on Etsy is filled with fun and colorful bits of clay, pendants, beads and more to make you go "awwww!" and give a smile.
Diana, the artist behind BunnyKissd, is filled with artistic wonder and loves to express herself with a wide variety of mediums from paper, paint, glue and scissors to polymer clay, pencils, watercolors, photography and even the occasional computer art! She's a member of a number of teams on Etsy that I'm also involved with including the Etsy Bloggers Street Team and the Queer Etsy Team.
My favorite piece in Diana's shop at the moment is the beautiful crescent moon necklace you can see pictured here in this post. I have to admit, though, it was a hard debate for me because she has some of the cutest winter ornaments with s'mores and other marshmallow and snowman themes as well and they're all very cute. And also the hungry caterpillar sculpture that made laughter bubble the minute I saw it as well!

FlutteringFlowers on Etsy is filled with whimsy, fantasy, fun and silly little items that are sure to delight and bring a smile.
The artist behind all these wonderful works learned to play with clay from her grandmother back when she was a child. Like all of us, as she aged, the responsibilities of live interceded until one day the opportunity to play presented itself again. This wonderful artisan has been "playing with clay" ever since and has a true love and enjoyment of it that you can see in every single piece of her work.
The shop has a huge variety of items for offer from plant sticks and buttons to little critters, tree sets, pins, fairies and even a few supplies! Polymer clay, FIMO and Sculpey clay all abounds here and she's talented in each!

When I was in school, I took every pottery class I could get into (and a couple of them twice) because I loved sitting at the wheel. I found the process both creatively stimulating and yet extremely soothing. And, in my high school career, I made a LOT of vases, bowls, cups, mugs, plates, pedestals, candle holders and more on that wheel.
Yet, although I had (and have) a decent amount of talent with tossing clay, sculpting was never one of my talents and still isn't to this day.
That's not the case with today's featured artisan.
Clayworks by Kim Detmers on Etsy is filled with absolutely exquisite polymer clay pieces with the kind of detail that takes your breath away. There's fantasy fairy doors, beautiful butterflies and flowers so realistic you'll want to take a sniff of the petals.
There's so many beautiful pieces that I had a really hard time choosing just one or two to picture in this post, in fact. I wish I could include a few more!
Kim was once a "muralist" painter and some of the miniature "murals" she now creates in clay are just amazing. She has some decorative badge reels that are just downright inspiring to behold.
It's clear she's inspired by not just color but nature as well. In fact... I can imagine her spending hours in the garden staring at the flowers! How else could she make her clay ones so realistic?
Her shop offers a variety of items from hair accessories to badge reels, magnets, fairy portals, jewelry and more. There's lots to browse through and enjoy and more arrives nearly every day it seems! Each time I visit there's some new beauty waiting to stir a smile.

Know someone who likes the icky? Do you have a friend you're shopping for that has a touch of goth to them? Today's shop could be the site for your shopping needs!
When I first ran across today's site, it 
drew my attention because it took me a minute to realize I was looking at a picture of a necklace made of intestines. Okay, seriously, not really made -of- intestines but it was a clay sculpt of intestines made into a pendant.
It was just a little gross... and just cool enough that I had to click and see more.
When I clicked, I entered the world of Beat Black; a shop on Etsy "where the sweet and the sour co-mingle". Great catch phrase, isn't it?
In this shop you'll find intestine necklaces and brain brooches, moldy bread cuff links and bone earrings all handmade from high grade polymer clay. Some of it's really, really cute. Some of it's on the weird side and there's a few pieces that are downright gross! All in all? It comes together into a shop that's so fascinating it's a page turner and you will be hard pressed to look away until you've seen every piece they have to offer.

Whew!! Blogger/Blogspot malfunction is now under control and we're back to your regularly scheduled program!
I have a friend who would love this pin. She has a thing for masks, and she's often expressed a fascination with the Easter Island statues that this little brooch pin is made to resemble.
The pin is from the shop of one of my BESTeam Etsy Team members, Cassandra from Ardna's Sac Etsy shop. Her shop contains a collection of polymer clay tidbits like this pin and other creative works along with a bit of jewelry, some button art and other tidbits.
Cassandra is an old-hand when it comes to polymer clay work and her initial experiences pre-date the "New Clay" by Nan Roche.
Her selection in her shop is currently a bit small but I look forward to seeing what else she comes up with and look forward to following her shop's progress. She's a member of the Polymer Clay Artist Guild of Etsy as well as a few other teams as well as a member of the New York Polymer Clay Guild.

Today's shop is very diverse with an earthy, whimsical flare for fantasy that really caught my attention.
I first saw today's artist's work when I was browsing through some of the treasuries on Etsy, and I was immediately drawn to the sculptured pieces like the one that I saw featured. I followed the link and found myself transported to an earthy realm of whimsy that I was immediately enchanted by.
Besedina is filled with wonderful sculptures that are rich in detail and personality. Little miniature pieces of art, cup holders for pens, pencils, crayons and more as well as fairy art prints, little magnets featuring more of the artist's sculpture talent and other bits and pieces such as jewelry boxes, jars, pendants and more.
It's a wonderful shop and one you shouldn't miss, so be sure to stop by and take a look around!

I was absolutely fascinated when I came across today's shop, and I have a feeling that you will be too!
I have very little experience with polymer clay other than the colorful disk-like beads that you occasionally find here and there in craft shops. It's one of the mediums that I've just never tried to experiment with.
I'll tell you what though... Madeline over at 
beadsCraftz has this down pat.
Just look at the bracelet in the picture to the right if you don't believe me. Have you ever seen anything so beautiful and intricate and just... perfect? I haven't. I can't even imagine the amount of time and effort put into making this piece and many others like it that are offered over at Madeline's shop.
Madeline is a self taught polymer clay artist that has spent a lot of time experimenting to achieve the best results possible for her craft. All of her beads are made from Premo or Sculpey clay, which are both artist grade polymer clay. The use of this clay combined with Madeline's image transferring techniques create some truly stunning results that you can clearly see in the variety of pieces she has to offer.
This is definitely one shop you don't want to miss... so go check out beadsCraftz and take a browse through Madeline's beautiful gardens. You'll be happy you did!

If you do? You have to check out SleepyRobot13!
The first time I saw this little guy, my heart went "awwwwww!" and he made me smile.
The shop's greeting says "Things U never knew you needed until today..." and that's just about right, because when I followed the little thumbnail of the robot and the toaster, I found a shop filled with tons of cute and I think just about everyone needs a little cute in their lives.
SleepyRobot13 is filled with robots, monsters and zombie toast! Everything is tiny, detailed and absolutely adorable.
They're made by a wonderful handmade toy maker named Lisa in Cleveland, Ohio who is inspired by designer toys, urban vinyl and the art of Luke Chueh and Buff Monster. Currently, she hand-sculpts all of the little figures in her shop out of polymer clay, but there's a hope on the horizon to someday be able to afford to produce a small run of some of the characters in vinyl.
You can find pictures of little robots who have already found homes on Lisa's SleepyBot13 website, and she also has a blog where she sometimes does giveaways!
