Welcome! In my shop, you will enjoy discovering one of a kind, quirky, original hand kneaded polymer clay pendants, primitive bird and animal figurines and ornaments, found object wire wrapped jewelry, unique ring and trinket dishes! I work from my home studio in lovely Owen Sound, Ontario. Many of my items are one of a kind, so I recommend not waiting too long to purchase something that catches your eye.

5 out of 5 starsThis is the sweetest little chubby chickadee! The colors -- black to brownish tans, to white -- are spot-on, and the detail work in the shading, the feather-like carving in the wings and tail, the bright little life-like eyes, etc., is exceptional! The chickadee is round, and sturdy, and just feels good in my hand. And Jocelyn is a pleasure to Etsy with -- she reached out to me after my purchase to let me know its status, packaged my order safely and attractively, and shipped it super quickly. This is my second purchase from A Simple Knead. I'm very pleased with both of my orders, and know that I'll be back to shop again! How wonderful it is when someone so talented shares her art with us, and also efficiently takes care of the business end of things! Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsIt’s absolutely beautiful. I bought it for my mom for Christmas & ordered it on the 19th, I was scared it wouldn’t make it in time but the shipping was so fast. We’re from South Carolina so it makes it extra special for a bird lover like my mom. Love it! Thanks!

Awww, I am so happy to hear this! Best wishes to you and your Mom for Christmas!

5 out of 5 starsWe just got a new chocolate lab puppy and when I saw this little clay sculpture, I thought it was so cute and unique. I placed my order and was contacted by the shop owner, Jocelyn, she was asking about the name (which I completely forgot to put in the order). I told her the name and then decided to ask her if she had any black lab sculptures (we also have a 2-1/2-year-old black lab). Jocelyn stated that she would just make one. I was so excited! We discussed this one being more of an adult looking dog but very similar in style. So, Jocelyn made one (very quickly) and sent me pictures so that I could make any adjustments or requests for it. I loved it! Then she very quickly mailed both out to me. It was great! Start to finish Jocelyn was full service and I am extremely happy with my 2 little clay sculptures.

5 out of 5 starsI received my dragonfly necklace today. It arrived timely and was well protected. It is beautiful, even prettier than in the picture. I love it and will enjoy wearing it often. I highly recommend this artist and her beautiful work.

5 out of 5 starsThis necklace is really cool, you can tell a lot of love went into the charms. I've been looking for a monarch butterfly-themed present for my mom because she's been really getting into them lately, even going so far as to plant milkweed in the yard for them. This necklace is so unique compared to other monarch butterfly jewelry that I think it'll be perfect. It shipped out crazy fast, well-packed, and I love that it came in a nice little drawstring bag to keep it in

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
I am able to accept personalized or custom orders, but am unable to offer refunds on either. Cancellations are accepted only if requested within a 12 hour period after ordering.
Sizing details
My sizes are described as accurate as possible. Questions are always welcome. Lengths of necklaces can be altered upon request, upon purchasing, in most cases.
Care instructions
Polymer clay is not harmed by water, but some of the finishes and clear coats, as well as the metal pieces and cords can be, over time. It is recommended that cleaning solutions are not used, clay pieces are not worn into hot tubs, pools, lakes or oceans, and not worn in the shower. It is recommended not to sleep with any piece on either.
Gift wrapping and packaging
I am happy to gift wrap, or add personal notes, if requested, within reason. Sorry, I will not send anything anonymously from a buyer to their recipient, upon receiving such requests, under any circumstances.
Wholesale availability
Wholesale is not really a possibility for my pieces, as most are one of a kind, and some of my supplies are antique, upcycled, and limited.
Is My Jewellery or are My Clay Pieces Safe for Children?
My jewellery and accessories are not for children at all, and are not listed in Children's categories. My clay figurines are not toys in any way, they are decorative pieces that should be displayed well out of the reach of babies and children.
Why is My Shipping Expensive?
I ship your purchase tracked and insured. I only charge what it costs me to ship from Canada to your location so that your package is shipped safely to you. It is $16.00+ Canadian minimum, to ship tracked small packages to US addresses. So, as you can work out yourself, my shipping is generally undercharged. Shipping tracked to the UK is super pricey now.
I do not charge extra for handling or packing materials, and I make no profit at all on the shipping I charge.
