Handmade Polymer Clay Alice-Inspired Worry Stone | Whimsical Desk Art (Choose Your Design)

Choose your Alice. Then I’ll make her into a Nug just for you. 💙🐇

Welcome to the third Alice-Inspired Collection from MindfulNugz — a wonderfully whimsical collection of handmade polymer clay Nugz featuring beautiful storybook artwork inspired by Alice and her adventures down the rabbit hole.

Choose from 11 different designs in this first collection, and your selection will be handmade to order.

Each little piece begins with polymer clay that I shape entirely by hand. I press my thumb into the center to create the gently concave area that holds the artwork, then finish the piece with mica, the artist print, and resin.

And one of my favorite parts happens on the other side.

As I press the thumbprint into the front, my fingers naturally leave grooves and impressions in the clay on the back.

I leave them there.

Those little marks are part of the Nug.

No two are exactly alike because no two were ever meant to be.

You can actually see and feel the human hand that made yours.

MADE TO BE HELD

A MindfulNug isn't quite a worry stone, isn't quite a pocket hug, and isn't simply a piece of art.

It's a little bit of all three.

The rounded polymer clay rests comfortably in your palm while your thumb naturally finds the gently concave artwork area. The finger grooves and hand-shaped surface on the reverse add another layer of tactile texture.

Hold it while you're thinking.

Keep it beside your computer.

Reach for it while you're reading.

Set it on your nightstand.

Or simply display it on your desk or bookshelf as a tiny piece of handmade art.

They really are unlike anything else.

THE ART

The gorgeous illustrations in this collection are from Diana Serenity Studio, a beloved Etsy artist whose work immediately captured my imagination.

Her dreamy, delicate interpretation of Alice's world was simply begging to become a collection of Nugz.

I'm delighted to feature her artwork in this collection — and more of Diana Serenity Studio's beautiful work will be coming to MindfulNugz soon. Stay tuned.

CHOOSE YOUR ALICE

Look through the numbered artwork images in the listing and select your favorite from the Choose Your Alice menu.

This first release includes 18 Alice-inspired designs, including whimsical scenes with Alice, rabbits, tea parties, sweet treats, storybook creatures and familiar little nods to Wonderland.

Once you've chosen your artwork, I'll create your Nug by hand.

EACH NUG IS MADE WITH

• Polymer clay
• Mica
• Artist print
• Resin
• And two very human hands

Because these are individually handmade, please expect slight variations in shape, color blending, artwork placement, resin and surface texture.

Those variations aren't defects.

They're evidence that your Nug was made rather than manufactured.

A WONDERFULLY CURIOUS LITTLE GIFT

An Alice-Inspired Nug makes a lovely gift for an Alice in Wonderland enthusiast, book lover, reader, teacher, librarian, collector of whimsical things — or anyone who believes we could all use a tiny bit more Wonderland in ordinary life.

And yes, buying one for yourself absolutely counts. ♥️
