Stacked Pendant


I just finished a new piece...I combined a few techniques-the top bead is make using alcohol inks and silver leaf, middle one is ivory colored clay with stamping and piercing, the bottom is a push mold from one of my own leaf shapes....I'm pleased with this...although I think it's a bit fussy....

A Quick Set Of Earrings


My daughter loves long earrings so I whipped up a pair using colors I liked....and I'm having fun with them....they tickle the shoulders just a bit....

More...


Well, I've been having a fine time for the last two days making more of these new pendants...and this one has a nice addition of a bead I learned to make from a tutorial of Janice Abarbanel's....who I greatly admire. It makes such a wonderful centerpiece....ooooh look, something shiney......

Split Decision

I've been agonizing over which direction to go in....banging head on the wall, tearing out hair kind of agonizing....

I have a wholesale show in Las Vegas end of May....and no product line....oh don't get me wrong, I have plenty of pieces, but until today I just couldn't pull them all together..but I woke up with the same idea I had last time I posted...make a piece, then split it apart and see where that takes me...


I am just so happy with what today brought...and hopefully I can stay on this course until I have a line I'm happy with....


Of course, I have felt that way before only to lose interest after a piece or two....but I do think this is good, it's got plenty of possibilties.....and it's mine...

Back...

I've been gone for a while, attending my sister's wedding and visiting some old friends. I've missed working with clay and I'm raring to go, so stay tuned for some new pieces...
