I'm loving...

Time to Ebay for some old ladders.

Playing with Polymer Clay

The long Easter weekend went by so quickly. I didn't do much though, apart from experimenting with a new material for jewelry. I've recently got introduced to polymer clay and went down to the local craft store to get my hands on some Fimo Soft. It took awhile for me to get the hang of slicing the clay to create a faceted surface, but I absolutely love how it looks.

Stretching Creativity

I've been stretching my creative side of the brain to come up with a wider range of jewelry. Something more unique than the resin cabochons that I've been working with. Decided to pull out my good old stash of beads, charms, chains, and findings and got pleasantly surprised at some of the final products. Below is a range of necklaces using Czech glass beads. I love how the gold chain goes with the bronze bordering around the beads. The design focus is simplicity with understated edginess.
