Textured Knitting

A little textured knitting.  Organic shapes and lots of holes.   I am so drawn to to deconstructed clothing with its raw, frayed edges, weird seams, exposed linings, etc.  And, I LOVE making something like this with its different stitches, open holes, raised and ruffled spots, looped and bubbled rows.

Sculptured Texture Beads

Distinctive, big, bold beads with remarkable textures and the unexpected subtle layering of colors which create a rugged beauty to the polymer clay.  It is like discovering something new each day I create these beads.  I am really having fun.  But, as you will see in a few days, I'm struggling to find the boundary line of what is too big.  Oh, how I love big jewelry, so it is hard to pull the reigns in.

Baseball Bat Cushion = Organic Mold

It comes in black (above) and clear (below) and is made for baseball and softball bats to absorb the impact when the bat comes in contact with the ball. You know, when you are constantly hitting all those home runs, it can be hard on one's arms.  Anywho, it is the base for all my organic pins.

So, this little silicone ditty was invented to soften the blow (is there one for life?).

Cool huh?

My husband had to go out and buy the black one because I took the clear one. The minute I saw it I knew what I wanted to make.  So go raid the tool box, sports bag and garage cabinets....you just never know.
