Polymer Oyster

I was in the process of making a large oyster shell pin and I got this far.  I still had the props set up in the light tent so I started fooling around with the lighting, etc. and never did finish the pin.

 I don't have Attention Deficit Disorder...........oh look, polymer.

Polymer Ring

 I'm still making simple black and white canes and kaleidoscope canes.

I wear large rings; love them.  So, it was inevitable that I would eventually make one with the kaleidoscope cane.  Sweet little morsel.

Raising Cane

I'm still working on creating simple canes and kaleidoscope canes and, oh yes, you HAVE to throw in a Stroppel cane.  Want to learn how to make a Stroppel cane?  The creator, Alice Stroppel shows you how in this free video tutorial (click HERE).

First you learn how to make a tiny beaded heart, then you put three of them together and you have a shamrock pendant.  Click HERE to go to the HandmadeJewelryClub.com to see the free video on how to make the beaded heart. Eri Attebery is the teacher.  

Mirror, Mirror

What a treat it was to see this mirror in person! Wow!  All Swarovski crystals in many different sizes.  It hangs in Cathy Breyne's shop, Unique Vintage Chic, 6166 E. Scottsdale Road, #201 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

I photographed it last year when it was selling for $8,000 in Cathy's shop.  The original owner of the mirror paid over 3 times that.  The mirror recently sold to a woman who purchased the mirror along with two crystals chandeliers.  If you click on the photos, you will get a better view of the crystals.  Just amazing.

Polymer Flower Pins

 I photographed these polymer clay pins on a dull gradient gray background because I thought it would make the colors pop.  Sometimes the end result I have in mind is not the end result I get.   I'll try another day.

Kaleidoscope Pendant

Go big or go home.

Wavy Pendant

A cable is threaded from front to the back on the right side, around the back and from the back to the front on the left side.  I will be making more of these because I love the way it hangs.  I used scrap clay from the black and white canes to make jelly rolls.  I took 8 slices from one of the jelly rolls and placed them on a black sheet.  I rolled it through the pasta machine on #2, turned it sideways and rolled it through #3.  I cut out the shape and then used a knitting needle to make angled indentions.  I then curved it and baked it.  Then I drilled the two holes. 

Lace Cane Necklace

Lace cane bead necklace.  Yes, I did have fun.  Simple, mindless, repetitive fun.

Bangles & Earrings

I'm on a black and white kick.  I made some simple black and white canes.  Combined, reduced, cut, regrouped; just played.  Then I made a couple of simple bangles and a pair of earrings.  Then I played some more.
