Some New Stuff

When I don't know what to make but just need to make something, I get out my beads and scrap clay.  This turquoise and chain necklace was made with random beads and some new chain I bought.  I made the hook on pendant out of some cool scrap clay that my friend Kathi gave me.

Then I decided I would try my hand at a Julie Picarillo (SP?) style pendant.  It sure isn't as great as Julie's but I like it.  And that turquoise one with the 3 little metal thingies is for wire wrapping.  No holes.  :D

And I have been messing around with basic wire work, too.  I love wire but haven't played with it for a while so I got out a couple books and began at the beginning.  Aren't I smart?  :)I made another cool bracelet with wire and beads but I didn't photograph it yet.  Later.  :D

I Never Give Up!

Here I am trying again.... well, it let me do these three then died.  Better than none, though!

The Mokume Gane

YeeeHah!  The MG came out great, methinks.  Take a look and tell me what you think, ok?  I used trans and white.  A little glitter on the trans then dabs of LuminArte powders.  I then layered those now colorful trans pieces with white and did the MG thing.  It looks really nice with the powders.  This is a new thing as I have always used just clay and foils and stuff.  Did any of you use powders?  And how did you like it?  You could probably use PearlEx, too.   Some of the pieces are layered over trans and some are over some coral colored clay.  What fun to just mess around and see what happens!

Hmmm, apparently there is some problem.  It keeps giving me a notice that they can't perform my request ( which is to post my photos) and says to report it but there doesn't seem to be anyplace to report it TO!  

The Almost Pendants

Well, here it is, day two of my blogging.  Are we having fun yet?  :D

I was going to tell you all about my fun new pendants I have been making but I realized they are no fun if you can't see them.  SUCH a great brain I have!  So, I will go take pictures then maybe tomorrow I can brag.  I know you are waiting with bated breath!  See you tomorrow!
