I have been neglecting my blog......






































I have been neglecting my blog because I have been making some new things and because I have been burning to much computer time on Facebook.

Here are some photos of a few new necklaces I made over the week end.

I really love the way the blue and pink Kaleidoscope and pillow bead necklace turned out. I also really like the orange and blue butterfly patterned necklace. I just love what can be done with polymer clay.


So facebook is my new computer hang out. I really like it so much that I am dropping a few of my other social networking sites. Twitter has become one big promotion add spot for Etsy sellers, very little social interaction going on when every one is yelling "Hey LOOK at My Shop". So I'll be there a lot less. MySpace isn't for me it's mostly for kids not my cup of tea. So I will be closing that account.

What I like about Facebook is there is plenty of social interaction with my peer group. Lots of polymer clay addicts to share with and very easy to use, I enjoy the games too. I enjoy talking with people I admire from my favorite forum Polymer Clay Central; it's like hanging out with old friends.

on my work table.......
portable soap and body butters, they smell good and feel good too.

I want to kick my cat's butt!












I have a long haired orange cat named Rupert and I love him dearly but this morning I really wanted to kick his furry little butt.....Why?

Last night I was working on a beaded project when I got tired and decided to finish it this morning. I had 2 large organizer boxes filled with crystals and gemstones that I had been picking beads from for my project on my worktable. I figured they would be fine as they were closed . Welllll that's not exactly right.

I got up this morning went to kitchen to make coffee and all of the sudden I heard a huge CRASH! Apparently Mr. Rupert launched himself off my desk and on too my worktable sending the 2 boxes of beads flying onto the floor where they opened up emptying and mixing 36 different compartments of beads and gemstones....OMG! What a pretty mess!!!

Above I posted some photos of another one of my polymer clay and glass tile pendants. I strung this one with some nice spring time beads. I think I'll post it in my Etsy shop later.....

When Polymer clay meets glass.........






I have been experimenting with new styles and techniques. Here are some examples of my twist on the glass tile pendant.

Glass tile pendants are a trend on Etsy and I love the clean look of them. The original versions use beautiful papers and original art work as the subject of the tile.

Instead of paper I have been using my favorite medium polymer clay. I think the glass tile and polymer clay are a perfect match. Click on the photos to get a closer look and I think you will agree the it's a fun combination.

I enjoyed making these and now that I know where I want to take these; I will be making some beautiful floral tiles for the spring. I have a lot of new things I have been working on and now that the busy holiday season is over I will be posting a lot more regularly.

on my crafting table today........Valentines candles, and a floral bead woven bracelet.
