Work-table Wednesday
Woohoo! Just whipped up my first dangle bangle and earring set. Heart bead and rose slices were made earlier from shaded rose cane, sanded well and finished with floor polish. (still am amazed that it works so well on polymer clay!) Instructions for both bangle and cane came from Cindy over at Polymer Clay Tutor. [...]

Tangled Tuesday: Groovy

But when I noticed that I just went with it and added floral and greenery looking tangles. Tangles used: Groovy, Mumsy, Botanica & Boxwood, Scrawlz. – Posted using BlogPress from my [...]

Tangled Tuesday: Duotangle Hybrid/Strircles
Quickie post for today’s theme. Idea is from the Diva’s Weekly Challenge #68. Little bit has been sick and now I am hoping that I am NOT coming down with it myself. Surely it is just the “normal tired” because of a strenuous karate class last night and not being able to get to sleep [...]

My Tangled Work-table
My work-table has reflected my schedule lately… A messy tangle of things in progress. I tried to get a picture but couldn’t get a good one. Or maybe I was just too embarrassed. So here are a few of those things that covered it: More sooner or later. Dashing off again! – Posted using BlogPress [...]

Work-table Wednesday
And then there were two! Slowly I’m getting to these little dudes! The second one came out nicely. He’s a chunky lil dude and I love the way the silver bar wraps around his shell and holds the Jolly Roger in place. He’s been baked but needs patina too. I think I’m going to wait [...]

Some Days are Good
Yesterday we had some awesome art time. Both kids and I sat down for about an hour-and-a-half and made polyclay figurines. Do you know how rare it is for ALL THREE of us to be engrossed in the same activity for that long. Like so rare it has never happened kinda rare. LOL! I felt [...]

Tuesday C&I
Since Barb has got me thinking of Tuesday’s as sketch/art days, I decided to work on a scroll blank during quiet time today. The color copy is the inspiration for this one. I like this style because it is so much like doodling. Granted my versions are usually not as airy as the original piece. [...]
