Work In Progress (WIP)

Collaboration

This is what I made last evening. My husband stamped and helped paint and distress, then I soldered......for the first time! Did you know you could stamp on wood? :)

Hello all! Here is my take on Jennifer Jangles necklace tutorial that I posted yesterday! Enjoy!

Playing With Clay

Hello all! Today and yesterday Madelyn and I have been playing with polymer clay and here are some of our results! Madelyn mixes the colors together and I stamp and bake. Today we painted and waxed and buffed! She is working on another color right now! :) Enjoy!

Madelyn Loves......

........Orla Kiely. She begged me to make her a necklace this weekend. Okay, pestered and nagged more like it! So I made three pendants from 3 different Nunn Design pendant findings! Antique Silver, Antique Gold and Antique Copper. The resin did not give me too much trouble this time....just small bubbles, as usual!

I need to let you all know that there is an issue here on the home front that may have me slowing the blog and shop down a little. Please know that I am STILL here, just concentrating on the issue at hand! Thank you all for understanding! Enjoy!

*I truly, TRULY enjoy making the new components for the shop...it is like therapy!
*I have had 2 new medicine changes and they have helped me tremendously!!!
*I apparently, according to the nurse practitioner, have been living in an allergy fog for years and I am now on Omnaris nasal spray and feel like a new person!
*That and Abilify and I think I might be able to climb the mountain of every day life without having to run back to bed for 10-12 hours a day!!

Bead Soup Blog Party Necklace

Hello all! I had Tim take some pictures today of my necklace and I thought I would share them with you! So here it is on, and now you know just why I am keeping it!! Take care and have a great weekend!

New Work

These are just some pictures of a necklace I call 'stress reliever' because there was no other reason for making it but boredom and stress relief!

This is a custom piece that is going to Australia and will be a gift for some lucky person!
