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!

New Items In The Shop

Hello all!! New items were listed in the shop yesterday, these are just a few examples!! These pendants are similar to the one that Kitty used in her Bead Soup Blog Party piece! Have a great Sunday! Enjoy!

Art Bead Scene

Hello all! This is just one of my entries into the May Monthly Challenge over at Art Bead Scene. This is, however, the first one I entered with one of my polymer clay transfer pendants. The inspiration for this months challenge is Claude Monet's Water Lilies. I made the pendant and I knew that I wanted to use my new aged brass glue on bails.....and that was about all I knew. Then I put my daughter down for the night and I laid down beside her....and fell asleep! The design is what came to me right before I fell asleep...the three strings of coordinating seed beads connected by separate wire wraps to one 12mm Vintaj jumpring. The aged brass chain with the Vintaj spiral clasp finishes off the necklace! I can say that the only thing I dislike about it is the Vintaj crimp covers....not fun or easy to use, nor aesthetically pleasing to me! Take a look at the ABS blog and Flickr Group. Both sites are a daily stop for me! Enjoy!
