I’ve been Having Fun!

I’ve been having so much fun this week – creating in all of my favourite crafting arenas, including this one!  I’ve got lots to reveal…so here goes!

First, a couple of keychains or cell phone owl chains.  Aren’t they cuuuuuuuuuute?  ;)

Next, a pendant I made using the mokume gane technique:

Now, some shrink plastic earrings:

Some earrings:

Some matching sets:

These next 2 projects are my faves :) – I am sure I am not the first one to come up with this idea, but I honestly came up with it out of my own head.  I didn’t see it anywhere else.  I admit that I often lift other peoples’ ideas, or get inspiration from other peoples’ work, but not this time!  The first one looks much better irl – the pic didn’t turn out very well.  I’ll have to take another one.  But, you get the idea, I’m sure.  There are two chains – two different lengths – with lobster claw clasps at each end, so that the length is adjustable, and I can make more attachments to go with the chains!  How cool is that?

The next one is the same idea, but a totally different style, and with three different attachments, in 3 different lengths – lots of options – wear one, two, three, or any one, with either length of cord!  :)   Oh, and the matching earrings are above.

That’s all for today!  Thanks for stopping by.  Let me know what you think!  :)

Jewelry from Scrapbook Paper!

It’s been a while since I posted on this blog, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy creating with polymer clay, and making fun and funky jewelry! 

I did have my first reveal as Design Co-Ordinator at www.scrappingreatdeals.com – which, of course, is a scrapbooking site.  But, I actually got quite creative and made a necklace, and earrings from scrapbook paper, and Tim Holtz “fragments” (clear acylic shapes)!  I made the frames from polymer clay.

What do you think?

I’ve been trying out some new techniques with my new Kato clay!  :)   Having so much fun!

Thanks for stopping by!  Leave me a message…it makes me smile.
