PS I'm cheating today, instead of writing a blog-I'm sending you elsewhere to read one...hmm...I like this lazy method-may have to do it more often! /grin

Daughter's dragon pendant

Well my daughter saw me make a dragon so she finally decided to play with the clay again, and here is the result-she had to show me up by making a much more delicate dragon-lol! :)

This adorable red dragon focal pendant was made by my even more adorable 21 year old daughter-isn't she talented? We both love playing in the clay. The dragon measures 2.75 inches across and 3 inches from the top of the wings to bottom of pendant. The stringing hole is located between his wings. The pendant was made from red polymer clay with copper highlights added in and tiger's eye beads, goldstone and carnelian accents.

New dragon focal pendant

Well, I'm definitely back in the game-made my first polymer piece in quite a while yesterday-and of course-it's in my favorite color-purple! /grin

Back In Business

Well y'all, hadn't been making much jewelry in a while, been too busy trying to find a job. But I'm finally excited about it again-so expect to see more from me! Here's my latest-a sterling and amazonite bracelet...I got this yummy pattern from beading daily! Kinda regretting now that I made it too big for me.../grin

Heat treating copper

After reading various posts on the about.com jewelry making forum and on etsy, I decided to experiment with heat treating copper to age it. Here is the results, I'm rather pleased with the way it came out! Thanks for all the informative posts y'all.

Yeah, so it's been a long, long, long time...

Yeah, it's been a long time since I've posted anything...again with the job hunting. When other parts of your life are stressful-it's hard to remember to do the things that bring you joy-including making jewelry and posting about it!

Anyway, even if I haven't been making much jewelry...here's a link to a place where people have-it's a special project that one of the ladies on the about.com forum is involved in, here's A Little Something:

I've certainly enjoyed reading about it!

Green Polymer Clay Dragon Pendant

Well...I've been busy job hunting, and really haven't had time or inclination to make any jewelry lately. =/

But, I finally broke out the polymer clay today and made this adorable little dragon pendant! My daughter's frog pendant sold in my shop this week-we've both been neglecting the polymer a while though-time to get back in gear! :)
