Creative Sillyness

Ok, so here is some more of what I call creative sillyness. When I am bored or need a break from something, this is the result. Or is it? Well, I truly was bored tonight and wanted to clay, but had no idea what I wanted to do. So I grabbed a slab of this, and a glob of that and just went to work. Nothing in particular, nothing in my mind. Just needed to feel the touch of the clay and the smoosh of shaping it. LOL

This could be a pin or a necklace beads. Or both for that matter. It was fun and relaxing while it lasted. Now I have to go back to the boredom of daily life. If only I was wealthy so I could spend my entire day just claying away. Awwww the dream continues.

New Creations

Today I was awfully depressed after not doing so well on my mid-term in college that I decided the best medicine was to create. I happened to have some scrap clay on my table and created these:

Two with the two openings I plan on putting pretty organza ribbons through and make into a pretty pendant necklace. Same with the one ith a single hole.

the one with the four curled corners will probably have a sterling silver chain at the top. Each bead, with the exception of the one on the bottom left has beads and dichoric glass beads on them. the blue double even has some swarovski crystals and a turquoise bead. I decided to put a flower and leaves on the one with the four corners and it came out really pretty.

This was just another of those abstract, let's see what comes out, sort of creation days. You never know what is going to come up when I am upset. LOLOL

Plant Starters

Well, these were interesting. They are plant starters from test tubes. Another Poly Clay Play project that I just couldn't resist. The tubes have mokume gane technique. I love doing that. I used shades of green, yellow and blue clay for that portion. The hardest part was the hangers. Making S curves is not my forte so they look rather crazy, but it was still fun. I am thinking of making more of these and giving as gifts. Still have to think that one through. anyway, they were fun.

Seahorse

This little cutie is a birthday gift to my niece who is turning four years old. She loves pink and I thought this seahorse would be just the ticket. I made her into a pin so she can wear it and packed it in a small clay covered pink Altoid tin. We are having a family party for her and her brother today and I will give it to her then.

What fun this was. I think I will make more of these.

New Creation

Between school and work, I actually have had some time to clay. It has been a hectic time, but I am determined to spend some time at what I love. The tulip necklace I am quite proud of. It is Christi Frieson inspired and I am selling it on my website at ladyraine.com. I am loving getting into the intricate more elaborate necklaces. this one was made with clay and lots of fun beads and frillies. I really had a lot of fun with this.

Christi is such a talented lady and her work is so inspiring. I plan on doing a lot more of these types of necklaces with different alterations.

Emily with Bee Jewelry

Well, here she is, my little princess Emily in the Bee ensemble that Gramma made for her. She really liked it. It was fun to see her open the bag and bring out the pieces. We had so much fun with her this weekend. Just wish we lived lots closer so the trips could be more frequent. But at least we had this weekend with her.

New Pendant

So I went shopping last weekend and came across a bunch of beautiful stones. I saw them and knew they would make awesome pendants so I spent the buckolas and got them. This is the first of the six I purchased.

What a beautiful Indian Lace Agate! I was so impressed with this stone that I couldn't wait to make it into a pendant. I think it turned out really well considering my style is very predictable. LOLOL I gotta start taking some chances with my work.

Anyway, here it is.
