Mod Cane Necklace

This was a fun project today. It is a combination of mobius and pillow beads. I saw the technique on Cindy Lietz's site this weekend and it gave me ammo to work on something new.

The picture is not all that great, but I like how this ste came out. Nothing like several techniques tucked into one to come up with a new necklace. :-)

New Pendants

I made these sets today. What fun mixing clay with gold leaf, with inks. These sets were fun. I may have to do some more as they are all unique. I don't make many sets so these were fun.

The concept came from a video by Cindy Lietz. I just changed it up a little bit. Of course they are so light.

Jack the Candlestick

Ok, so check it out!!!!! I actually completed a sculpt. Irrigardless how wierd it looks, LOLOL I actually finished a sculpt. This one was from a class by Dawn Schiller called Candlestick Jester class. Mine is a bit different because my candlestick is smaller and my dowel was larger. LOL So all in all Jack had to be improvised when it came time to put him together.

What has me all excited is that I actually did a sculpt. It tool me a while nad he is NOT by any means perfect, but he is a sculpt and I did it. And the best part of all??? HUBBY DIDN'T CALL HIM A TURD FUNGAS. LOLOL In case you haven't been reading my blog, that was the name my hubby gave one of my earlier attempts at a bonzai tree. In fact, he was right, but I still have that first attempt and will nto part with it.

This class was an online one that I paid for a while ago, (three months actually) and just now had the time to try and put him together. I am very excited, even though he looks a bit strange. HEY, no comments from the peanut gallery. LOLOLOL All greats had to start somewhere, right? Dang straight!!!

Finalizing Trollie

Ok, so this is an unusual, but fun project. It is actually a Troll matchbox ornament thingie.

I am uploading images of him closed and open. It is supposd to be like he is peeking out of the leaves. It was a fun class and I want to do it again.

When he is open you can see a small portion of the CD mirror that is under the leaves. It was fun and the next one will be a pretty pixie face.

Fantasy Mirror

Well, I haven't finished the matchbox project yet, but I did finish the latest Christi Frieson class - Fantasy Mirror. This one was very interesting with interesting results. The only thing I had difficulty with was the wiggly squiggly thing which on mine turned out to look like a moosy, gooey mess, but it was fun anyway. It was hard to get an image of it, but here it is anyway.

OH NO!! Another Class

Ok, so here we go again. I saw this awesome class that I had to take part in. In my quest to learn to sculpt, I saw this and had to give it a try. It is a class working with small matchboxes. Just my speed. Small and simple.

Well, this is lesson one where we had to cover the box and make a troll face and hands. Of course I have to perfect the eyes, ears and other parts, but for a first time I think he is kinda cute. This week the lesson will continue from here. I am excited about this as it helps me learn more about perspective and face sculpting.

I am anxious to see how he looks after this new lesson. And he even has Teeth! Well, kinda anyway. LOLOL His hands were not as difficult as I thought they would be although they are not perfect. I am always game to try something new so I am anxious to see the end result. Loving this class a lot. (as if I don't have enough to do to keep me busy. LOLOL)

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.
