Charm Swap charms! They're back...

I was totally excited to get the box of swapped charms from Ornamentea Saturday. I posted the green charms I made to participate in the swap and now I'd like to share the charms I got back from the swap. I still need to identify the makers by going to their link. I'm so curious about where they all came from.

New Work Listed: March 10, 2012

I have started listing all the new items I photographed in the last post. I want to share the finished brooches I started blogging about when I was ready to attach the pin backs. If you want a closer look, these polymer clay jewelry items are in my etsy shop. There are multiple photos of each item there. Okay, show and share time.

All day photo shoot...argh!

It took all day to do this photo shoot. I had to shoot everything before I take the new work to the gallery. It's March and the season will be starting. I finished all the stacker beads and made necklaces all day Sunday. Whew...I sure hope Andrea likes my new work!

Stacker Beads Intense: March 1, 2012

I rolled out 10 thick sheets of clay and cut little squares with my cutter.

I stacked the colors and formed them into a ball. Then I rolled them into little canes.

This is how I slice the lengths of clay which reveals the pattern created inside. Then I roll them into beads.

This is a shot of the beads before I cured them in the oven. Love the color stories.

I made coordinating round beads to string with the Stacker beads. Today I am drilling each bead.
