Making Beads

I'm going to the next level in my jewelry making.  So often, I have an idea but just

don't find the right beads to fulfill my mind's creation.  For months now, I've been practicing making my own beads out of different clays.  I have enjoyed the

differences in clay and what each one brings to my learning process.

My little one wants to be included in all the fun.  Who am I to say no

to art.  He is a similar artist as his dad....messy, messy, messy.  The more paint on

his fingers the better.  Me, I'm the cleanest, most organized artist ever...I think:)

I don't like getting paint on my fingers.  I wash my brushes immediately after I'm done with what ever color.  After days of using my cake decorating skills, scrap booking equipment and jewelry making techniques, I came up with this.

I think it welcomes Spring nicely.  

I had mentioned a Give Away, and I've decided that  a set of handmade beads would

be the ticket.  Stay tuned for the details.
