Two more new Sentiment Pendants "Laugh" and "Art" -- $9.95

Just listed two more of my new Sentiment Pendants made of Polymer Clay.  These 2 are "Laugh" in aqua and "Art" in light grey.  They would make great inexpensive gifts for friends during the holiday season.

"Sentiment" Pendants of Polymer Clay - $9.95

Worked all weekend to finish my new "Sentiment" pendants of polymer clay.  These are really cute and have  sayings such as "Love", "Laugh", "Live", "Poet", "Art", "Sassy" and several more.  Just posted 3 in my etsy shop and hopefully some folks might like them enough to buy some.

It seems as though creating jewelry is just one part of all the steps necessary to get them out there and get the message out there that they are for sale in my shop.  First the photography, then uploading the pics to the computer.  Then tweaking them in a photo editing program.  Next uploading them to etsy and then putting them up on my Facebook, Blog and Twitter.  Wow.  That's a full day's work.  Sometimes I  think I don't charge enough to cover all this extra work.   I guess other artists face the same problems and hours of labor but it is a work of love.  What would I do with all that spare time if I wasn't creating and photographing something?

Red Coral and Seashell Bracelet - $15.00

New Red Coral and Seashell bracelet to match my White and Red Coral Dragon Pin. 
Dragon Pin is $15.00

Husband coming home from hospital

Hubby has been in hospital 6 days now.  They may release him tomorrow, I hope.  Had Congestive Heart Failure.  Filled up with 24 lbs. of fluids.  Haven't been able to create any new jewelry this past week.  Maybe once he's home I can get back to normalcy.

Last October - Getting Published

Was just reminiscing about last July when I received a call from "Haute Handbags", a publication by Stampington, that two of my Journal Purses were going to be featured in the October, 2008 issue.  I was visiting a friend in Long Island when my husband called and gave me the message.  I was so excited.  My friend kept saying she "couldn't get me down off the ceiling".  I spent the next few months eagerly awaiting the book to be out in the bookstores.  Here's a copy of one of the pages from the article.  They really did a nice job of photographing them.

Journal Purses $29.95

  The Journal Purses are made from recycled jeans, images of old fashioned girls, silk flowers, velvet leaves, glass beads, braid and lace.  And they're all fully lined with a cell phone pocket.  Everything is hand sewn, no glue was used.

To see more Journal Purses go to my etsy shop:  http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5334094

I'm worn out!

I wore myself out last night stringing a necklace that has a double strand at the front of the necklace and single strands at each side.  I wanted to make a choker but after four attempts it was still too long.  I'll finish that tomorrow.  Meanwhile I created this pair of Swarovski crystal earrings.  They're so dainty and light.

Dragon Pin - Coral Queen

This highly textured dragon is much whiter than the photo shows, more of a light cream.  She's stolen just about as much real coral  as she can carry back to her lair, which happens to be in the

refrigerator.  She loves ice cream, especially vanilla so be sure to check out the carton before you close it,she may  still be lurking inside.

Dragon Pin - Beach Boy

This little fella spends most of his time at the beach.  He loves the water and hides in the sand.  He carries his favorite sea shell with him all the time.  His color is like milk chocolate and he has topaz crystals amongst his wings  and down his spine.

Dragon Pin - Sleepy Sam

Sleepy Sam.  He's always tired and looking for a place to take a snooze.  Light purple and rose are his main colors. He has a pearl on his head and  amethyst and rose glass crystals go down his back.    If he could only  find a small bed in your house he'd be so content.

Dragon Pin - Violetta

This is Violetta!  She's a shy little violet.  Her colors are pale violet antiqued with burnt umber and given a coat of gloss.  She has blue glass beads and purple crystals adorn the ridge of her back.  A tiny
rose crystal adorns her forehead.  She clutches a larger blue crystal and doesn't let go even when she sleeps. (SOLD)

Dragon Pin - Water Baby

 Water Baby.  This aquamarine dragon is adorned with aqua crystals and freshwater pearls.  She clutches a beautiful large aqua glass crystal which she bounces around in the pool or the ocean.  She's fun loving and likes to play games.  If you have a pool don't let her near the chlorine
-- it's her favorite drink.

Dragon Pins

Earlier this year I started making dragon pins with polymer clay.  I was very inspired by the pins Christi Friesen (pc Artist) made  and I tried my hand at making some.  They came out rather cute.
They are all sculpted by hand and have Swarovsky Crystals and  glass pearls or freshwater pearls wired into the clay so  they  don't fall out.  Sold a few on ebay. Posting a few photos of  them.
Hope you like them.
