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 - 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.

Polymer Clay Seahorses

After painting for awhile, I got the itch to go back to working with polymer clay. I don't know about you, but when I'm working on a particular craft or painting, I start to get ideas for something else I want to create. My brain is always running ahead of my hands.

Once again, inspired by Christi Friesen, pc artist of California, I tried sculpting seahorses and made a few pins and pendants. These too are encrusted with Swarovsky Crystals and Pearls, all wired into the clay so they don't come out.

I'd love to hear your comments on any of my creations.

A Few More Pendants

Here are a few more Japanese style pendants of polymer clay. Haven't had much time lately to work on clay jewelry as I'm trying to get a few more recycled jeans purses finished to put on eBay. My workspace consists of a small, round dinette table on which everything has to be done (except eating). So I can only work on one type of project at a time. Oh, for a studio of my own.

I'm very new to this blogging business and I'm trying to change a few things about my bloggers template. Such as making the left and right borders narrower so the main section can be wider and I could write more text and add more photos without the photos squishing the text. Anyone out there know how to do this??? I could use some help.

Polymer Clay Pendants

I've ransacked my computer drives for some pendants I've made in the past few years and came up with these pics. Will post more later.

My First Blog

This is my first blog! I wonder if anyone will be interested in reading it after I get some pictures up. Maybe! Hopefully!!!!

I'm hoping this blog will help me to show others what I have created and to discuss our shared interests, i.e. oil painting, photography, polymer clay jewelry, crystal jewelry and my latest creations in recycled jeans, --Vintage Ladies denim purses. These are really cute. I'd like to get some feedback from other artists/craft persons.

I'm off to take some photos to share with you.
