Precious Metal Clay Pieces Await Color

Happy Easter Weekend everyone! I'm so glad to get Good Friday off from work! Three day weekends are the best! Finally, I have time to work on some jewelry. I've had this book for some time and from the very first time I saw the pieces with concrete used for color-I wanted to try it. I ordered the concrete and color tint several weeks ago and I have been dying to try it out.

I made these pieces a couple of weekends ago with the intention of filling the little cutouts with colored cement. I feel like this will be a way for me to have color-that you know I love-with the silver pieces. Just more opportunity for creative ideas with the pmc. So, I worked on these two pieces this morning. I'm waiting for the concrete to dry-then I will clean them up and post an after pic!

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Etsy Treasury

I got an ETSY Treasury today! Look what I made! Go and check out the real thing here, it took me an hour to figure out how to just get a snapshot for the above photo. Rediculous. YOu should be able to just have some html and share the dang thing! Anyway, here it is, I would appreciate any views and/or comments. Hugs

Some Work Humor

Cows...A Poem by Richard Armous Cows Do nothing but browse And drowse And now and then moo. That's all they do. Yet even while grazing They aren't lazing. Even while snacking They aren't slacking. If not illustrious Thay are inner industrious, Making milk with all their might. With every bite. Cream too, With every chew. I'd like it fine Could I combine In such measure Business with pleasure . Happy Friday from the Funky Art Queen.
