PMC Fun!!!

I've been working on Zodiac designs and here is my first one. I did the first one of Cancer, for sissy, since I'm such a good sister. =) She's not too crazy about the name Cancer, and prefers to be called a Moon Child. So maybe I'll create a tiny moon to hang from the next one. They will all have a crystal or bead of the signs colors and a word that describes the sign.

Even though I've been sick...I've been busy...and this Bachelor Button flower is 16 very small pieces that took me nearly a week to finish..it kinda looks like a Scottish Thistle too...I just love it.


Next, I created a delicate tapestry pear...and it's hanging from an even more delicate chain...I'm from pear country, (southern Oregon), so this seemed like a natural.


WOOHOO...I'm in my element and having a ball...

Check out my etsy site...there are lots of bracelets, necklaces, and earrings (that are not PMC) that would be great gifts for Mother's Day.
In honor of our Mothers, I am offering free shipping anywhere in the U.S. on all my beaded jewelry. (not PMC)

PINK ELEPHANT!!!

Just got back from seeing "Water for Elephants" ! What
a wonderful movie...they stayed true to the book and I was so taken with the elephant 'Rosie', in the movie...that I had to celebrate her with a PINK elephant picture.
What fantastic creatures...look at those lucky little birds...free elephant rides any time they want them..

Happy Easter and Happy Passover to all of you...may you get all the chocolate bunnies you want...(or need), if you gave up chocolate for Lent like I did.

Here's to many more great PINK SATURDAYS!!!

Heart Song

Just finished another precious metal piece...the silver jump rings that are piercing the holes move when you wear it...kind of interactive...

It's been a heck of a week and a half...first my husband gets a cold (for 2 weeks)...then shares it with me, and now my sister (studio mate) is coming down with it too. This is a doozy of a cold...cough, stuffed head, sore throat...runny nose...and just generally yucky feeling...I know TMI...but I just felt I had to share...I never get sick...so this got me big time.

Hope all of you are doing better...wash your hands...lots...

Spent the whole day working on Sissy's website and I'm feeling... stresssssed...I wanted to feel calm...so I decided a painting of Tuscany that I painted a couple years ago...might due the trick.

Now...all I want to do is...travel...ahhhh, the Italian countryside...

Where is your favorite place???

SUN???

Sun Oh Sun...where have you gone???

I am so ready for sun...that I just had to share one of my many many sunflower paintings. From Jan-July 2007
I painted nothing but sunflowers...from 4" to 3' . I'm getting the itch to paint more...it's great doing silver
flowers, but nothing beats having paint all over you.



Here's a pic of a PMC sunflower
I did a couple weeks ago, that I
can't bring myself to put up on Etsy. What do you think??

It's PINK time...again...

Happy

PINK SATURDAY

I wish I could claim to have made these...but I found them when I was looking for a pink picture to put on my FB page...in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. My kitchen skills either have the parchment paper catching fire, or adding baking soda instead of baking powder...hence...my sweet husband does the cooking....(and shopping)... I AM going to make some great cake pops next week for Easter...just how hard can it be to bake a cake...mush it up with icing...make it into a ball and dip it in chocolate??? I they even remotely turn out...there will be pictures... Thanks for stopping by...and while you're here...take a look at my fun Precious Metal Clay pieces on my Etsy site...

Hugs to all you PINK LADIES...

The more I work in Precious Metal Clay...
the more I know that whatever you want
to do...it is about 'reaching'. Now I'm even
dreaming about new ideas to do in silver...
you really can teach old dogs new tricks...hehehe...

I'll have more to post tomorrow...just fired 2
new pieces and working on 3 more...woohoo...
