Polymer Clay Day #45: Lava Bead Tutorial and Lava Love Pendant With Matching Earrings!
Polymer Clay Day #44: Various Circle Triangle Zebra Print Pendants
Love love love Sundays. Today the sermon addressed the common stereotype that Christians are judgmental, and how that drives hoards of people away from church, away from Christ. The take home message was that judgement is necessary in life, but there is a way to go about it with love. And if we aren’t coming from a place of love in our judgements, we are probably best to just keep quiet. Like if someone I love is in an addiction, I would ideally approach them with an awareness of and openness about my own shortcomings as opposed to coming at them from a place of self righteousness and superiority. The summary take home sentence was “I want to be handled gently, and I am not perfect.” So, I will meditate on that and keep it as my filter to the best of my ability this week – until I go back next Sunday, and Danny gives another sermon that hits home with a new sentence.
Polymer Clay Day #43: Water Slide Transfer Beads!
I usually post finished jewelry as opposed to just polymer clay beads, but I was too excited about these to wait for the finish to dry. I love things that rock out and are easy to make, like these. All I did was put a Lisa Pavelka water slide transfer on white clay, cut to desired size, then baked. The transfers come in many different designs and couldn’t be easier to use. There is even blank transfer paper to print your own designs on, which I have yet to try. It is not carried in any of the local craft stores near me, but you can order it (any lotsa other awesomeness) from her online shop, here. I get no kickbacks or freebies for posting this, I just love it and want to share. Gonna order me some of those blankies. Combining my graphic design with polymer clay… it is almost too much craft bliss.
Polymer Clay Day #42: Storage Bins with Clay Number Embellishments…
Let me just first say… I am baaaaack!. So wifi capable now. Wow. What did I ever do before this laptop merged with my body. Remember this post? I prettied up some storage bins I scored at a yard sale. I only did two of the 4. See…
No Clay Day 4
Moving and unpacking has been a bit more involved than I had anticipated. Pretty much need to paint every room, while living out of boxes piled in the garage. Gonna be awile before getting back to 100 days of polymer clay. Also, no internet until Friday. Blogging withdrawal forced me to post my bathroom painting projext drom my Droid. Missing the clay. Back to it ASAP. Craft room walls next!
