I promise more clay and tutorials over the weekend. I have been busy schooling myself in HTML. On that topic, here is a wonderful website with free HTML courses. It is interactive and starts at the most base level (which I appreciate). I will keep you posted as I progress through this site. So far I have finished the “Basic HTML” course.

A Few Clayless days… A Blogger’s Fresh Start…
Not sure what spawned it, but I have delved back into the land of HTML code for the past couple of days. I would like to monetize my blog by doing product reviews and giveaways, and I will only take that dive when I have figured out how to get the exact site design I want (without paying hundreds of dollars to some very talented designer to do it for me :). Gotta be a good steward of the finances I am blessed with, and my situation just doesn’t have room for that kind of expense.
Polymer Clay Day 72: "Love Today" Pendant
Polymer Clay Day 71: "Awesome in Power" Pendant
This is a continuation of Tuesday’s clay theme, inspired by the Chris Tomlin and Toby Mac concert I attended last night. Again, I made the image in Photoshop and worked it into this polymer clay creation. The concert was wonderful, and totally worth the state fair poo smell and severe heat. I woke up morning of with food poisoning and was certain I would not be going to the show. Some prayer, a nap, Tylenol cold, and praise music later, I knew I would regret not going. By the time Chris Tomlin was half way through his first song, I had forgotten I was sick. Toby Mac put on quite the performance as well, and watching the lil’ kids dance and sing along with him was priceless.
Polymer Clay Day 70: "Our God Is Greater" Pendant
Today’s project stems from my excitement about tomorrow night’s Chris Tomlin and Toby Mac concert I am attending with my momma, and awesome friend Shannon. I am giddy. I never thought I would see the day that there would be a concert my mother and I would both want to attend. Her with her Celion Dion obsession, me with my grunge, alternative rock, techno, ani difranco thing I have going. Leave it to Jesus to bring us together at a Christian rock concert. He is our glue.
Polymer Clay Day 68: Timeless Love Pendant; And CONTEST WINNER!
I am going to have to post a tutorial on this technique. I think that will be next week’s tutorial. It is super easy, and the feathered effect is pretty cool. That is it. That is what I’ll do. New color scheme, clay combing in the near future. Get your toothpicks ready folks.
