Wire and Clay and Beads, Oh My!

Yes, I am allowed to do a play on words with a Wizard of Oz reference...I am from Kansas ya know?

Another craft I like to dabble in is jewelry making. This weekend I this cool necklace with three cords inter-twining with each other. It was actually a kit I got at Michael's, but now I know how to make these necklaces and can put my own spin on it. They might be a good bridesmaid gift for a wedding or something....hmmm....

I have also decided how to finally effectively use polymer clay. I can make my own beads! This is very exciting to me. I knew it was possible, but never really tried it. Now that I've tried it I'm hooked. I created these pink and white beads and connected them with chain to form a necklace. I ran out of beads and chain, so its not as long as I wanted it. So, since I don't have to go to the store to find the exact beads I used...I just made some more! Such fun happenings!



Sorry that the picture quality isn't that great. I took the pictures of the necklaces inside, but then thought I could get a better one outside so I wouldn't have to use a flash. That didn't work very well and I decided not to post those. One thing I need to work more on is my photo taking abilities. Especially with up close subjects. I better get to working with that macro setting on my camera.
