It's time for yet another reveal at Art Elements, and this month, Claire Fabian has thought of 'White' as the theme. I ran through my ever-growing to-do list of projects, wondering if white could be the star in any of them. In the end, as it happens more often than not, I made a brand… Continue reading Elegant White Earrings

Black Comet Earrings
A quick post about a quick pair of earrings that I made - I had some blackened translucent polymer clay left over from my image transfer attempts for the coasters that I made recently. I used these for a couple of charms, and made an earring pair by adding in a bunch of bead components… Continue reading Black Comet Earrings
Art Elements Mar Theme – Nests
I've loved following the Component of the Month challenges from the folks at Art Elements, where team members would give away components every month to design with. I've seen some gorgeous stuff from the AE team as well as the guests. The only reason that kept me from participating is that historically, I've received most… Continue reading Art Elements Mar Theme – Nests

A PCA-inspired project that I truly loved researching and working on -- Polymer Clay Soutache earrings! Before I registered for PCA, I had no idea what soutache is.

Or it could be a wire-weave tiara, if you ask my favorite model, Penguin. 😉 For this bangle, I used three 16-gauge base wires and a 24-gauge weaving wire, both in a gold… Continue reading Wire Weave Bangle
Beaded Earrings for a Set
I made companion earrings to wear with my beaded pendant -- the image-transfer one. While I was looking up stitches to use, I ran into a tutorial by Bronzepony Beaded Jewelry for exactly the design I had in mind! That's the second time this month I'm running into ready-to-use recipes for stuff that I want… Continue reading Beaded Earrings for a Set
