I'm no polymer clay expert!!!! LOL
Ok ,so my curiosity got the best of me, and i decided to venture into the world of polymer clay. I know nothing about it, but I've been seeing so many pretty designs from it i wanted to try. So with minimal research(I'm still researching) I attempted my first clay pendant. This was the result..lol. I didn't polish or glaze it so its very imperfect. My take on it is it looks like a 2 week old fetus..LOL! I only made this since i was just trying it out. I must say I actually had fun with it, and I like that everything you make will be unique. I have been watching great tutorials and i'm going to give it another attempt. I will post the results soon.

Michaels Craft Store presents.... The Bead Corner
We love beads and apparently Michaels craft store does too. Michaels has a new section on their website called the bead corner. You can find some helpful tips and tricks,projects,reference charts,and they even have message boards so you can interact with other beaders. I think this is a great idea and just shows you how popular beading has become. Also you can sign up for coupons. You can get up to 40% off a regular priced item plus other bonus coupons. I must say I'm a Michaels addict..lol. When I'm in the bead section i completely lose track of time, and end up with a big dent in my pockets. I also have a soft spot for A.C. Moore. I can get lost in there too.I recently noticed that walmart has expanded their bead section. You can find some great findings at a lower cost there.I love a great bargain!

The stretch bracelet edition
Here are some stretch bracelets i've made. Sorry for the poor picture quality. This was before i got a better camera. I'm noticing a green trend in my jewelry lately. Green is the new black..lol.

Memory wire bracelet
OK this is a memory wire bracelet that I made. I used acrylic faceted beads and added a butterfly charm at the end. I like the way memory wire bracelets look when they're done, but the beading is tedious..lol especially if your using smaller beads. I like the sparkly look that it gives off, and i must say I'm pleased with the outcome.And don't forget all of these items can be purchased at my site on ecrater.

My beaded hair combs
So this is a pair of hair combs that i made. I took me a while to do, but i think they came out nice. I used some glass pearls. This was actually one of my favorite things that i have made. I think they would be perfect for a wedding hair-do. What do you think?
