So I haven't had a lot of free time lately, but here's a few things I just got around to photographing:



Jellybean bracelet. (I'm pretty convinced that these beads look like jellybeans.)

Been a while since I've posted here.

Been very busy actually selling stuff I've made. It amazes me that people will buy it. And the best compliment is when I hand someone a pair of earrings and they say, "You made this?"

The most fun I had making earrings was this celtic knot:

Can you iron 100 percent polyester?

[addicted2crafts.livejournal.com]

I saw this great mens 5 xl 100 pewrcent white zip up hoodie, and it was a steal to marked down from 35 dollars to 5 but it's 100 percent polyester, so I didn't get it. However now I am wishing I had, because I could of cut out fleece pumpkins and hand sewed them to the jacket, and not used iron ons.


Also I found a gorgious 300 thread count king size stripped pure white damask at the store too, 16.99. Normally that'd be like 85 bucks.  it's 100 percent cotton outter with poly ester batting I believe. Washing instructions say tumble dry in dryer on low, and I was wondering if you could iron the damask too. Someone said try putting a sheet between your iron and the damask an it should be ok, but I don't want to accidently ruin it.


Sorry for the posts with no pictures, I don't have my digital camera any more.

Some simple necklaces that I've made by recycling old single earrings - something that I've gotten into recently and might have picked up from this comm! It's just so easy and economical and, well...cute!

But the thing I have a hard time with is finding chains. Where do you beaders/jewelry makers out there find your chains, esp if you're in the Twin Cities area?

Thanks!

Undies!

I had these really sweet Superman PJ pants, but they were to skinny-legged for my liking, and a bit too short. I loved the material too much to part with it, so I cut the legs off and made PJ-long shorts...and undies!

( Pants + Scissors = shorts and undies! )

So as well as working in the car yard I've also been working my jewellery.

Thanks for looking and any feedback would be great!

Hey there!

Sometime before last Christmas I bought a bunch of Sculpey, with my only experience with clay being in a ceramics class. Not quite the same thing (of course I knew that when I bought them.) I made a few cute things that were Christmas themed and now I want to branch out. However, I don't have a good work space. All I have is the kitchen table, which works ok, but it's not perfectly smooth and up until now I've just been laying newspaper down. Which I'm sure you know, clay picks up the newsprint.

So all of that useless backround info was to ask the following question: What can I buy (preferably cheap) to protect the table and the clay?
Also, is there anything you use in particular to get the clay off of your hands when you are done with one color? No matter what I always end up getting a bit of color mixed in with the white and lighter color clays.

Thanks! And sorry for a lack of pictures!

ETA: I was thinking about adding some glitter to the clay. Can I bake it without the glitter burning? Or should I just wait until I glaze the piece and mix the glitter into the glaze?

zombie decor

[misszombie24.livejournal.com]

okay so i'm super excited for halloween this year. it's the first time i'll be dressing up in a loooooong while and, since the husband and i finally moved out of my parents house and got our own place, i get to decorate! not that my mom wouldn't decorate. i totally get my need for decorating and going all out for the holidays, from her. it's just know, i can decorate any which way i want! and the way i want is zombie-ish. i'm obssessed with zombies (could you tell?) and would love to some how 'zombify' my house (okay not house, triplex). i've got a few ideas down, but was wondering if anybody had any more ideas/tips/suggestions/anything they'd like to share.

my ideas, pics of my house, and more info under the cut.

So here are the results of my previous sculpey questions!

The glitter is much prettier IRL.
Oh and if anyone was wondering, I did try mixing the glitter into the clay and it didn't work at all lol. It trapped air between the glitter and the clay and when baked it kind of made it pop out in all the places where the glitter was. It looked like it had chicken pox.
