New Silver Precious Metal Clay Work

A new silver pendant I just finished.  The stone is a dichroic glass cabochon.  I love using those in my silver because you can fire them in the kiln.  And, I just like the color and subdued sparkle they give.  The silver in the dichroic glass seems to compliment the silver in the pendant pendant. 

Have a great day!

New Art Boxes

I've been pounding away on the clay.  Polymer clay that is.  I'm getting ready for a few Spring art shows that are coming up soon here on the Island.  I've been on a box making frenzy.  I love to make boxes.  They're so much fun!  Here's the last two that I made:

First is a purple dolphin box

The second one is a happy fish box that I made after I found out my pirate necklace got featured by Metal Clay Artist magazine.  Can you tell I was crazy happy??

I have a third large box being cured as I type.  Lots of work left to do on it though.

Have a great day!

Metal Clay Artist Magazine's First News Letter - I'm Featured!

Metal Clay Artist Magazine (MCAM) has started a new monthly newsletter.  Each month they will have a "Monthly Masterpiece" feature.  I'm so happy to say, they featured my pirate necklace for January!  What a thrill!  MCAM is a wonderful magazine and a great addition to the metal clay community.  The newsletter looks like it will be awesome as well.  You can sign up for it at the above link.

Have a great day!

Switching Gears, or Mediums

I love working with silver metal clay.  But, I also love working with polymer clay.  I've been neglecting the polymer lately, so I decided it was time to switch gears and make something different besides jewelry.  I love to make boxes.  Here's two that I just finished.  A turtle box and a dolphin cameo box.



Have a great day!
