We're off to NYC! This is the first time we'll be staying over night for a sight-seeing mini vacation. (Although considering the prices, it doesn't seem like a mini vacation.) I've only been for quick trips in to see a taping of the Martha Stewart show (with Daniele who is Martha without the money). What awaits us besides a Broadway show? Hmmm... Rockefeller Center and observation deck, Toys-R-Us, FAO Schwartz, South Street Seaport, Statue of Liberty, Little Italy (gotta get a cannoli!!). Who knows what we'll end up seeing but one thing's for sure, we'll have a great time!!
I took an etching class lets see... maybe two or three years ago at the local communiy college. I'd played around a little with it after that class but recently found some more interesting findings to work with. Here are a few samples that I will be lising on etsy soon.
Ooh-la-la! C'est francais! Je ne parle pas le francais. Peut-etre un peu mais tres mal!
(I've decided to take out the chain between the two blue glass beads. I think it will look much better...)
Last week I had posted pictures of some PMC work I had done before it was fired in the kiln. Well, here are some of the results!
I had found this really cute chick button that I made a mold out of and had a great idea to make a pendant for those ultra-confident women out there - or for those people who want to bust on someone they know! I think it's funny... I added a handmade sterling silver tag with "Hot" on it and a little ruby for color.
Here's another PMC pendant I made. The heart shapes were made using a pencil eraser that I had carved a heart shape into. I then drew in the stems and leaves and voila!
I found another cute button that had all these hearts on it and had to make a mold of that too. Great for someone special.
I love collecting beads, fabrics and almost anything else because you just never know when you'll be inspired to use your collections to make something new! Some people may say those are signs of a pack rat. I beg to differ...
