Yesterday and today I had the gals over for more clay fun. Tricia's rose came out pretty cool, though I forgot to get pictures. Croa was extra creative and came up with food stuffs. She and I now have a nifty hotdog/cheeseburger earring set!
The food trend continued tonight as evidenced by the next few pictures. I believe I am missing a few things, like Trishie's fries and Cora's Margarita
I was trying to figure out what to do for Bro's rosary. I came up with the canes below. They kind of have a stained glass look to them. The cross one looks more like a turtle shell. Oh well. All of the rosaries will use the cross one.
Next are the pieces (which still need to be baked) to finish all the beads I need for Nizz's rosary. It's hard to see, but I used the dusty rose and burgundy to make a windy design on the cross. I'm not sure about it. We'll see how it looks when I string everything. I may re-do it. :)
Here are the "Our Father" beads. I'm not sure I like how they came out. As usual, a work in progress. :) I may pick up some more of the burgundy and pink to make a gradient to re-do the cross. We'll see.
Part of me is afraid I've bitten off more than I can chew with this project. Though, I do have a good dent in them. I still need to make a ton of pens for the guys. Those I can whip out in an evening though. I did find that we do have jewelry boxes at Michael's. Score.
Oh yeah, I picked up a 2nd job at the craft store (Michael's). Subsidizing the craft habit is a good thing. Hopefully the extra exercise will be good for my back too. I barely made it through my shift this past saturday. That's why I like the crafting, it's easy for me to do, as long as my arthritis behaves. Hopefully keeping busy like this will keep it at bay too.
More to come soon!
