Although I've offered heart shaped pendants for a while now, I figured I better get a move on and list some on Etsy in time for Valentines Day! The pendant above is in my new pinkish glaze- I'm really tempted to name it "piglet" but not sure if that color label would turn anyone off?! Any opinions?
Then I worked on some cute little heart shaped beads. These have the hole running diagonally across the heart. I think these would be super cute in a bracelet!The swirly ones below are my "duds". I don't usually have so many failures in a batch but I made those with fairly small holes and the combination of a runny glaze and the hole shrinking during firing meant that I had 9 beads where the wire they were suspended on during firing couldn't slide out. Any one want them for scrapbooking, to put in a little bowl, to carry in your pocket, to put in a fishbowl...? First person who leaves a comment asking for them and telling me what plans you have for them gets them!
Last but not least I finished up some more of my floral link beads- I REALLY love these, especially as a big chunky focal in a bracelet. They're kind of vintagey feeling to me, definitely very feminine but since they're a good chunky size and weight they don't seem frou frou.
I have lots of things planned for today, first I need to get some beads listed on Etsy then I have some new bead ideas to work on. I wish I didn't have to do the listing part today, I'd much rather go play in the clay and make some jewelry!
oh oh oh!! I love the ceramic connectors. Those. I have to have those.
ReplyDeleteHey, I would love to have those little guys. I have the perfect project in mind. I have some pewter frames that I think one would fit in. Glue it in and use Diamond glaze or Amazing glaze to make a little 3-d picture. Hummmmm.....what do you think?

Lorelei,
ReplyDeleteThey're $10 each, want to put dibs on any particular one? :)
Carlene,
Congrats, they're yours! That sounds like a great plan for them and I'm happy that they'll go to a good home! I'll email you for your shipping address.
I hope you can hold the olive green one for me, Mellisa. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI will be able to purchase from you Thursday if that's ok.
Actually hold the blue one too for me.
1 blue, 1 green.
thanks!
Me again!!
ReplyDeleteI looked at the pic again of the connectors. what is the color that is the one on the most left of the photograph? I think this is the one I had my eye on when I initially commented.
