Description
I've been making jewelry for years now. I always give them away so I have very few pics of the things I have made.My mother found a pic of a potpourri bracelet in a magazine that was selling for $400 bucks and she wanted me to make it...so I did. It got me hooked on making these bracelets though and I have made about 10 of them now. All different. I make my own beads and then get some from the store.
This bracelet is my winter version.
Thanks for stopping by.

Beautiful. I like the colors. Did you imitate the picture she showed you exactly or take liberties??
How long does it take you to do a bracelet like this?

HI! Good to hear from you.
No imitation at all. It's just the same type of bracelet "potpourri". I made it pretty quickly.

Oh so she just wanted the type! I see! That's awesome.

You should. I love working with my hands...not just pushing around a mouse.

Yeah...it's really different. My teacher calls using a mouse like trying to move shit with a potato.

The only textural feel you get is the mouse. I like feeling the clay, wire, glass, cloth. Squishing clay is very satisfying.

I bet! Although I draw my experience from play-doh ^_^. Haven't had any clay projects since elementary school ceramics!

I love the smell of play-doh. Love all your new pics btw. You are talented. I was wondering if (if you had the time) you could make things for your photos. Like a paper mache pumpkin for a halloween pic. Or even some simple jewelry. I doubt you have the time but maybe in the future.

I miss play-doh. I was so sad when my mom took away my little cousin's play-doh gift before I gave it to her, citing "allergies" (I was trying to encourage creativity!).
Thanks
Do you ever feel that way?

Do I feel that way!?! Are you kiddin? haha. Actually, I pretty much always have ideas in my head I just don't have the energy to do. Well...the will-power. :/

Wow! You don't really give this stuff away, do you? You're out of your mind!! People pay good money for gorgeous pieces like this.

haha. I was thinking about you the other day. I don't watch the news much but a friend said there was a tornado in hawaii. Kinda strange.

love this one... I've done some beading/jewelry making too, but I really want to make my own beads.. how did you start?
(like a need a new hobby!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. I found a lot of things online about beadmaking with polymer clay. Lots of people make "canes" and then form them into beads. Canes are polymer clay cut and rolled into a can shape. I am not good at explaining it and I have never made a cane before. 
I also tried glass. I think its too dangerous for me.

aaahhhh....I've actually made some polymer clay beads... but nothing that I truly liked... I've added them in hemp bracelets. I want to do glass, but I'd probably fail! need goggles too!

Just don't leave the glass out of the flame for very long.
