Play'n With Clay

 

 

 

 

Recently I purchased a  wonderful tutorial from Ginger Davis Allman at The Blue Bottle Tree.  I finally took a break from yard work here and played yesterday.  The tutorial is  fun and  well written.  So easy to follow. 

 I will be looking forward to using these in some jewelry pieces! 

 

 

 

I did decide that I can use brighter colors than I used......the antiquing does calm them down....



I used a crackle finish from DecoArt  and love the way it helped age the beads

 

 

Now I need to go dig though my button stash for more textures.

 

 

Thanks Ginger for all the fun!!

A Time To Stitch Three

 

 

Thanks to Christine and Therese I have been playing with the flying missiles again.  Out of our choices I picked the Russian Spiral and the Brick Stitch.  I started with the Brick Stitch....I can say that I like the Peyote stitch better but, it was fun learning.



I did get to practice my fringe making too!

Next I started practicing my spiral stitches.......

I had no trouble learning them....it was just that I just didn't see me.......
I thought well I did learn.....
I could quit.......
Nah.....keep trying....

 

 

I finally chose  tone on tone with a few accents......more of something I will wear......

 

It's simple and me!

Now I can say I  know a few more stitches!

 

Thanks ladies!!  You are the best!!

 

 go visit Therese or Christine to see what everyone else has been up to!
