Bee Mine



Some may think this necklace is corny but I think it's sweet. I got the idea for this piece from a cute greeting card. The pendants were made with PMC. I made a bunch of new PMC things this weekend and I'm in the process of listing them on Etsy.

I'm finding that PMC is much more time consuming than I ever anticipated. Molding the clay is fairly easy. But then you have to sand the pieces, fire them, polish and add a pantina. It's a lot of work which unfortunately drives the prices up. I just want people to understand that for the higher price, they get a completely original piece of art!

Hearts and Garnets


I know it's been a while since I've posted! We just completed our move to Ohio and it was such an ordeal! Unfortunately, we're moving next June so we'll have to do this all over again before we know it.

Anyway, we still have boxes everywhere but I've managed to unpack my beads and make something new. This is an 18 inch necklace with a Bali S clasp in the front. The length is adjustable. This Y design has been popular in recent years and I think it makes the heart pendant really stand out. The heart is Hill Tribe Silver and I've added some genuine garnet accents!

Very pretty! I'm tempted to keep it for myself but I'll probably put it up for sale on Etsy. My jewelry box is a little crowded at the moment.
