Putting it together - What I've been doing with some of the polymer clay

I started out with these wood grained looking polymer clay nuggets that I made.
I added some veined quartz,
and
what was supposed to be a toggle, but I decided to let dangle.
I made a brass hook and eye.
I also made brass wire links for the bracelet.
Here's the final product.
If the quartz looks pink, it's not.  It's white.  This bracelet is big and chunky, and it's going to be fun to wear.

I made two of these smiling guys.  They will come back better later.
I decided that one would be enough for a pendant,
but I might take it all apart later anyway, 
so,
here's the result.
Just a pendant, but, you what, These two guys might make a fun pair of earrings.
We shall see what happens!
I had a few left over from this set.
These are in my Etsy store now.
I was going to make a funky, lightweight pair of earrings, instead,
these discs wanted to be reborn in a bracelet.
Here's the final result!
That white quartz sure looks pink to me!  It's really white, though!
I paired the white quartz, the pink discs, and some crystal large holed beads.
This is one cool bracelet!
How about these headpins?
I really like them.
It's hard for me not to have headpins around, and I love them!
I just listed these in my Etsy store now.

This is actually a pendant.  I didn't do anything more than this and list it in my Etsy store.
This would look great on a chain for casual summer to fall wear!
I had extras of these.
They are listed in my Etsy Store.
So I made myself some fun earrings!
I think I'm going to enjoy wearing them!

Well, that's it for now.
What's your favorite medium to work with?
What have you done with your work?

Just playing around and melting glass--Again!!


This is a bead I made using chalcedony and denim blue. Both glasses come from Gaffer, of course!
I think, but I'm not sure, the dark blue in this bead is a reaction between the chalcedony and the denim blue glass.















Here's another view of the same bead.























I call this one Zulu! It reminds me of a zulu mask.
Isn't the mottling great?





















This one I called Mottle.
Isn't the webbing gorgeous?






















Now, the question becomes, what to do with them? What do you think?

Before I forget, this is the last day to register for the blog give away. Assuming I don't forget, the winner will be announced tomorrow!

Just playing around and melting glass!

I've just had the urge to play! I don't know. What do you think? I don't know if anyone will buy these beads, but they sure were fun to make! More came out of the kiln today. These beads seem to have a life of their own. I want to make more. They were fun! They are all 2 inches or more in length. Take a look.
It's a square round tube!
I wish the picture did this bead justice! It's really cool!
I call this one the Corkscrew! Each one was an exercise in color, shape and texture! They were also fun to make!
