Day 13:: Writing Challenge:: AWESOMENESS:: Beads

This blog is called

"For the Love of Beads,"

and 

I would be remiss if I didn't talk about my favorite subject.

I've been making beads for almost 9 years now.  

Those are the glass beads that I have been making for that long.  

I have only recently started making polymer clay bead.

There have been issues that forced me into polymer clay because I needed the creative act of bead making to help me through some very difficult times that continue.

I have now fallen in love with polymer clay and all it's possibilities.

If you look at this pile of beads, 

you'll see what I mean.

I've sorted out most of the beads.

There are birds of a feather, but of different colors and sizes.

I don't care if it's glass or clay,

I love making discs.

These discs will fare well in the jewelry that I envision with them.

Then there are focals.

Each one is unique.

(I can't seem to make two beads alike no matter how hard I try.

Glass or clay,

It doesn't matter.)

Soon, I'm hoping that I'll be able to get back to glass, but I don't know when that will be.

It doesn't matter,

Glass

or 

Clay.

AWESOME!!

Relaxing with Polymer Clay

I played with polymer clay today,

and it was fun!!

The colors are actually green based, but the photos show them as blue.

 

I told you it looked blue, but it really IS green.

 

The start of canes.

At last, the right color.

And now, I sand!!!

Blog Give Away!!!

It finally occurred to me this morning that

I did not mention my Facebook page giveaway here,

so.......

I decided to have another give away on the blog.

If I calculated correctly,

there should be 45 days until the official start of fall.

Yikes!

So, I am giving away two "fall" items.

This fall focal,

but see that little bit of blue on the bottom?

That's the sticky tack. 

It stays with me.

I'm also going to be giving away this set of fall beads.

I made them using polymer clay.

You will receive 1 acorn, 1 mushroom, one pumpkin, one ghost pumpkin, and 

one bird.

Now, what do you have to do to win one of these?

Easy Peasy.
