Bead table, clay table

Playing with clay...

Well I've been up in my craft room for the past few days just playing around, and here is the result! I still have a lot of sanding and polishing (not my favorite activity) and I am so happy! Can't wait to make them into necklaces! I need to bring my earring inventory up and I also need to get started on making bracelets...for some reason I'm never sure how to start them?! Anyway here are some pictures and since it's rainy and cold today, guess I'm headed back up to the old craftroom....

Wouldn't it be nice if....

You discovered what you truly loved to do, and it payed off. Well at 41 yrs old I've discovered my passion...creating jewelry. I've always been an artist and I do make a living as a muralist and faux finisher however....there's just something about creating beads and putting them together to create jewelry, that makes me quite content. For now, I'm not making a living out of it by any means but, it is paying off. Paying off by taking all of a day's stress away, by showing me I can still create something new and by giving me that great sense of satisfaction one gets by creating a piece of art.
