Day Two - Still on Track...

Whew! Made it another day. Actually, I was able to finish 8 new pieces! Winning the battle against procrastination is quite unusual for me and dare I say, exhilarating!

Here are a few of my favorite pieces from today...


A resin pendant on Greek leather cord with Akoya pearl and porcelain bead dangles.
I love keepsake jewelry for mom and baby...


These tiny charms were handformed from PMC silver clay. Yes, clay. It's amazing - very maleable, easy to work with, exactly like clay - after firing, the binders burn off leaving only 99.9% pure fine silver.

These two charms were actually made almost 2 years ago, I just never did anything with them. So I strung them on a sterling box chain (my favorite), and voila! I love the result - simple, sweet and modern chic.



And 2 more nursing necklaces...


Ok, confession time...

I had previously stated that I wasn't going to buy any more supplies until my 100 item challenge was completed. But... today I bought some more resin and some really fun art paper. Normally I would resign this to a complete lack of self control. However, this time I have a perfectly ligitimate excuse. I have two custom orders I am currently working on, including one from a repeat customer. That is the best complement of all, so I am quite thrilled.

Your work is beautiful and so appreciate al your advice, but once the pieces are made, how can you attach them to cords etc..do you drill it??
sorry to be so ignorant about the process
