First off, I’m very very happy to tell you that I have finally been able to start working with metal clay!! I have been longing to get started for a looong time, and now I have – yay! It will probably take some time before I’m ready to show off my work, and when I do, I will probably use another name for my metal clay stuff. But first things first, I haven’t even fired my first piece yet, haha.
Meanwhile, I have been doing some regular beading too. I made this simple bracelet with some luscious agate beads.
I had two leftover agate beads so I also made a pair of matching earrings.
I really like how this set turned out. The combination of deep fuchsia, black and brass – and not to forget, the lampwork bead – really speaks to me. I put them in my Etsy store here and here.
I also decided to put all of the bangles I made (pictured above) for the Rings & Things’ Design Challenge in my store!
Ok, I’m off to do some metal clay-ing – and also, which is very important, to put together my bead soup kit for my partner in the Bead Soup Blog Party! So excited about the party – it has to be the most exciting social beading event ever!!
I love the fuchsia beads!
Me too! I’m usually not so into fuchsia and other pinks, but these I just couldn’t resist!
Helena!
These are really cool! I also want to try working wit metal clay, so i’m waiting for your experience:))))
Thanks! I just got started, but so far so good. I fired on my gas stove and it worked very well!
