My most recent work

Don't you just love the look of turquoise! I do, so I made some faux turquoise and then I turned it into cabochons using the CaBezels molds to help me and voila! An oversized pendant and earrings were born.

You're not the only one with money on her mind. The International Museum for Women in San Francisco is now hosting an online exhibit called Economica. It sheds light on women's economic standing around the globe.

Here's a selection from the exhibit:

Make your own texture tool

This isn't my idea. I wish I knew who to give the proper credit to. One of my fellow guild members (Janice V) was using her nifty tool and she told us how to make it,the next month another member (Barb B) brought in a little bag for each of us filled with everything we needed to make our own so I went home and did just that.
It's quite simple to make. I guess you could make it any shape you wanted to but this shape is easy to hang on to.
Grab some scrap clay, roll it into your preferred shape and then simply roll it in a pile of different sized/shaped salts,sugars,sprinkles or even little beads. Bake and voila! An instant texture tool.

Rings

Deborah Groom recently did a demo at a clay retreat in Victoria B.C. She showed them how to make rings using the CaBezel molds and then she graciously sent me some images of the rings that they made.
I'll add the pics when Blogger lets me!
