I know that Helen Breil has a lot of fans out there!

I'm happy to say that I've received a few new images using her brand new texture stamp designs.

Can you believe that both pendants are made  using the same texture?  "Manic Monday"

Newest Flexible mold by Penni-Jo

14 Piece Drill Set Complete with 12 different drill bits

I keep looking for new and useful tools.

This set is one that I love.  It allows you to be precise when drilling polymer clay.

I used a pin vise to  pre-drill very small holes (approx 3/16" deep) before glueing buna cord inside) I then finished it off with an o-ring on either side. It gives a nice clean look.

Here is the Pin Vise Set

 Here is the Double-Ended Pin Vise to use with your own drill bits.

A cool and refreshing version

I came across this necklace created with the Organic CaBezel mold.
The colours drew me in. So crisp and clean and refreshing. I really like how each of the bezels was made using a different colour from within the translucent cane. It makes me wish summer was just beginning.
