I am completely in love with
Pyrrha necklaces. They're gorgeous and I would like one of each please. Unfortunately, this probably won't happen so instead I will make one myself. For my birthday one year, Andrea gave me a subscription to Craft Magazine and in one issue there was a tutorial on how to make jewellery using PMC (precious metal clay). I discovered a place here in Victoria that sells PMC - needless to say I've become a frequent customer. It really is quite satisfying to take a lump of brown clay and turn it into a shiny silver piece of jewellery.
I made some necklaces for friends this past Christmas. I tried to emulate the look of Pyrrha - not quite there yet but getting close. It means a lot to me that both Jen and Tanya wear their necklaces all the time. This bird necklace is one that I made for myself. I quite like it and wear it often.
I made a pair of earring for my mom for her birthday. Thinking about making a bracelet too. The possibilities are endless!!
My parents just came back from an amazing trip to Holbox, Mexico. They brought back with them an amazing selection of shells they found on the beach. Man, are they ever a hit with the girls. Georgie has spent hours taking shells out of one container, examining them and then putting them into another container. Lucy has painted a whole beach worth of shells. We couldn't find any paint brushes, so Mimi came up with the good idea to use q-tips instead. As you can see, we've painted a lot of shells! What a fun (and inexpensive) craft. Thanks Meems & Deeds!
