Here is another pendant that I made from bronzclay. Once again I set a cabochon that I made. This pendant is actually an earlier one that I forgot to photograph. I was messing around with using the small silver balls… which I love! And then I set the cz in and embeddable prong setting. I think it is kind of fun. Anyway, I’ve got sooo many ideas for this metal clay floating about in my head, and even tools to try but with the dreaded illness running amok in our house I have not been getting much done! However, I have high hopes for this weekend. DH is scampering off to San Francisco with the girls to visit family so I plan to play and experiment! Wish me luck!

I am still having lots of fun playing with this bronzclay! I made this rather large ring which is quite fun to wear.

I am also having lots of fun making cabs to set in the clay. This ring uses a boro cab that I made which has a nice golden sparkle to match the bronze.

Nice soft focus on my wrinkled hands don’t ya’ think?!

For my next project I think I’ll make a crazy “brass knuckles” style ring… what do you think?! Ha!

I’ve just found time to play with some bronzclay. It is pretty cool stuff! I’m pretty happy that I got it to work right out of the package and it fired in my kiln without incident! Yeah! Now that I’ve made this test piece I need to get busy because I’ve got a few more fun ideas that I’d like to make. Stay tuned…

I just love these big ol’ Lucite beads. They are big and… light. I love necklaces to make a statement but I don’t want to have a tired neck at the end of the day so Lucite works great for this! It is a fun necklace that I love to throw on with a t-shirt and jeans, not to mention it was quick to whip up. Sometimes simple is nice.

Did you think that YOJ – Year of Jewelry had died? I know… it certainly has slowed down. I tell ya’ sometimes I just don’t know where the time goes! But I have been making a few necklaces lately. This one uses black cord and knotting. I kind of like it! I really like the focal bead which is why I snapped it up from the Mart. Anyway, I’ve got a few more pieces to share so keep watching!
