                              I can't believe it has been so long since I posted to my blog - but it has.  So I think I'll just add a few things now, and then perhaps catch up a bit later.
I've been playing around with some polymer clay again and working on some faux turquoise.  I added a little Inka gold to some and like how the two combine.  So you can see some of my results below.
Or maybe it's above??? Darn computer has readjusted stuff again, so now I have to figure out how to get things where I want them - again.  But you get the idea.
I like the earrings, very light weight and comfortable to wear.  I like the idea of making my own ear wires, but may try a lighter weight of silver wire.  The other bead may become a brooch or?? haven't decided yet.
More later!

Well, I finally finished another piece of my 'Bits and Pieces' jewelry, and will add another one that I haven't shown before.  These are fun to make,  but take time and can be a little tedious, so I just do them when the mood, and time, strikes.


 This is the newest piece. It also has a pouch on the back for your glasses, amulet, whatever. ?????
The 'opal' in the center is polymer clay (also made by me) - much more sparkle in person.  Amazingly looks very much like a true opal.  Wonderful things you can do with polymer clay.

This is the other, older piece I mentioned above.  Perhaps it's my bad photography, but this one looks a Lot better in person than in this photo.  (I just got a new iPhone 6S, so hopefully my photos will improve now)
