changes

While the old carpet was removed and the new plank floor being placed I was banished to the art room. (So I wouldn't be breathing in dust and sawdust). Oh poor me, .....not! I have had so much fun playing with beads, polymer and paint that I'm not wanting it to come to an end.
What have I been making? Mysterious pod-blossoms, luminescent polymer beads.
Soon the computer/printer/scanner will be hooked back up and I will be able to show you samples. Soon.....I think! Bill still has to re-wire heaters, and replace trim all round. But soon.

Magical Door Series

Door
Hope; opportunity; opening; passage from one state or world to another; entrance to new life; initiation; the sheltering aspect of the Great Mother. The open door is both opportunity and liberation.

I am enjoying creating magical doors, fairy doors, doors into the otherworld through a stump, a tree a castle wall. Hope you enjoy them as much as I have creating them.

Focal Beads, paper bead style

I had so much fun making clay "paper" beads yesterday that I didn't even get to write and tell you about it. The picture I took of the beads yesterday were before they had been baked.

Today's are made the same way but a little larger to become focal beads and these are baked.

A couple of them just seemed to be right for it's own snake. I will touch the little serpents up a bit. Also will brush a bit of Pearlex powder before coating with Future. (Note three of the beads have been pierced from side to side to hang vertically.)
