1st of November

Today is the first of November and there is much to do. Christmas is less than than a full two months away and there is much crafting to be done. With the potential of a craft fair coming up in December, I have a lot that needs doing. Suppose I should get to it then, hadn't  I  :)

Mums Birthday Present Complete

I manged to complete Mums birthday present in true fashion, on the day about half an hour before we gave it to her. I have limited photos but here is what it looked like part way through plus the nouveau  pendant which we gave as a birthday present to another friend.

the obsidian like pendent with flowers

the nouveau pendent which was finished with a bright blue cord

small round beads which were turned into earrings, and bracelet

There were more round beads made using the same flower cane but different style and of varying sizes. These were used in the earrings and necklace. 

Mum's Birthday Present

I have started to make mums birthday present and it has been very frustrating, I attempted to make look a look a like garnet out of polymer clay and failed miserably. but as I screwed it up I ended up with a very cool pendant that looks sort of art nouveau which is kinda cool. Ended  up doing a snowflake obsidian pendant and several other beads for mum, still have a couple to go.
