Orange polymer clay beads

I love these flower beads - I found the project by watching Jewelry Making and have been going crazy with various colors. I have a pile of flower beads now (pictures coming) and lots of jewelry ideas but nothing made yet.

Wow, completely late on my projects for April. We are working with orange and yellow for April so here are a few! I have a few more but my camera battery died on me.
I started out by finally finishing a sewing project - This is a sheer window panel covered with fish and stars. The stars are cut out of quilt material, backed with material, sewn inside out and turned around so they have a soft of 3-d show to it. The fish are cut out of material and have backing just to make them a little stiffer so they will look better.

First, the grouping of fish and stars.

Second, the layout

The kids and I bought one of those, oh what are they called? Where you put plastic pellets into a form, stick it in the oven and bake it until it melts. It is a sun catcher, we planned on putting it in the kids room window. It hasn’t made it there yet. But it was fun to do, I know I did stuff like this when I was a kid and mine had a blast.

I also finally got into polymer clay. Wow I love this stuff! It is so super cheap and there are a lot of online resources to show you projects, help tips, ask questions, even how to clean the pasta machine you use.

I made an “orange” cane

which doesn’t look the best, but it was my first one so I think it looks great considering!

Back later with more polymer clay - beads and canes.
