Just like clockwork, winter has struck again. The temperature dropped to 9 degrees last night, and then warmed up to 19 degrees today. Guess who is dressed in layers? :)
This is the view out the front door and across the valley to the east today.
So, like any good polymer clay aficionado who has no desire to be out in the elements, I've been playing, um, I mean working! Keep in mind that I'm supposed to be making Christmas ornaments - so where did these autumn-colors beads come from? An imprint mokume gane stack somehow appeared on my clay table last night, and these cute little earring beads are resulting. Of course they are not baked yet because I'm going to make about a hundred more of them before I preheat the oven. :)
One of my favorites to work on...mokume gane! Love these colors!

ReplyDeleteAwesome Jackie !! Please do stay in, as I am old and don't need to worry about you outside.
ReplyDeleteLove your Mokume Gane, great colors!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view too! I miss the snow...
And I miss the warmth, lol! Donna, you don't have to worry, if anybody tries to take me out of this house there will be kicking and scratching! I'm going to stay curled up in my Claypen for the duration. Hugs to all!
ReplyDeleteWinter came around MUCH TOO fast, didn't it?! Love the colors in your mokume gane! Have fun keeping warm and creating in your Claypen Jackie!!!
ReplyDeleteMan! You do great work girl!! This is a technique that I seriously stunk at when I was doing clay *sigh
ReplyDeleteI really admire anyone who can turn it out beautifully like you do :)))
By the way... My 'buttons' seahorse won first place! YAY!!!
What a spectacular view. Sorry that cold weather is back, but looks like your talented hands are cranking out enough wonderful bright little beads/earings to keep your oven fired up and warming you for a while.
ReplyDeleteI missed this post, long ago! Sorry, sweetie! We were playing with the polar bears, LOL. I adore those clay beads. Such great color combinations. And WOW, what a view from your home! That looks like some of the fog shots that I got in Alaska, but I had to travel thousands of miles for the kind of view that you get every day! You did a beautiful job with that photo - BRAVO.
