Clay Mate , circular clay bead. Inez Dunn©2014 |
In my part of the world the days are getting shorter,
colder, and darker. And that can only mean one thing: its time to start baking!
No, I’m not talking cookies and bread; I’m talking about “CLAY”! Clay is
ideal for this time of year and for the simplest of reasons, working with
clay requires long quite hours. It’s the perfect art project when waiting for
the sun to come-up long after 8:30am!
(In the above photo) My inspiration for this necklace design
began with the smaller golden (Lucite) bead. As I searched for a matching bead
to complete my necklace I came-up dry, and that’s when I decided to stop looking,
and make my own! I love this type of challenge and I challenge all of you “lovers
of beads” to do just that, make your
own!!! Send me photos of your very
best and I’ll include them in next months post.
