This is polymer a clay mix, yellow to red hot red.

I like this flame.

Talking to a friend, we came up with the idea of braiding my elastic bracelets. Here, I tried it with black, red, and grey hex beads. Hm.

A few years ago I played around with polymer clay colors. This is yellow mixed with red. The squares at the end are unmixed. The diamond in the center is the two colors mixed, 1/2 of each color. The circles are different ratios of mixing, 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, and 1/4.

Do you see the tulip?

 I’ve decided to do something that I hope is fun. I was just playing around with embellishing buttons and made stems and leaves for these flower buttons. I’m having a drawing to give them away. Just let me know whether you would like the pink or the purple one. You can comment on my blog or email me at jandikk@yahoo.com. I will let you all know who the winners are on the May 28 blog, first names only, of course. Then, the winners can email their addresses so that I can get them in the mail. I think this could be fun, and I’m hoping you all do also. 🙂

Nap time at my house. There was barely any room for me on the couch, to the left and out of the picture. I was working on my August Bead Journal Project. I’ll post it first Monday in August.

My initials.

Here is May’s Bead Journal Project. Half of another Mother/Daughter necklace set. I meant to do a large daisy stitch, but, probably because of the large size of each circle, the flowers elongated into three dimensional loops. I really liked it, so I just went with it.

All the pendants that I’m using on my Mother/Daughter necklaces were found on clearance at Walmart. Except the springs. Those were found on the floor in front of the coffee makers. 🙂

 I had to stop and take a pic of Buddy helping me put clean sheets on the bed. He likes to help. A lot. It’s amazing I get anything done.

I took this pic of the ceiling fan over my bed. I’m challenging anyone to print this out and do something with it. Anything. I’d like to see what other people do. And, with permission, I’d like to post anything you all send me. Should be fun! 🙂
