I got this idea from one of the artists on Polymer Clay Central and got her permission to use and adapt it.
This is my first one ever. I like how it turned out, look wise. I will be doing minor changes to the overall design. The ballance is a little off and I had to glue the top “barrette” to the yarn, where I want it to hang free. The weights that I used at the bottom to keep the yarn tight should be baked in to the roses not just attached to them. I will be creating others and hopefully getting them perfect and on the website for sale. I have ideas for making ones with butterflies and other flowers.
Last night I went to check on my beads in the tumbler, only to find that the belt broke! No more tumbling. My husband and just bought the tumbler at Harbour Fright so off we went today to replace it. No problems there, since we had the receipt and got a brand new one to bring home. While we where there (they where have a sidewalk sale) I found a set of craft knifes (similar to Zacto) with 56 different blades and such, 12oo girt wet/dry sandpaper and a cool storage bin on wheels. The storage bin will be useful in toting stuff back and forth to guild meetings and other places. (All kinds of cool stuff will fit in there). The sandpaper, of course, will be helpful in fine sanding with the replacement tumbler. I have been currently using my long blade slicer for everything and at times I realize how foolish that can be (and how unsafe). This afternoon I will be playing with my new “toys” and working on all kinds of stuff. Hopefully even taking some pictures to add the newest creations to the website.
