Keep on rolling

Dear blog readers,

This past week has been so great: no office to go to! So far I dedicated almost all my spare time to working with my beloved clay. As you could read in the previous message, Marijke triggered my inspiration, and I haven't stopped since. So last Thursday 6 items were sold, and in the meantime I have made 10 new necklaces, some with matching earrings. This way my colleague Mieke will have something to choose from next week when she will pick out a present for her best friend.

I used new colours, a new brand of clay (Cernit: in the colours pine green and emerald), and tried several ways of tying it all together. Let me show you a few of my babies:

At KreaDoe a couple of months ago I purchased silver foil and worked with that again. It looks nice, but not too adventurous. I am sure there is more to be done with it.

Furthermore, I repaired my neighbour Marjan's necklace by replacing the strap and attaching a proper lock to it. In return she gave me several types of small beads, really nice stuff. The really super small grey beads I incorporated in my latest creation, they go very well with the granite clay and blue sparkles. Thanks, Marjan!

Let me call it a (clay) day, tidy up and do something else. On the other hand...
