3 Traditional Thursday 3/5/15 (Marco Antonio Solis, Muted Duo's and Contests!)


Since I have been showing off some of my new DISPLAYS that my dad has made me I thought I would show off what my set-up usually looks like!!  Here are some photos from the last show I did.... 




 
Tomorrow I'll show you photos as I set up... I hope you watch!!  


I finished it, yes I DID!!  I am so pleased with the way that this portrait turned out.   I hope that the custom is just as happy with it!!  If you look below the main photo you'll see the 'making of' video.  I'd love to know what you think of it!! 




Today I am going to be starting something simple... I hope you watch, this one will go quick! Remember, you can come over to my Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page  were I post 'working' photos throughout the day.

6 What's New Wednesday 3/4/15 (Dragonflies, Marco Antonio Solis Portrait and Magic by Leah)

 

Yesterday I showed you all the earrings I had made for the show - and the wonderful earring racks that my father had made for me.  Today I get to show you something NO ONE has seen before!! My dad and I talked over some things that I wanted...mainly a display stand for ALL of my bracelets!  I also wanted something that gave then 'height' (something that is very important at shows).  So, after bouncing things back and forth this is what my dad made me....now, it all comes apart for easy storage and there are MANY more racks that I can add as I add more bracelets...but just look at this.....aren't I SOOO LUCKY??? Oh, did I mention that it also TURNS????  :)  :)  happy dance! :) :)




These might not be new, but they are still wonderful....just look at all the dragonflies!!

Today should be my last day of beading on this portrait!!  I am so excited!! It is hard to see in some of the photos, but there is so much detail to this creation!!!  I hope that I do Marco Antonio Solis proud!!  Just think of my customer who had this made for her MOM....talk about a special gift!! Remember, you can come over to my Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page  were I post 'working' photos throughout the day.

Yesterday I introduced you to  Leah Fisch the owner and designer of
MagicByLeah and today I get to tell you more about her!!

 Moving from brown 'lumps' of clay in kindergartener to play dough and then onto Polymer Clay creating sculptures has been something Ms. Leah has always done!!  And she says that she is still learning....always looking for the next book or video to learn some new technique or trick! 

I must tell you that she is her own best critic!! She actually compares one face to another to find out where she can make improvements!  When I look at her creations I am simply amazed!!  She calls herself a novice, but I have to tell you that is now what I see!  I see beautiful creations with an amazing attention to detail! 

When I asked her if / where she sold her creations her answer was PERFECT:  Sculpting is my hobby. My temporary sanity as I escape from the real world into the magic hidden in the polymer clay. My sculptures are typically made as gifts or practice figurines. I sell some of my work on Etsy but more often than not I get attached to each piece and can't imagine parting with it.

Although she hasn't won any awards yet, I think it is just a matter of time!!  Just look at her creations!!

So, go check out all her sites, like/fan them and make sure if you are wanting to learn that you also visit her YouTube Chanel.  Make sure you let her know where you heard about her....and that you go back and watch for new creations!! :)

2 Making Monday 2/2/15 (Marco Antonio Solis, St. Agustine Lions Seafood Festival and Like it-Share it-Comment!)


Over the weekend I have been so busy!! I made earrings.....LOTS and LOTS of earrings!!!  Since I have this show this coming weekend I wanted to bring out my earring racks and use them again!!  My dad made these for me and all my shelving!!  This show I'll have a new display for my bracelets too....I can't wait to show THAT off!! But back to the earring racks.  Each one holds 125 pairs....I am going to put 2 of them out!! So, when I say I made LOTS of earrings, I made LOTS - about 200 so far - earrings!!!  I'll show them all off once I get them done!! :)


These Magnesite stones have the look of Turquoise but at a fraction of the cost!! These are large, bold and FUN! I matched them with Silver Plated end caps and Red Swarovski Crystals! A LARGE toggle leaf clasp just finished off the look!
