TAD 8

My TAD 8 became part of my TAD 7. This copper "LIFE" disc was supposed to say "LIVE" but messed that up. I decided to make a ring out of it. I think it turned out okay. Just started snowing outside. Not sure how much snow we will get tonight. It is so very cold outside The high today was 8 degrees. Toes aren't seeing the light of day until Spring...  Brrrrrrr.

TAD 7

I took a Metal Stamping and Texturing class this evening at Heartland Bead Market. I made pieces out of copper and brass. I had a good time and learned a lot. It seems simple to stamp on metal but it is not. I had fun experimenting. The pictures show before and after we put it in liver of sulfur then water and steel wool to polish and polishing pads to give them a beautiful shine. I hope I can make something out of them soon..

TAD 6

Today I made a cuff bracelet. The first one which was the white and black did not work. It broke up and not too happy with the outcome. The second one I made which was the black and white circles cracked and the cording got stuck and couldn't get it out of the channels. The last one I made seems to be promising. I sanded and buffed this one but not sure the cording will go through. I will find out when I try to put elastic through it.30 minute limit out the window:)

TAD 5

I participated in the Cupid Gem show today. Lenexa has this event every year in the beautiful restored historical Thompson Barn. My 3rd year participating.  I shared a table with Deb Williams who has more creativity in her tiny pinky finger than my whole body but so does Donna H. Laughed so much my tummy hurts. MariEtta had a table next to us with her polymer clay creations. She was drinking non-alcoholic beer. She said it was a cappuccino but yet had the bottle sitting on the bench. The Lenexa Police kept looking at her and she ditched the bottle by hiding it in a cloth and walking it over to a trashcan LOL.   Just really a great day!  Had a wonderful time and I "made" money today.  I made my TAD 5 bead with a red leaf cane that I spiraled or swirled & sanded and buffed and I am truly tired.  Thank you my darling hubby for helping me with the show. LYTM!

Not much time today. Starting to pack up for Cupids Gem show tomorrow. My TAD 4 is from scrap polymer clay that I had from a Lindly Haunani DVD. I formed a lizard tail and cut out a pendant. I like the colors. It was sanded and buffed. Wish me luck on the show tomorrow!

TAD 3

Long trying day.  My TAD 3 is a heart shaped bezel with gold polymer clay in the background of watch gears & parts. I then filled it with a 2 part resin that is still wet in this picture. Very tired from a long day and then Auxiliary meeting. Still trying to get everything sorted for the show Saturday…

Fw: TAD 2

TAD 2.
Can you say snow day? I canceled all of my appointments for today but still called them to check on their progress. In between clients I was able to make my TAD 2. I can’t remember the book I saw this ring design in but I remembered how they put it together and created it. The book used the insides of a watch. I put together 2 watch parts to make this piece. The center is a jewel that was already adhered to the watch part. The last picture is a steampunk heart that needed to be repaired on the back. Goes well with my ring don’t cha think?
