Blu and I would like to wish all of you a happy and safe holiday weekend. We are a little early but I think I might be a bit busy this weekend.
I recently got another great deal on premo! clay and managed to add 36 pounds of new clay to my already bulging stash. This new clay is just begging to be incorporated into beads, canes, buttons and anything else I can think of.
I am in the process of finishing up a stash of buttons for a scrapbooking get together where all of the proceeds go to help PS 37 , which is a special education school in Staten Island that services children with all forms of disabilities, including Autism, Down Syndrome, MS, etc. The proceeds from the 2nd Annual ALL DAY CROP FOR EDUCATION on September 25th. I took a lot of my larger kaleidoscope canes that I could no longer use for covering beads and sliced them into funky buttons for the group.
Then, I went overboard a little and just started slicing canes and leaves and flowers and the next thing I knew, I had over 2 pounds of buttons to send them. I will post photos once I get them taken.
You can read more about this PTA here. They are a pretty remarkable bunch.
In the meantime, I am working on another batch of blends like I did on the 4th of July and will create a lot more flowers. I guess I only do these on holidays!
I used a gold and translucent cane to slice onto a set of black beads. I was looking for a faux wood look and I am not sure if I got it or not but this set with the blue Swarovski worked out just fine.
Added silver bali-style spacers and a toggle clasp and I was happy with it. I created two of these and only have one left.
Again, stay safe during your holiday weekend!
Julie and Blu
