Ay Di Me!!!

It may be possible that I could, by the wildest stretch of the imagination, be a little tiny bit obsessed with jewelry. DUH!

I've been playing around with a new form of Cold Processed Porcelain. It's lighter and stronger than the PMJ I was using and I get a lot better finish with a lot less work. and it's a LOT easier to make!

The stuff I've been making has evolved to very 3-D forms, some of them hollow, like the piece at the left. I can put different bath salts or even the tip of a Q-tip dipped in my favorite perfumes or essential oils in them so, once again, I can smell pretty without wearing perfume.

I'm really loving the way this stuff works up - the only drawback is the amount of time it takes to dry, which is significantly longer than the PMJ. On the plus side, I can directly tint the clay itself so I don't use nearly as much paint on the surface and I can make some really nice effects like tie-died, water colored, and marbled surfaces. Check them out!

To paraphrase a quote from one of my favorite Gerry Butler movies, "Madness? THIS IS CREATIVITY!" LOL!

    I've been married for more than half my life to the same man, rarely if ever read instructions, am owned by 2 cats, and most of the time walk around in a haze of creation. Most everything else is subject to change at a moments notice.
