One Year Blogaversary and a Giveaway!

It is hard to believe I have been blogging one year.

When I started, I wanted to share tutorials and art and some great places I know.

I think I am still there but different too.

I have done over 170 posts this first year.

Wow.

That's a lot.

And I hope to do even more in year two.

I will share everything I learned another time.

But for today I wanted to give back to those of you that stop by and read this little blog.

Please leave me a comment below telling me your favorite post or posts and I will enter your name in a drawing to win this necklace.

I will draw a winner in one week so keep reading to see if it is you.

Thanks for reading my little blog.

Thanks for stopping by today and every day.....

Steampunk Polymer Beads

One of my great loves this past year has been playing with Sculpey polymer clay.

I love rolling it in my hands, pressing things in to texture it and then coloring and creating finishes that give it a new look.

I have always loved beautiful beads but when I actually get some, I save them.

I am not sure what I am saving them for...

So in April, when I started ,making my own beads, it opened a whole new world to me.

It was a world where I could create anything I could imagine.

This has led to many fun experiments.

Today I am sharing my steampunk beads.

I used these to make some fun stretchy bracelets.

They are easy to get on and off.

You can see I did a variety of finishes as well.

I love these.

I hope they appeal to you perhaps, too.

Thanks for stopping by....
