Jewelry Components for Cruella DeVille Series



Well, here they are, the new art clay jewelry components that will be incorporated into my Cruella DeVille Jewelry Series. I have just coated them with resin and will have to wait a few days to be sure that they have cured and are hard enough to handle. I have some really cool ideas about how I will put these pieces together which will create some funky new artsy styles.




I can't wait to get started!

Working in my Studio Today

I had finished a new face cane in polymer clay and decided to create a fun new sheet of artwork with it. So, I've been busy in my art studio today making new clay components for my future jewelry projects. It takes a while to decide how to cut each piece and then process the components to get them ready for a resin coating. They are now ready for the resin, which is what I will do in the morning tomorrow. I have decided that the jewelry created with these pieces will be my Cruella DeVille Series. I chose this name because the face cane that has been incorporated into the artwork reminds me of the mean Cruella DeVille of the 1001 Dalmations Disney movie.

I have yet to take pictures of the new components and will do so after they have been coated with resin. I will post them tomorrow for all to see then. So, come back tomorrow to see what I have done. I have some really cool plans for these and can't wait to get started with them.

In the meantime, I will be working on a few new pieces of jewelry using some clay beads that I had previously made to have them ready for our upcoming show. Body Ice will be at the Big Moose Lodge in Hyde Park, NY this Saturday for a trunk show. All of our pieces will be on display there.

Come back tomorrow to see my new clay components for the Cruella DeVille Series.

Vacation



Hi everyone,




I have taken a break from my art work and took my Pontiac GTO to the Adirondack Nationals at Lake George, New York. What a wonderful time we had! Many of our friends were there with us and that makes it even more fun. My other love is to go GTO'n with my friends. Unfortuneately, my husband broke his wrist just before we were leaving which placed a black cloud over the trip. Turns out he needs to have surgery to fix it. So, that is what we have to take care of this week.



Here is a picture of the car event at Lake George.
