Doesn’t the pin look wonderful?
‘Simply’ decorate several sheets of translucent polymer clay with a pattern, layer them and you get a piece of jewelry with real depth!
One day…

I-Cord Flower
I published or wrote some entries about ‘I-cords’ already but I found this little I-cord flower so cute and such a fast gift (as pin or for the hair or to attach to a bag) that I wanted to present it as well.
Have fun spool knitting ;-))

Foam Tray Plaster Casting
The tutorial about plaster casting in a simple foam tray is meant again as kids craft.
But I have some buttons and stamps with interesting surfaces – I should be able to use them to make some cute plaster pendants from, shouldn’t I?
I’m looking for this foam trays for a certain time, but I can’t get them here.
Seems as if I have to resort to play dough or even to carving them myself ;-)

Paper Roll Jewelry
Such a great idea again: simply begin just as for the coiled paper basket but stop quite soon and make from the rolls little pieces of jewelry.
I really have to try it with the folded paper strips of equal width!

Nature Bracelets
What a cute idea: Before going for a walk you take a piece of tape around your wrist (sticky side at the outside! ;-)) and while walking you stick on a lot of beautiful leaves and flowers.
When you’re coming home you have a wonderful nature bracelet.
She seems to have done this in springtime but the fall leaves also look great.
And by the way you can cut open the tape at home and use it for a card ;-))

Pop Tabs
I presented a pop tab bracelet already, now I’ve found more things made from pop tabs: a top for the evening, another pop tab bracelet and a purse made from interwoven pop tabs and a tote made from crochet joined pop tabs.
I’m speechless ;-)

Herringbone/Ndebele Necklace
Some time ago I made a Herringbone or Ndebele necklace.
I find it beautiful, it is wonderfully sleeky and simply elegant.
And I found the bead weaving itself downright relaxing.
To make sure that the necklace doesn’t look boring I simply made a little Peyote bead like for my paper beads bracelet, pulled it over the necklace and worked little bead fringes on the bead like for the pages 9 & 10 of my artist book – looots ;-)
Well, I like it ;-)

Necklace Bust
If you have necklaces you can always do with something to hang them up, as e.g. the mini dress-form jewelry stand.
That’s something you can use the wonderful bust for.
But it is also something very special if you want to sell jewelry.
Incidentally I think that you can craft it a little smaller if you need a gift wrap or sales wrapping for your necklace.
If the bust is made as greeting card the necklace can directly be send with it!?
If you make such a bust I’d really appreciate a comment with a link (as I’m glad about every comment ;-))

Gummy Bear Bracelet
I wanted to present the gummy bear bracelet for a long time already and now I managed to do it ;-)
However I didn’t make it yet because I still want to lose weight and I’m afraid that they could ‘disappear’ before I can varnish them ;-))
But it works similarly to the gummi candy lamp that I haven’t made yet for the same reason ;-))

Corrugated Leaves
Well, fall is coming.
The leaves look still beautiful outside, but soon they will be gone and then you can fall back on your own – if you like even evergreen – leaves.
There’s something to be said for that ;-))
By the way I imagine them also nice as pin.
Made e.g. with some stash yarn matching your purse.
