Creative block

Hey, everyone!  As you can see by my post title, I've had a good reason for being quiet around here... I have had a serious creative block.  I think I was a little burned out... I think I mentioned that my son had to have surgery at the end of November, and between that, finishing my class (with an A, thankyouverymuch!), the boy's 6th birthday, Christmas prep, and all of those ornament orders, I was just toast.  But I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things, and I'm hoping to try out some new stuff this spring.  In the meantime, I'll share a couple of bracelets that I hope to have listed soon.  Well... the agate and amethyst bracelet will have to be re-strung - the clasp won't stay shut, and I'm waiting on some new ones that I ordered.  I was pretty bummed, since the clasp was super cute, but these things happen sometimes!

I really love this second one, lol!  I almost kept it for myself.

Glitter and Feathers

Evidently, my son has inherited my love of glitter.  I don't know where he's gotten the feather love from, though!  This was a homework assignment - this was his turkey feather!  The class put all of them together on a turkey.  I haven't yet seen it, but I hope I will soon!!

I finished up all of my custom orders for the year, and this was my favorite by far:

This was for a friend, and she wanted it to represent the fact that they are expecting a new baby - we decided to add an EGG!!!!  Isn't that darling?

I have to say, using the molds for the penguin bodies this year helped SO much with my turnaround time!  Being in school, and then my son's surgery 1 week and a half ago really made it hard to manage my time, but I think I've got the hang of it now.  :-)
