Practice sculpting... I never really finish a head. I can't make them do what I want them to.
I did this celtic bird to practice a bas relief technique I found on the web.
I sculpted the little face you see & molded him. The santa is one of the pieces I make from the mold... I also make a wizard.

Mirror - I made this to take to the Muse with me. I used Chryse Laukkonens' abalone technique on this one.

Beaded Cabochons - Polymer Clay
These are cabs I did for a swap.
Beaded Cabochon - Fused Glass
I'm REALLY disappointed in how this scan turned out. This cab is really so pretty. Very crystalline.. and the dichroic glass appears all blotchy yellow when, in reality, it's a very delicate reflected violet. Oh well... I guess I need to go to scanning school. I plan to put dangles on it at some point.
Bead Cabochon - Polymer Clay
I can't decide whether to add dangles to this one... what do you think?

Bottles'n'Eggs.. I just can't seem to stop covering them!
