Are there stars out tonight?
Well, they are in my studio. I’m in the process of sanding and refining a grouping of bronze metal clay star embellishments that will actually serve as the tops for some polymer clay flowers. I’m working on a new mixed media bracelet project that will combine chain maille, beadwork, and bronze and polymer clays and the title of the bracelet will be “Belles Fleurs”. I visualize that it will look like a piece from the Art Nouveau period. Of course, I’m writing the directions and taking process photos as I design so it will be available as a jewelry kit and pattern. I will offer the kit in several colourways now that I have all those wonderfully colored anodized jump rings on hand. I’m very excited about this project!
