Rustic Polymer Rings

 

I used the scrap clay from the faux bone necklace and brooch to make a couple of rings.   I have been wearing the one on the right and am surprised at how comfortable it is.  It is turning out to be one of my favorite pieces.

A peyote tube on a cable or slide a magnet inside for a brooch.  I made Peyote Slider #1 (click HERE) and Peyote Slider #2 (above) a while ago and could not decide what to do with them until now.  Very versatile.

Bead Crochet Book

I'm learning a little more each time I make one of these Shutterfly books.  It is a creative endeavor that is a whole lot of fun.  I'm working on Volume I of my old bead crochet pieces and am trying a different layout with several pieces on one page as opposed to the larger pics as shown above.  I received two more coupons for free Shutterfly books from BestBuy after we purchased some camera and TV products.  It's proving to be a good project to do while the foot is up.
