Playing with Purple

I know being St Patricks day the color O the day should be green
 but I've been mixing some of my alcohol inks for more than just straight primary colors
 I've used so far.
 Don't get me wrong I am happy with how the bright bold saturated colors but feel the need to experiment further.

Purple is one of my favorite colors so I mixed it with a little white to get lovely Lavender.

Flower Headpins in Lavender and Purple.

Ammonite Headpins in Purple

Bullets, one pair of Tribal Texture in Lavender

and a pair of Ammonite and Snakeskin in Natural or Faux Bone.

One thing I've been wondering lately, how do you display headpins at a show.

I have one coming up in just over a month and I have no idea how I'm going to do it.

I've thought about putting them by pair in individual bags and then upright in a box so they can be picked through but I think I want to find a way so they can be seen without having to work at it.

Anybody have an idea, have experience with this, I'd love to hear it!

I rarely use such snazzy background in my photo but this just seemed to fit so I went with it.

Some of my newest Polymer Clay Bullets with Tribal texture and gorgeous Pietersite Discs and a little striped Czech Glass bead to top them off.

Experiment in Black Results

The other day I showed you some experiments I was working on, covering Polymer Clay pieces with black letting them dry and then sanding, HERE is what they looked like before.

and here is the first pair after sanding.

Don't love them don't hate them, I actually like them better the more I play with them.

 So when I work on the others maybe I'll figure some things out along the way.

What do you think?

While I have you here I'll show you some other things I'm working on. 

These were mean to be smaller versions of the Cocoons I've been working on but as I was working on them I thought they looked like little bullets so I think that might be what they become.

Above you see them in Tribal, Snakeskin and Sea Urchin, I also have similar ones where I've done them in the headpin version.

What do you think?

I'm fairly sure I'm going to use these but I have another pair in the pipeline.
