Playing with new shapes

I created some new shapes on Scratch Foam, new shapes and new textures to go with them.

These remind me of those Alaskan Ulu knifes, I'll have to think of something else to call them because I'm pretty sure I can't call them Ulu unfortunately.

Here are some Arrowheads.

And I made this Tribal Mask, inspired by some other masks I saw on Pinterest.

I think he's adorable!

Lots more you'll see in my shop in the near future.

Arrowhead Necklace

My first attempt at making jewelry since having foot surgery. It took me most of the day working in short 10-15 minute bits, then elevating my foot so it won't swell.

It's actually a re-structuring of a necklace I made last year, but I turned up the volume quite a bit I think by adding beautiful Carved Carnelian Barrel beads I purchased at the NW Bead Bazaar last weekend and little brass spacers between each Ryolite Heishi giving it much more fluidity of movement.

I can't tackle the stairs so was unable to use my favorite area to take photos which is my greenhouse, so I had to set something up by a window and hope for the best.



I love this shot because the light hit the Carnelian just right and looks like they have light coming from within.




I also added 2 Unikite rounds to hold the pendant centered along the Heishi. I think the colors of these 3 stones play very nicely together.

Here are the Carnelian Earrings I made to coordinate.


Feels good to play with beads again!!
