This is really two projects that I turned into one. I first made the chain and at one time it was a bracelet all on it's own. And then I made the ID part of the bracelet out of the clay, took apart the bracelet and attached it to the ID and hence two projects turned into one. I LOVE this bracelet, I wear it all the time.

Mother O' Mine
This was meant to be a mother's day gift, but I kinda messed it up; but she got something a whole lot better anyway! Good concept, execution needs work.
I wanted to insert the dried flower from my garden into the glass on one side and use the wavy foil around the edges on the other. The piece turned out great when I was done, all I had to do was clean off the flux residue. I used the flux remover & I ran it under the water to rinse the cleaner off ........the water went under a piece of foil and onto the photo under the glass and made the ink run. @#%!&#@! I'm glad no one was around, I was not a happy camper!
Anyway, I will remake this project, but have to remember to burnish my foil real good or wipe instead of rinse to remove the flux cleaner next time!

I Saw Stars
This piece is made using nothing but syringe clay around a piece of Dichroic glass. Again I added Swarovski crystals! I really like this piece.

Lucky You!
This charm holder pendant was a very fun project! The wire opens and closes so you can add, change, remove charms and have a different look every time you wear it.
Here I added some Swarovski crystal charms to the holder to give it a little "Bling" factor!

Daisy Ring
My third project & my first ring. The clay shrinks a bit when you fire it, so making a ring a certain size can be challenging, this ring turned out about a half a size smaller than I intended.
It's a little hard to tell in the photo but the band is brushed and the flower is a high polish.

Rock 'n Roll
My second class was this bracelet. My idea was to make mini guitar picks and write the word ROCK on one side and ROLL on the other. Then I linked the picks together with Swarovski crystals and added a cool toggle.
I forgot to turn off the flash the first time I took the picture, but I thought it turned out kind of cool & you can see the lettering a little better than in the other photos.
