I haven't been well recently, but as often happens I didn't actually realise it at the time! I've been trying to find a balance between working, resting, gardening and creative stuff and not managing very well - there just doesn't seem to be enough time for everything, even though I'm actually not getting much done.
I have done some polymer clay pieces I'm quite pleased with, but they are in various stages of completion at the moment. I have so much sanding to do! I admit I get a bit impatient with beads especially, it takes ages to go through 4 different grits. I wish I could afford a kids rock tumbler, but I can't even find a cheap one in the UK - only expensive ones.
I'm trying really hard to actually get some pieces finished because I'm working towards selling at craft shows later in the year and I need to build up some stock. Maybe I should ban myself from starting anything new to encourage me to just work on the in-progress things!
Hopefully I'll have something to show soon.
In the meantime, here's a picture of one of my very first pieces. It's a faux fossilised seahorse made using the mokume gane technique in stone-effect Fimo.
I still really like it, although I'm considering resanding it a little and buffing with my new Dremel-style rotary tool since it's finished with Fimo gloss. Well it was a while ago, I didn't know any better!
