Cool Toys

This museum style photo of my sterling silver Suzie Q hoops was done online at DUMPR. The hoops are available for sale at RadianTrace.com.

I've been elbow deep in KatoClay for the past few days. Lovely material. There won't be any photos of my clay pieces for quite awhile. I like to perfect whatever I'm working on before I offer it for sale. Other than working with polyclay I've been getting ready for a home jewelry party, and organizing my pieces for the upcoming spring season. I have a few craft shows booked and I like to get new designs ready well ahead of time.

Music as Inspiration

I listen to music when I'm doodling graphics or making jewelry. One of the bands I've been enjoying recently is Kings of Leon. I thought I'd share them with you.

Oh and in case you don't already know I'm also a commercial mousedraw graphic artist. My graphics website is Mable's Makings. The little 'Real Women Donate' to the right is one of the graphic characters I doodle. At some point in the future I plan on making a series of 3D polymer clay figurines based on my Real Women characters.

Inner Reflections

And so it seems I've managed to clear my head of the mental fog I had been aimlessly wandering around in. All it took was millions of hours spent sitting on my butt watching youtubes of Charlie Rose interviews. Um yeah, I think the cobwebs are gone now. Both my mind and my butt have expanded.

I've added the men's jewelry items to RadianTrace.com. You can view them by clicking on the link to the Men's Jewelry section. The brass ring shown in the above photo is called 'Inner Reflections' and it will be available for sale at RT.com soon.

The River's Edge

I'm precariously close to the edge. I was going to write about the mind as a tool because lately I've been struggling with keeping mine focused. But, then I realized if I don't know how to sharpen my own mind, how can I write about the mind as a tool?

I swear I used to be more focused and organized mentally. I'll have to think about it for a little while longer before I tackle such a complex topic. The bracelet is called River's Edge. It can be found in Matching Sets at RadianTrace.com
