Another blog hop thought up and brought to you by Ms Sally Russick of the Studio Sublime. I like having to get my mind around these challenges but... I never sell the jewellery that I make... It's hanging off the edges of my photo cube and I have run out of room...
No more challenges... when I submit my name just email me back and say I can't participate... I need some sort of no more jewellery challenge therapy group!
What did I do this time... Well I didn't follow Sally's cabbing instructions.. that would have been too easy... I got my first cab from Paula Kramer, she was gifting some polymer clay pieces that she bought... This cab came in two sizes I of course had to use the big one... Oh and did I forget to say that those are size 15 seed beads!
 |
| I make lots of little pyramid beaded beads and decided that I would just enlarge one side of the pyramid to make the back for the cab.... well even though it looks triangular it really wasn't.... I persisted started over a number of times... will I ever wear this NO! My second piece I actually like... it will be worn! |

| This bead got chosen because it had a tiny crack... BOO I call these beads fresh from the weir... they are suppose to represent sardines in a can, I flat lapped the back of the bead the claws are soldered into holes that I punched into the back plate. I actually added some chemical bonding (glue) to the top and bottom of the cab... mainly to hide what was still visible of the mandrel hole but also to secure it to the base |
