Ceramic jewelry gifts

This past 2016 Christmas, I made my sisters some jewelry for their  Christmas gifts. 

I have made them both jewelry in the past, but this is the first time i also made the "bead" or details myself. I made them in my pottery class, and basically the focus was making them so thin they wouldn't be too heavy to wear! 

Also had to be sure the holes were in the right spot to attach a jump ring, and

 that the glaze did not fill the hole, making it hard (or impossible!!) to adjust a chain to.

They have now been gifted and I hope appreciated to my sisters. The set of earring and 

necklace to my older sister, and the larger chunkier necklace to my little sister. 

(I  made myself one too, I forgot to photograph!)

I pretty much made ceramic gifts for everyone this year, nieces, nephew, in laws and realize I am

now "that aunt" who gives (and honestly has given for the last 10 years) handmade gifts to 

everyone to suffer and enjoy! Ugh, help!

New new new!

I have not posted on here for quite a while, I have been very busy over on my other blog, 

small world land , which I have been working on with my friend Sarah.

But I have been busy working on lot's of thing to share. 

As I was going through the disaster of my craft room, and trying to reinstate order, 

I came across a ridiculous amount of unfinished projects.  Some of these projects were 

so close to completion, I couldn't believe they had been sitting so long unfinished.

So maybe it's the newness of the new year, but I decided to make this year, the year of finishing

things.  I have been successful so far, and have fun stuff to share.
It is also making me feel so accomplished to get these things finished and off the craft table!

First off, I have to share, some new plush I had dreamt up, but had yet to sew.

Here they are, the Flower Power Gnomes and Friends.

So more to come.
