May is the first month of the summer here in Ireland. While it's definitely not one of the sunniest countries in the world living in Ireland's sunny south-east would give us a little bit more chances. I could say that summer and recent sunshine must had some impact on the colour choice for my latest monthly challenge project. I worked with yellow, white and gold effect Fimo.
Blending colours, making Bullseye canes, cutting them into 48 triangle shapes and building my Mosaic cane took a good few hours of work. It's not a proper Mosaic cane, but it has mosaic effect and I still have to cut more slices to see design fully.
It is still very much a work in progress but I managed to play with the new cane a little bit. I am in love with my wavy shape beads at the moment and that's why there is more wavy pieces made, including this bracelet and ring.
every time I read about your work I want to try it for myself. It looks like such a fun material to work with, with so much scope and possibilities. Love the wavy beads!
ReplyDeleteHi Anne-Marie, thanks for your lovely comment. That would be great fun and I would like to hear how did you get on, or maybe sometime in the future we can have some polymer clay afternoon together. :)
Deletemaybe a skills swap sometime? Though I don't know what new skill I could offer you! I did a couple of skills swaps with other Etsy people in the past. Great fun..though I didnt want to invest in more materials and equipment as I just have no space for them, but it's fun to have a go at something new.
DeleteSounds great, summers are busy, but maybe during autumn or winter we could meet up and try something new!
DeleteVery cool!
