Stone Center and a Few Updates

The last couple of days I've been crocheting a turtle. I'm 2/3 through and I'm hoping to finish her today!

I also completed a necklace last week that I will post later.

Today I'm going to a Stone Center to look for rocks and stones to use in my necklaces. I hope I will find some good pieces! I will update when I've been there, what I've bought, what I'm planning and when I've made the necklaces.

Have a good day!

Why Not Roll a Ball in Them?

The other day I was making a pair of earrings. I was going to paint a pair of polystyrene balls and hang beads from them. The hanging of beads failed. I glued beads on them instead. This is not one of the earrings, I will post them later, this is a polystyrene ball covered in all the left-over beads. Yes, off course I could have used them for something useful... but when you've got a handful of already glue-covered beads, why not roll a ball in them? 

Ball bead-covering is great to clear your mind! (It's also great to fiddle with) 

Try it today!

Colourful, Creative Rings

I've been on a ring craze lately. I love wearing them, and better yet; making them! Here are some rings I've recently made.

This first ring is a doughnut I've made out of polymer clay. 

This second ring is a ring I was inspired to make by a friend. She challenged me to make a ring that looked like a cassette. I accepted, and personally I think it turned out pretty good. I made it using Perler Beads. This example is yellow with purple centre points. I have also made them in various colours.

This last ring is a blue flower. I got the flower with some beads for my birthday and I just had to make a ring out of it!

Rings can brighten up your wardrobe, mood and days. I have not made rings before, but this craze has inspired me to create lots of beautiful rings. Follow the blog as there is much more to come!

Business Cards!

In addition to launching The Gentle Flower blog, I've ordered 250 business cards! I think they will turn out great!! Only 14 days and they'll be here!
