Batik Bracelet

Inspired by Fabric Bracelet
Originally uploaded by thecolorofdreams

Blue and Green - two fabulous colors that go with so many wardrobe choices. This lovely bracelet was made by Patricia of The Color of Dreams Boutique for the April Fabric Challenge to look like IKAT cloth, which is similar to batik. The beads are pillow shaped and the wonderful clasp is handmade. Patricia has belonged to the PCAGOE since August 2008. Her shop shows off the most wonderful thing about polymer clay besides it's diversity of use - it's COLOR - with wonderful beads, earrings, bracelets and other items that just glow with the wonderful colors of polymer clay. To see more, visit Patricia's ETSY shop or follow her blog at http://thecolorofdreams.blogspot.com.

There is still 3 more days to vote in the PCAGOE April Challenge. The designs this month showcase the wonderful versatility of polymer clay not only in mimicking other materials, but in the way it is used - from jewelry to sculpture to housewares. If you haven't voted yet, please vote HERE. Remember 5 lucky voters will receive a free prize donated by the wonderful artists of PCAGOE. Thank you!

I have a lot more done, but no photographs of the new items yet. Still working on final sanding and buffing, but tomorrow I should have a ton to show! It's been a very busy few weeks and I'm getting used to being busy, though I took a break yesterday to mow the lawn and do some weed pulling (always more of that, too). With all the rain this winter the weeds are huge and I have bushes that have grown more over the winter than in the last 3 years. lol Some morning I'll have to grab my ipod and tear into trimming. I need the sun, so it's all good!
Here is a quick photo of some new Union Jack canes in black, red and white for Churchill High School here in San Antonio.

Happy Easter, everyone!
