Po dolgem času...

... sem se spet lotila mečkanja polija. Prej je bilo ali prevroče ali pa ni bilo taprave volje - začetek leta, predvsem študij, mi je pobral kar nekaj energije. Saj sem med poletjem sestavila en kup nakita, polija pa poleti, razen ene parkrat, nisem kaj dosti mečkala. Bil je že čas in premamila me je čudovita možnost kombiniranja barv po navodilih Bettine Welker, in sicer njen Pixelated retro blend cane. Ko sem v živo videla še Renatin obesek, mi je bilo jasno, da moram tudi jaz poskusit. Najprej mi sicer res ni bilo čisto jasno, kako je to izvedla, ampak so navodila dovolj jasna, da gre. Še dobro, da imam namešanih kar nekaj barv v različnih odtenkih, drugače se morda tega niti ne bi lotila. Seveda se mi je zdelo, da je 2mm luknjica čisto premajhna, saj sem vendar tudi jaz že kdaj prerezala kakšen šop takih drobnih kačic, pa ni bilo nobenega pametnega rezultata! Pametna postavitev belih in črnih pa naredi ravno pravi učinek, da se drobni vzorci pridejo dovolj do izraza. Te zasvoji, imam v planu še nekaj barvnih kombinacij. Kaj bo iz njih nastalo, pa še ne vem točno, ampak gotovo kaj lepega :). Thanks a million, Bettina!

Upam, da ste lepo preživeli poletje, kjerkoli in kakorkoli že, in nabrali dovolj energije za nove zmage ustvarjalne dosežke!

Inka gold on polymer clay (2)

Še vedno se igram z inka goldi in preizkušam, kaj se da narediti. Občasno seveda naredim tudi kakšno millefiori kačo, brez tega nekako ne gre. V zadnjem času je nastalo kar nekaj rožic in srčkov in obeskov in vsega ostalega. Za danes malo rožic, ker je bila to ravno tema swapa na Izdelovalnici... žirija v sestavi Nina in Borut je izbrala zeleno oranžno ogrlico, čeprav je bilo meni bolj všeč nekaj drugega. Ampak če vprašaš druge za mnenje, ker si v dilemi, je včasih prav, da se odločiš na podlagi slišanega.

Ogrlica za swap sicer ni narejena z inka goldi; kot sem rekla, je pri žiriji za glavni izbor zmagala millefiori tehnika. Drobnejše rožice na prvi sliki so pa vse pobarvane z inka goldi, in so v resnici precej bolj luštne in svetleče, kot je videti. Slikala sem na (pre)močnem soncu in iz roke, ker se mi enostavno ni dalo postavljat luči in vsega ostalega, pa še zdelo se mi je, da je tako lepo pomladno jutranje sonce vendarle treba dodobra izkoristit :).

Brown flower cane










Finally I've made something I actually like. I was so not in the mood for working lately that it took about 2 weeks to put it together, reduced it and made about 40 beads. I am just sorry I used all of the first square cane for petals. Not that I have any clear ideas yet what else to do with it, but I like it and it could be used in varous ways. Maybe I will have another one in next month or so if my working speed remains the same ;).

More Pink

I made that yesterday. I am still not satisfied, it is a bit too hot and clay gets really sticky. Of course I don't have time to put it in fridge when I want to do something :). (Oh, ok... honestly, that is just an excuse - in real I just don't have any good ideas what to do.)

I have so many beads already but I am just not in the mood for putting them together, and I don't like most of them... Guess I am just a little depressed lately. I wonder - how much ice cream will I have to eat to feel better???

Today's Work

I just had to play with clay today a little. Sitting at work is killing me, but I feel a bit better and it was not that bad. I just had to get up more often, that's it.

I don't like these canes too much, now I am sorry I didn't use some brighter color instead of that dark blue - but it looked quite well before I reduced the cane. Oh well, I will do better next time. Tomorrow, if Nina stays at the seaside with my parents. They left a week ago and unfortunately weather is not really good, so they will perhaps come home sooner than they planned.

And btw, today I discovered that we can resize pics here, during creating posts or editing them. I haven't noticed that before, and since I usually don't read instructions and tips and manuals and such things, there are some useful features I have no idea about, I guess. Maybe it is time I read about posting here :).

New Cane






Another quite hot day, although temperatures were supposed to drop a bit. I haven't noticed that; only one afternoon was better as far as temperatures are concerned, but we had hailstorm with strong wind which broke up few trees in front of our building and made a lot more damage all over - in some places hailstones were as big as tennis balls! I was at work at that time and luckily I've missed hailstorm for few minutes... it would be bad to be in the car with huge ice balls falling from the sky! I experienced that once, few years ago when Nina and I were going from our vacation at the seaside. It caught as on the highway, and although hailstones were smaller, as big as marbles, sound was horrible! Nina was crying and I hardly calmed her down. The traffic stopped and what surprised me most was that I saw few people going out of their cars, holding blankets and sleeping bags over cars! How stupid is that??? Ice falling on their heads and they were protecting their cars. I rather pay full insurance and keep myself in safe place when something like that happens!

Anyway, new cane. As I said, it was rather hot, clay really gets sticky and it's really hard to keep a nice form. Some of the pieces were little distorted, but I think the final cane looks prety well. I was not in the mood to make a new cane for central part, so I used the cane I made the other day. I think I have enough of flower canes for now, it's time to figure out something else. And make beads from all the canes I have at the moment, I plan to put them together to make final pieces when I am on vacation. 3 more weeks to go... I can't wait!

My latest creations (7)

I haven't done much lately. Really, what have I been doing, I have nothing special to show? Where has my time disappeared?? Well, I made few things anyway and here are the pics of some of them.


Here are two beaded rings, on the left is mine, the right one is Nina's. And a fancy necklace in the middle - I'm pleased with it, it is just perfect for warm days and open t-shirt.


Making a caleidoscop cane. I'm still working on that, somehow I'm never really pleased with the result. I have made a a necklace for trinkets swap from these pieces, and I prepared pieces for a bracelet too. I had enough scrap clay from that cane for this plate, and for a spoon for Nina. She wanted a big handle, but I think I exaggerated a bit - she hardly holds it :)).


I finally started to work more in my colors, olive green and brown; I guess it's about time I make a few pieces for myself. I just love both above shown canes, and also the beads made of them. Though the colors are a little dark, specially on the one with the tiny pattern, it still looks good - much better than on the pics! :)


Another olive green and brown cane. In fact that was the first one. I don't like it that much, though I have a pieces for a bracelet ready; and I intend to keep it for myself!
