Border Cane Jewelry

Now that the weather has cooled a bit and I can work in the yard I am feeling much better. Nothing like pulling weeds and trimming trees to get the blood flowing again. I even bought mum plants to replace some of the summer flowers in my pots that are looking straggly.

I go back to my surgeon for a final check up today.... at least I hope it's final.  Everything looks and feels fine to me.

On the clay front I made a few pieces of jewelry with some of the Border Canes.

This is a matched set... necklace, bracelet and earrings.  Click on the photos for a closer look.

Another view of the bracelet.

Close up of the necklace, I'm not crazy about that chain, I may have to change it.

When I trimmed the ends off the last Border Canes I used the scraps to make a couple pendants.

This pendant with matching bead is from the yellow & blue Border Cane.  I finished the necklace with waxed cord in a complimentary blue.

I used scraps from the red and dark silver Border cane for the next pendant.

I love this chain, I got it on sale at Michaels a while back,  now I wish I had bought more!

I also made a stamped tile highlighted with PearlEx and sealed with liquid Kato.  Not sure if this will be a brooch or pendant.... or maybe both.

So you can see I have been having fun with clay again.

Right now I am playing with Mica Shift.  The theme for Clay Pen Chat this week is Mica Shift , I hope to have several new pieces to share.... Chat is on thursday, hope you'll stop by and say hello.

That's it for today.

Thanks for stopping by.
