Busy Month

Wow! Time is flying, and the summer is rushing away, but mostly I've been having a blast. Almost done with both my July page and the bracelet project, in and among other things I've been working/playing on. I hope to get the poly clay parts of my page done this weekend and get the bracelet finished and mounted before August arrives. Not much time left, but it's do-able.

July

July is here and I've got my page planned out. I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do so I researched July and was struck that the flower of the month is water lily, a flower I love, so I'm going in that direction. I'm going to try and make poly clay water lily leaves and a beaded flower, and I'm intending to work on my shading techniques. Funny, all the water lilies I've see are always in this dark, dark water, so I'm using a shimmery dark fabric on top of the stiff upholstery backing....should be an interesting project.
