cardboard mask base, acrylic paint, polymer clay, glitter glue and 20
gauge craft wire. You may view more photos and read about the process

Madam FooFoo is an elegant little

planning for tomorrow's outings. Her daughter's wedding is coming up

Proper clothing is very important to her.
5. Scrappy Necklace and Earrings Set by Lisa of HiGirls
A
very thrifty necklace made from repurposed scrap clay bicone beads
mixed with rolled scrap fabric beads and some fun spacer beads I found
at Goodwill! A super long necklace that can easily be doubled around
your neck.

Geometry in Motion by Brenda of BeeJWilson
The
glass bottom was once a wine bottle. I cut the center section of the
bottle into strips, fused in a grid pattern, then slumped it over a bowl
mold. I then covered the center of the bowl with polymer clay square
cane slices and trimmed the edges with bright orange to accent the
shape.

Rich Jewel Toned Millefiori Floral Repurposed CD Suncatcher by Angela of
polymerclaycreations
This
is an old computer disc that I have repurposed into a new life as a
suncatcher. One of my favorite color combos. I saw these beautiful
iridescent green and purple beads at the the craft store and knew I had
to make a suncatcher to match. I covered one side with polymer clay.
After curing and sanding I drilled some holes and added the crystals and
beads for extra sparkle. CD's make great suncatchers with their
reflective film. They give off wonderful rainbows when light shines on
them. These can be used indoors or out.
