Just A Simple Keychain For My Daughter...

Bolts & Brackets Bracelets

I love having a husband who is in construction... He always has various materials laying around the garage. Not to mention that he has far more then he will ever use... or never miss anyway ! And his hobby of working on his cars leaves an endless supply of nuts and bolts. So off to the garage I went in search of supplies. And I found lots of goodies to work with. "Thanks Honey" I will never complain about your messy garage again ! And a few purchases from the local craft stores...

A Few Found Objects, Pliers And Some Imagination

After cleaning out a few drawers around the house I found a few things to take apart and put together as something new ! I do so love the whole steampunk style, so I decided to try creating a few things with stuff I found at home. Not to mention I really needed a new keychain... Here is what I can up with.

Since my husband is a general contractor he always has nuts and bolts laying around... and all sorts of other little goodies... Next I sorted through all my old scrapbook supplies and found all sorts of metal embellishments to add to my lastest creations... It was fun and easy... and doesn't take skill other then imagination, which we all have...

I Found Something To Lighten The Mood

Now this type of humor isn't for everyone... But I sure thought it was funny !!

One Heart & A Bot Added Just Because

Some how these two got left behind and not posted... So better late then never...

I Found A Real Talented Artist In Polymer Clay

I found the blog " Les Ethiopiques - Voyages In Polymer Clay" http://lesethiopiques.over-blog.com/ ... Her creations are stunning and very unique. She has taken polymer clay and made it look like real leather ! I am a child of the 80's and thus still have a love for leather...much to the dismay of my children. So upon finding this blog I was thrilled ! On top of her beautiful work, she also features tutorials in images that make it look soooo easy, unless your me I suppose. But today I am going to give it a try. Check our her blog, you won't be disappointed. Don't forget to try her links to other French artists who work in polymer clay as well... Man, the French really have the polymer clay thing down... Enjoy !
