Beach greetings to you! As you may know I have had sand and sun on the brain for a few weeks now which is perfect because today it's time for our Celebrating Summer Blog Hop. If you arrived via Barbara's blog then you are on the correct sandy path, if you have not been hopping along with us before than you can start back at the Sparkle and Sprinkle blog to learn about the five fun prizes being given away.
For my project I wanted to create some embossed polymer clay jewelry. Rather than stamping into raw clay this time I rolled, cut, and baked a piece of polymer then once it cooled it was stamped and embossed with detail black powder. The saying " The voice of the sea, speaks to the soul" is part of a stamp set called Ocean Treasures. After the embossing is finished, the polymer clay can be drilled at the top to make a hole for the bail and again at the bottom to hang a little shell.
directions are here
Be sure to leave a comment...it's kind of like digging in the sand, every once in a while you will unearth a treasure...or in this case maybe dig up a prize. Next you will want to hop over to Karalee's fantastic blog, to see how she is Celebrating Summer.SNS Home Blog addy: http://sparklenspri

What an unusual way to use a stamp (at least for me). I really must try this -- beautiful results.
Love this creative way to use these stamps!! this is so sweet!
What a fabulous decorative item or a great way to show off some vacation memories! Super creative!
Quite a different way to use the stamp. Very creative.
I love how you made the clay look just like beach glass. Seashells are some of my favorite things. I hope this comment doesn't disappear like the one I put on last evening.
Love the combination stamps with clay.
I really enjoyed you different take on the theme of the blog. I love jewelry, and your piece was right up my alley. I also liked the piece with a shell as an embellishment. Thanks for the inspiration
What a great idea! It's a really cool piece of jewelry. I love the way you staged it for the photo--a nice beachy setting.
Love those pendants! Your work is always so stunning!
This is a really cool technique. I'd never thought about embossing baked poly clay before. Thanks for reminding me to think outside the box even more. I appreciate it.
Oh, and your pieces turned out fabulously!!
This is so cute and I love the colors you used...so summery and beachy!!
