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
