Sorry I haven't been around posting. I would love to be able to post from my phone but I haven't figured that magical bit of mobile technology out yet.
I have been working too much. I don't like it, especially since its not fun work. Its not art work.
I have been sneaking in some art here and there, and I have been enjoying the little bit of cupcake decorating I've been able to do at the newish job at the big blue box store.
I made some cute panda cupcakes for the kiddo's birthday
and
Ive also been making some more tentacly steampunk items. I sent a few items off to be oogled at TeslaCon. Unfortunately they are coming home. I was hoping they would find new homes there.
Im crafting like crazy for holiday gifts. And since they are gifts I don't want to ruin any surprises. But I plan on using every single craft project as fodder for a blog post!

Making cup cakes at the new job
It seems as if Ive been ignoring my blog. Nope just no time. And I really cannot figure out how to post from my phone!.
Ive taken on an additional part time job. As much as I dearly want to make my living as a jewelry artist, right now reality is, it isnt even cutting it as a supplemental income generator.
So I have zero, zilch extra time to do the things that make me happy, and functional. Fortunately my husband does the laundry. Because I seriously have no time right now.
Anyway the extra job is in the bakery at my local Wallyworld. I get to sling bread dough and decorate cup cakes.
Im having fun with the cupcakes, but man, my hand hurts from using icing bags!
I will try to get back on here and post more frequently, even if only to show off what cupcakes I managed to make this week. I do miss making jewelry, but at least my artistic self is being satisfied playing with the colorful icings!

Whats on the bench this week?
Right now a lot of space. I've been really having fun making some cute little dragonses, and a lovely steampunk Victorian kraken necklace, but man the work space gets to be a mess fast.
Im trying to improve my work practices so that meant today was clean it up so I have some work area to make more dragonses and more tentacular steampunk goodies.
I also have a load in the kiln right now--I hope it all worked, and I have new copper goodies to show off tomorrow.

whats on the bench
entirely too many in progress pieces!!
Lets see we are looking at polymer clay for the dragons, and the manta-ray piece that has a few touch up spots then needs to go back in. A copper hair stick, where the stick broke and is being repaired--again, and a few pieces at the bottom that need to be polished, and patina-ed.
Im going to try the LOS on copper with this bunch, and see how that is versus flaming the piece to bring up color.
Oh and the new love of my life, thank you Wanaree for introducing us, Paste Maker. I love that stuff!

Color stage for shooting tutorials
I made a stage for shooting tutorials. Its a neutral grey base. I used half a card board box, a plastic tray lots of modge podge and tape.
Tutorial shooting in my future!
And it hides the rest of my desk very well!
