This picture doesn't do these pendants any justice. I must finish one of these as a necklace that matches the silks that teacher, Julie Picarello gave us. I call this, A River Runs Through It... very original.

Nan Roche brought fabulous Japanese molds and we made some pretty spectacular creations from the molds. I think this looks like wood.

This lotus pod mold is rather large but it really looks like bronze, doesn't it?

That's gold leaf on black clay. I like how it looks and feels.

These were really fun beads to make in Sarah Shriver's class. I really have to do the technique again at home to get them the way I want them, but overall, I was very pleased with the technique and want to do it again.

My most favorite beads were the Big Amber Beads taught by Tori Hughes. I think these look very real and straight out of Africa.

I suppose if I took more than 5 seconds to set up shots and set up the camera correctly, I could get better photos of the class results, but those of you who know me, know that this is the best you're going to get.
