Playing in the rain

What do you do when it starts raining… and keeps on raining… and raining… and raining? And all your plans to enjoy the beautiful green of nature are rained on too?

If you're me and have some polymer clay, you make beads! That's just what I did. And of course, they were rain inspired!

I do actually love the rain—the sound, the smell, beauty of it, and of course the rainbow that comes after. And I actually do like to go hiking in light rain, just not pouring rain!






I hope you enjoyed my new rainy beads. They're in my shop now.

And don't forget to enter my bead challenge giveaway here.

A Giveaway Challenge!

It's been such a long time since I've had a giveaway. I've really missed doing them… they are so much fun, so I think it's high time I do another!

This one has a little twist though… and some extra rules, to make it extra fun!

By entering you could win one of these sets (a large round and a small round) of my new tattered butterfly wing beads, but you have to promise to make something with them and then share what you've made in a blog hop.

Do you want to play? Good!

Here are the rules:

1. Leave a comment at the end of this blog post. (You'll get an extra point if you share this giveaway/challenge and come back here leaving another comment to let me know you shared. :-) There will be 3 winners—the fourth set is mine, so I can play along too! This giveaway is of course also open to international bead lovers. The giveaway closes on June 21st and I'll announce the winners on June 22nd (this Saturday).

2. If you win you must make something with your bead set.

3. Post your creation on your blog on July 20th.


Sounds easy enough, right?


So comment and share away! Happy winning!



* This giveaway is now closed. Thanks so much for entering! *
Winners will be announced on the 22nd.


They're finished!

I've used up all my painted clay sheets now and have these new beads to show you…




The colors and patterns remind me of tattered butterfly wings.

They'll move into my shop later this week.

Happy Monday!
