I woke up the other day with that song going through my head. I figure it was my inner art calendar just taking a gander at the date and giving me a "heads up"... in the event I wanted to play and make something for Easter!
Earlier this year I had decided that I wanted to make some little bunny earrings and a necklace for my granddaughter for Easter. Being just seven, I think she'll get a big kick out of wearing them "out and about". So gramma got out her clay "stuff" and away she went.
It was pretty easy and quick to make these lop eared bunnies... a couple balls of white clay for the head and the ears, a smidgen of pink for the nose and ears, some fishing line for whiskers, little flowers for the head and two black seed beads for the eyes. "Cooked" them for 30 minutes and when they were cooled glazed them with Future to give them a nice shine.
So before I package them up to get sent off in the mail, I thought I'd share a photo of them with you...
The necklace was put together with some small white beads and larger pink pearls I have had in my stash forever. However, it was not before I managed to let the beading wire slip from my fingers as I was putting it together and spilled most of the beads onto the floor. Hubby heard me screech "Oh NO!" and, bless him, came to help rescue beads as they scattered across the room on the hardwood floor.
Do you have any projects planned for Easter? Would love to hear what they are...
Till next week, when I will show you some pretty cool polymer clay beads I made this week and what I did with them. I have another project with "bunnies" that I want to do... and if I get it done, I'll show it to you as well.
Happy arting,
Sharon
