Check out my swaps!

My third clutch of dragon babies are ready to leave the nest, I'm so proud of them! These are my offerings in my third Christi Friesen-themed dragon bead swap, all of which I have signed up for at the swaps page on Polymer Clay Central. Swapping is so fun. This time around, one of the major issues was to try to keep our dragons to the size of a quarter. In the first two rounds, the dragons were rather large and dare I say- unwearable. I plan to put all 25 (whew!) of mine into a shadow box once I get my swapped dragons. It is so fun to get a box in the mail with other artist's interpretations of the theme, I can't wait!!! And, I was really smart- the swap is for two groups of 5, and this time I made myself one of each to keep!!!! They are embellished with Swarovski Crystal chatons and either goldfilled or sterling silver eyes. So fun!

Some Incense Burners I Made Today by Ilysa

Hi,
Hope everyone is finishing up their entry for the challenge. We have quite a few new members, welcome.
Here are some incense burners my husband Ed and I made today. Had a lot of fun making them.

New to PCAGOE

Hi! My name is Lori and I have a small but fun and emerging Etsy Shop. I am so happy to have the chance to be a part of this group, PCAGOE. Although, I have to say, I am quite humbled by the work everyone produces, how talented you all are! I am rather new to clay, and still in the beginnings of learning the different techniques and finishes. It is so exciting, I sometimes cant contain myself!
I took a few pictures of what I've been up to.....
The pictures aren't all that great and I should have buffed the pieces a bit before photographing, duh. I have been having fun trying new things. Mokogame Gane, Embossing, Opal, and Lace Cane. Please comment, I need critique to improve! I actually made quite a few other pieces in the last week or so, but end up selling them to friends before I get a chance to take photos!
Once again, thank you all for the opportunity to be here. I am looking forward to getting to know you all!
Take care and have a wonderful day!
xoxo
Lori aka Cutesis
