Yes, I’m still making toads. These are some that I made this week.
Happy Holidays!!
Hope everyone had a nice holiday. My sister visited and made some polymer clay pins. She was on a roll making the kimono pins. These are some of them.
The last two pins are ones I made trying to get my sister to make some different pins. She wasn’t that keen about the last pin with the stick pearl but when it came time for her to pick some to take home, she took it. Guess she liked it. I have of pieces that still need to be finished so I’ll still have some to sell at the fall craft shows.
I also made another key finder for my friend.
Once In A Blue Toad
Yes, another toad. This one is a very, very light milky blue with darker blue frit on it. I want to make them in different colors and I think I like the lighter colored toads the best.
Eye Glass Holder
My friend wanted a blue eye glass holder. Well, this is probably as blue as it can get. It’s plain but it’s for a guy and I didn’t want to make anything too flamboyant. Really simple ribbed beads that I made with my new ribbed marver.
Successful Craft Show
Last week I did my last craft show of the year. It went well. There were lots of customers and I sold a lot of my more inexpensive items, like the glass nail files and key finders. Customers that had bought one glass nail file at the previous show came back and bought several of them for gifts. Guess I’ll be making more next year.
My glass club is hosting a Beads Of Courage fundraiser next year in April. There will be a table for people to buy things. I want to make some affordable items and I’m thinking that the toad key chains will be a good seller. So, I’m back to making toads. Here are the first few:
I’ll be making them in all different colors so look for more in subsequent posts.
I Swear This Is It!!
No more toads and key finders. This is all I’m making before the craft show. Here’s the last of them.
Key Finders and Toads
Getting the last things done before my last craft show of the season. I needed to make more key finders since I sold all the ones I’d previously made.
And a few toad clippy keychains. This is a new item. Not sure how well they are going to sell. I think the toads are cute.
Cherry Necklace
This was a really quick project. It probably took me less than 15 minutes to assemble. Probably took me longer looking for all the supplies to make it, I’m so unorganized.
Another Toad Dangle
I didn’t get much done yesterday, it was flipping freezing in the garage last night. The only bead I got done was this toad that I made into a dangle.
