I've been wanting to try one of these for quite a while now but I have successfully talked myself out of doing it multiple times.
What if it's too hard? What if I try and it just looks like crap?!!
Well then just take it apart and try again☺ Just try.
So I finally did! And it turns out it wasn't as hard as I had been thinking. And it didn't look like crap. And I didn't have to take it apart:~) But I am going to try again. I got the larger stone when Hubby and I visited Utah (I think) It is rose quartz. I ordered some rose quartz chips to make the tree.  I had some, vague grand plans to wrap the "roots" around the large stone for the base but when it actually came down to  doing the attaching..... Um... no. All I did here was wrap the roots around the stone and staple  them to the wooden base. I covered the wire ends and staples with air dry clay then colored it with inks. I was going for a "moss" look. Not sure if I'm thrilled with that pa…

Like I said before, I am going to be sitting out this year from The Year of Jewelry Project.
(It already feels weird when I see a notification that someone has posted:)
But I am really excited to be doing more with the clay again.
Soooo........here goes.
This was my last contribution for 2016.
 I made it a two-fer☺
This pretty much sums up my New Year's resolution for 2017☺ But I am hoping to get into the habit of posting something, whether it is an "in progress" pic or a finished item or even an idea, at least once a week. I got this app called "Hootsuite" that is supposed to post to multiple social media sites at once. We'll see if I want to get that "techie" or not☺
2016 was actually a pretty good year for me (& mine) and I am ready to keep on keepin' on:~)

Bring on 2017!
