I bet you did not know that I dabble in Art Clay Silver .  I took a class about 3 years ago.  Then, it just kinda sat there.  Over Spring break I had a renewed interest in the craft.  I have 3 designs coming out in "Belle Armoire Jewelry" .  I am not yet certified.   It takes 3 days of classes to receive your certification, I never seem to have the time.  But I think there is a class on Thursday on how to make tube beads.  I just might check it out.   I just listed 6 Art Clay Silver bird theme pendants at my Etsy shop .  I thought I would share the photographs with you. 

And The Winnners Are.......................
