I have been a powerhouse of ideas this morning.
Just now, I put some polymer clay earrings and a pendant in the oven. Earlier I was sketching out some pendant designs that I will scan before I color them. I also flipped through a few old sketch books, looking for useful things. There were too many to go through right then, so I'll finish that job tomorrow.
Last evening, Granddaughters 1 and 2 came over to show us their birthday party attire. (The party is this afternoon.) They looked like two hookers. I said to #2, "You'd best be careful in that dress not to let your toochie show." She clamped her knees together and cried, "IS IT?" 😂😂😄😄 As they prepared to leave, I told them, "Hurry home [though that would be tough in their hooker shoes], if some dude comes by, you might get propositioned." Just as they were walking out the door, it started to rain. The Husband drove them home, thus avoiding a proposition.
While they were here, they saw some earrings I'd baked yesterday but not assembled. One of them said, "Oh, I like those!" It so happened that they matched the dress she was wearing. So this morning I attempted to assemble them, and the clay (the Walmart clay) broke when I tried to put a jump ring in a hole. Granted, the clay was thin, only 1/8". I remade them with a backing to thicken them. They're baking now. Unless I eff them up, I will UV resin them before I assemble them. That ought to stabilize them, for sure.
We'll be taking the birthday cakes over in a couple of hours. They're not the most professional-looking cakes, but they'll do. One has a horse head on it (with pretty feathers in its mane) for the wanna-be cowgirl, and the other has a highland cow (for the wanna be veterinarian). I hope they get a kick out of them.
