Pink....And PMC!!

I love getting roses...doesn`t every woman? These are some dried roses from years ago and then from last month. Some are "I`m sorry" roses, "happy birthday" roses, and my favorite, "just because" roses. I always hate to dry them, but the years of enjoying them is so worth it.


I`ve been taking several classes using PMC (precious metal clay). I am now certified (level one). I`ll be taking Level two in October! These are just a few projects I finished to qualify. I`m going to try to use other colors in my work...but I love PINK!!
This is a fold over bail, setting a stone and CZ, adding a sash. I`m still working on a chain...



You can`t really tell this flower pendant has tiny PINK CZ`S in the center of each flower. I did this at home using a torch. The second pendant was another project from Level Two. This is a split bail. You really can`t tell the pendant is also called a lentil bead. Each side is domed. I love this technique....



I am linking to Beverly`s PINK Saturday.... So many lovely ideas especially if you enjoy using PINK in your creative work.
