DREAM CATCHER
The box is about 6" across and comes with a blank inset and is lined with black velvet. These make wonderful gifts.
I cut out small pictures to place inside to symbolize my highest aspirations. In my Dream Catcher is a picture of wild haired kid, blowing bubbles toward the sky. It reminds me to be light, have fun and make my own bubbles in life.
TABLETOP MOBILES
Learn bead making techniques, string and embellish clay elements, the art of balancing mobiles.
Left: World on a String mobile, polymer clay elements with bead and wire embellishments.
Right: Genevieve's mobile. My daughter cleaned out her jewelry box and gave the discards to me. I embellished the elements with polymer clay. The base is made from a $1 thrift store lamp. Copper tubing is used as the support branch.

Learn how to make a face and apply it to a gourd of your choice. There are endless possibilities for dressing and embellishing the figure. To the immediate right is Puddle. She has clay strips applied to her body and she is embellished with beads and copper wire.
On the far right are Coral and Lila. The are Mardi Gras peeps. Their bodies are painted winged gourds and glass stem. Tail feathers are made from Wisteria pods.
