beaded

It's been quite here at the Notions blog. I've been battling a yucky virus-y thing-y for the past few weeks and this week it's grip tightened and I spent two whole days in bed. I can't remember that last time I did that. But now I see the light at the end of the tunnel and I think I'm finally on the mend. I'm taking it easy today (read: lying in bed reading magazines) but I thought that I'd upload some images I took last week of some new necklaces that will be making appearances next month at the Christmas Apron Design Market and MARKit @ Fed Square. These are part of my new venture i wish i had a little shop. These necklaces are made from hand made polymer clay beads and hang on either an 80cm or 40cm silver chains. I've been mixing the colours by hand to get the right balance between bright summer neon and softer pastel hues and I'm really happy with the combinations. Each time a look at them I can't help but smile. Maybe I should call them smile necklaces? Nah, too cheesy, even for me. But I have to say, I never had that emotional response from things I made under the Notions label. For me that is further affirmation that I'm on the right path.
