Wired Sea Glass

I've been practicing with different methods of wrapping the sea glass with wire. I am starting to get the hang of it. This is what I have so far.

I need some more sea glass. More wire would be nice too. OOOO! Maybe different colors! The possibilities are endless. This is fun. :D

Well... Until next time,

SCULPEY!

Ha! Sculpey. That would be the name of the brand of polymer clay that I bought today. I made this really sweet turtle. 

I got the idea from here. She has some really superb tutorials and ideas. She made her turtle with gum paste, but I didn't have any gum paste or any cakes to put it on, so I made mine with polymer clay. I also put one of those little loops on it so I can use it as a pendant. It's not perfect, but i really like it.

I wanted to get a little better at sculpting things so I could make better cakes, but I didn't want to have to make new cakes just to try out my sculpting skills. Plus I haven't yet mastered the art of making gum paste, fondant, or modeling chocolate, but I'm practicing. Hobby Lobby and Michael's both have cake decorating classes that I've been looking into. Wish me luck with that.

On another note, I also made some sea glass pendants. For a while I've had some sea glass that I haven't done anything with. I had thought about making pendants, but I had no clue what I was doing so I didn't even try. However, I was super bored today so I decided... What the heck... Why not. :D This is what I made.

They aren't the best, but they were a first try. They definitely won't be the last. 

Thanks for reading!

I forgot to post pictures of my birthday! :O

So my birthday was May 12 and I just realized that I forgot to post pictures. At least one of the cake that I made because it was awesome. So I shall do that now.

Rissa and Andy! My awesome sistah and her awesome husband. I love these guys!

This was the cake I made. It was six layers of funtastical yumness!

Cherith and Andy

Anne Marie

Jennifer and the lovely little Mia! BTW... That baby is my favorite baby ever! She's my lovely little niece! :D

Jennifer and Katie

Anne Marie!

These are the earrings that my daddy bought for me. It was funny... He said I saw them and thought they were cute. I've never heard him say anything like that. It was hilarious.

This is the makeup palette that I got. Thank you Katie! You know me so well! I freaking love this! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

And that concludes my Birthday pictures. I should have more but I kind of got a little sidetracked by the baby. But who wouldn't? It was an awesome birthday. The only thing I would have changed is having my mom and my older sister and my brother there, but they couldn't be there. However, when I see them next I will for sure make another cake and make them eat it. Plus I love making cakes. :D

That's all for now.

Hello, Kitty!

Last week I made a cake for a girl next door and she wanted a Hello Kitty cake. I happen to think that Hello Kitty is creepy, but I gave her one anyway. It was my first cake on which I used fondant and it didn't look half bad. I was super excited about it. Here are some pictures!

So that's my rendition of the ever creepy Hello Kitty. I hope the birthday girl liked it and had an awesome birthday. 

Bye for now!
