More shawl pins

I've been distracted by machine knitting the last couple of weeks and haven't been keeping up on posting new polymer things.  I added these shawl pins to my line a couple of weeks ago.  Hope you like them.

Doggie Sweaters

I took a bit of a break from clay over the holidays and did some knitting on my knitting machine.  My first project was some doggie sweaters for the two cutest dogs in the world.  I also have matching scarves for Mommy and Daddy almost finished.  Awwww....

Everything's coming up roses

Here is my latest shawl pin,  It's an image transfer of roses on a sheet of music (image from Sabine's ImageArts on Etsy) and I made the stick into a rosebud on a stem.  

Much better version of Palette pin

I think this version is much better and I will go with it to make some more pins.  The palette is Kato Pearl which I baked, sanded and buffed then added the color blobs later.  After a second baking, I coated the "blobs" with some Future to give them some shine.

New shawl pin prototype

Here is a rough first draft of a new shawl pin I'm working on.  It's an artist's palette.  I'm still thinking about what color to make the palette and the brush handle.  Probably I'll have to make the palette first, sand and buff it and then add the color blobs later.  What do you think of it?

Shawl Pins with Stroppel Cane

I thought I would get on the bandwagon and make something with a Stroppel cane, so here are two new shawl pins.  The cane ends came from the large cane I made in Carol Simmons class.  I cut the slices fairly thick and then ran them through the pasta machine to spread them out.  The heads of the pins show the original size of the Stroppel cane.

More Shawl Pins

Here are a couple more shawl pins.  These were made with a texture sheet and then coated with mica powders.  Quite elegant, if I do say so myself.
