Here are charms I've made for my art group's Mexico Charm swap. These are inspired by the holiday of Day of the Dead. I took blue fun foam and added felt squares to include the bright mix of colors. I mixed white polymer clay with silver glitter, carved some skulls, and baked them up to be reminiscent of the traditional sugar skulls. The reverse of each charm is a glittered flower, and homemade polymer beads hang off the bottom of each charm.
They were so fun to do! Everyone should play with fun foam and felt on a regular basis!
Especially since it's legal now!
Next up: Chris weaves a friendship bracelet out of chenille stems, and tries to find someone who will take it.

love them! No mention of the creator of the polymer beads?
Love the picture of Stella you added and I really enjoyed Ro's
blog too. Thanks as ever for all
you do and share with us.

You're thinking this was way too nice to really be from me!
Oh, dang. I wish I did this swap, too, now. I love these skulls. And I love Day of the Dead. I'm just too slow to keep up with all of Pam's activities! And then I miss things like this. Wah.
