Tile frame for 5 x 7 picture. This frame includes many techniques; it's kind of a "sampler." The edges are outlined with metallic woven trim (from a fabric store).
Polymer clay painting, "Cliffs at Acapulco," 12 x 16. The image is created entirely with clay; no paint was used. Texture was applied by using commercially available texture sheets with a brayer. This was my first effort at clay painting, but it won't be my last!

Okra lizards, 6-8 inches long. These colorful reptiles are made of dried okra pods, polymer clay, and leather cord (for the tongues). Acrylic paint has been applied to the okra after the clay is cured.
Hollow pendant on beaded necklace, matching earrings. The pendant and earring drops are made of metallic clay, utilizing a mica-shift effect. The beads are collected from a variety of sources, including thrift-store finds.
