I make jewelry...

iNTeNSeBLue98 - Very nice! If you use Modge Podge you'll protect it. It's this stuff that you paint on...it dries clear but leaves a nice, thick protective coating. It's Great!

I did have a bottle of Modge Podge. Wonder where I have it hidden? Thanks for the tip!

I make birthday cakes every year for my DS. Normally, I would buy the Wilton pan and be done with it, but on his third birthday the Buzz Lightyear pan was retired and only found selling on ebay for over 150.00. No thanks. So I had an idea with some corrugated, mylar paper,edible rice paper, and 5 hours of my Saturday night I created and finished this cake for him. After that I almost didn't want to let anyone eat it lol. But anyway here it is and by no means am I a professional baker, but I just wanted to show others that it is not difficult.

Great job! Buzz looks great!

Alex2kMommy · 03-29-2006, 06:47 PM

Oh, boy, my DS5 would have loved this for his birthday cake!

My first attempt at posting a picture of something I made. I made earrings too but I was wearing them and forgot to take them off for the pic.

As a new jewelry addict, I'm experiementing with different combinations of beads and clasps. Unfortunately, I didn't have a gold or bronze clasp for this but I was so excited about it I had to go ahead with what I had. This took hours to make because I started with another design in mind, using a black/silver glass bead as my main bead and working with other beads that I had on hand. I kept manipulating the beads and not liking the configuration. Then I tried working with some green beads I had, again I wasn't satisfied. Finally, the red ones. The main piece is dyed coral, and there are several smaller pieces of coral in it. I kept trying all these red combination and just didn't like it until I remembered the brown/amber beads I had for something else. Then it started coming together. Once the muse spoke, it worked!
