Pastels, Leopard Print, and Darth Vader

So here’s some of the goodness I’ve been working on lately!

IMG_4895I’ve never been huge on pastels, but lately that’s changing! It must be spring.

These piano cameos were made for my friend, Velma. Her and her husband, Steve, are my absolute favorite regulars at the pub I work at. Every year, they visit Las Vegas. They have friends there who are dueling pianists, so they asked me to make a pair of piano pendants for them! This is what I came up with.IMG_4716This was a custom photo cameo for my friend, Sky.IMG_4634One of my lovely Etsy customers requested a pendant with leopard print and Bettie Page. I love both of those things, so of course I was excited to do so! I decided to make the clay setting leopard print patterned, which meant making a clay cane for the first time.IMG_4612In my Polymer Clay class, we were very briefly shown how to make clay canes, so I had some basic knowledge of the process. I ended up getting it right on the first try, and made quite a few leopard print settings. It was really fun to do, and I liked the way it turned out. I’ll probably experiment with canes and patterns a bit more soon!IMG_4628

So today is the day that Star Wars: Episode 1 premieres in 3D, with the rest of the movies soon to follow. I have some pretty mixed feelings about this. I love Star Wars, but I feel like Lucas has the tendency of bastardizing his own creations in the name of $$$$. Alas, I felt the need to wear my Star Wars shirt today, and I’ll probably end up giving in and going to the theater sometime this week to see some three-dimensional light saber action. (I’ll just cover my eyes whenever Jar Jar Binks makes an appearance. But I digress…

I have a long night of work at the pub ahead of me, so I’m wearing the mandatory collared shirt. I’m rocking a dangly earring in just one ear today, inspired by my best friend, Stacey, and her habit of asymmetrical earwear. Sadly, I cannot wear my Darth Vader mask to work while hitting unsuspecting customers with my lightsaber. I may or may not have been a lady Darth Vader for Halloween one year. I also may or may not have a whole shelf devoted to Star Wars figurines.IMG_2825
