Selling Clay Bead Making Stuff...

Clay bead making is not for me. I purchased EVERYTHING and not once have I enjoyed making beads. :0( So, not only did I ruin a perfectly good toaster oven [once you bake polymer clay in the toaster over, you CANNOT use it for making food. The clay gives off poisoness fumes] but I have all of this stuff crowding my workspace. So, I'd like to sell everything and was wondering if anyone would be interested in purchasing it?
It would include:
Toaster Oven
Pasta Maker
Bead Rollers
Baking Rack with PinsClay
Working Tools
Clay Cutter
CLAY- I think over 15 different colors of clay
If you're interested, please drop me a note and we can discuss prices and I'll post a picture soon.

This is interesting. 5 Things to know about your cell

5 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do

For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.) There are a few things that can be done in times of grave Emergencies.Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST EmergencyThe Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find Yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to Establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND Have you locked your keys in the car?Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys In the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot >From your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object... You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!'

THIRD Hidden Battery PowerImagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time.

FOURTH How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone: *#06#. A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.If your phone gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/ sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones. And Finally.....

FIFTH Free Directory Service for CellsCell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800)FREE411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.

This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends.

I've been slacking lately

So the large hole beads I filled with a piece of coiled wire and put swirls at each end so they wouldn't slide around. Then I took some very small seed beads, strung them on wire and coiled a tube creating a ''beaded bead''. I love this bracelet. It turned out so colorful and cute.... great for summer.

FINALLY... some new pieces

Green, white and gold twists of wire are spacers for this clossienne beaded bracelet.

Purple wire knitted to be the closure of this purple and silver beaded bracelet

Black and silver watch linked together with black/gray oval shell beads with silver spacers bent at the top and botton of the beads.

I haven't posted in awhile

Well, I've been learning how to knit wire. It's a little challenging, but if you know me, I like a challenge. I'm actually spool knitting wire and so far, I think I'm enjoying it? lol Anything dealing with wire, I enjoy. I'll be posting some creations soon.

Two Sister's Gourmet/Jewelry By Jaws Party

1. My sister Ann and I [I look like a hot mess] 2. Ann finding info. about a product 3. Check out that spread... yummy 4. Angela won both raffles, 4 spices and a keychain 5. Part of my Cock Themed kitchen

My silly neice was in charge of taking pictures [I'll rethink that one next time] but these were the only nice pictures. I had a total of 7 people show up and it was really fun.

Facebook?

First Myspace, now Facebook? I guess I have to keep up with the communication, internet world.

Turquiose Necklace

I wasn't quite sure what I was doing with this necklace but boy did it turn out pretty. Lots of turquiose drop beads mixed with white glass pearls. I coiled matching wire in the middle of the necklace and created both pieces with memory wire. Oh, the pretty ''chunk'' is dangling by pearly, white chain. This pic. is not doing it justice.

I just love wire

The red bracelet turned out so pretty... I do have to say... I twisted and turned red and silver wire. Then I added some red and clear glass bicone beads and added silver chain to finish it.

How much fun is this bracelet? I actually made the purple/tan swirl bicone beads with polymer clay and coiled some springy fun spacers. CUTE

mORE fUZZY tHINGS

Ah, my crazy white duster earrings. Kinda 70's looking huh?

Maroon Fuzzy Hooplas. These are fun, fuzzy and fun.

Oscar The Grouch's Bracelet

I've been busy

Celtic Hooplas- I'm actually keeping these for myself

I'm in ''Earring Mode''

LOOK at this one. I was inspired by Kelly Snelling with this earring... yes, I'll make another one. But I took olive green wire and wrapped it around some fun, fluffy, olive green yarn and added a wire wrapped glass bicone bead at the botton. I might keep these for myself.


Red Background Brown Background





Okay, so I only made one brown dangly earring so far, but isn't it cute?

I call these my Blue Moon earrings.

Jewelry By Jaws On The Go

For the rest of the month, I'm going to go to companies, homes and anywhere else to sell my jewelry before Christmas. If you are interested, just email me at Myshells37@aol.com and we can figure out the details from there.

This is my new display case and I LOVE IT! I bought it from http://www.nilecorp.com/. It was very inexpensive and they have a LOT of other great jewelry displays, bags, etc.. Check them out.

Oriental Orbit Earrings

My NEW update version of The Coiling Gizmo. I wanted a 1 inch diameter circle. I bought a wooden dowel and asked my Dad to cut 4 inches and drill a hole down the center to TIGHTLY secure the dowel to the Coiling Gizmo's rod... WAAA LA

Aren't these cute earrings? They match the necklace down below.

Countdown

Christmas?

This is the closest that my Blog will resemble Christmas. I'm not a huge ''Christmassy'' person and I don't look forward to this time of year. I LOVE giving but feel uncomfortable receiving. I love to see crafter's Christmas Themed crafts. Sometimes it's easier to create something when there is a theme attatched to your idea. I do have a Christmas tradition... I drive through Candy Cane Lane every year... sometimes twice. What is Candy Cane Lane you ask? Candy Cane Lane is about 6-8 blocks of houses that decorate every year to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy. Sometimes Santa and his friends are there handing of candy. I actually grew up on Candy Cane Lane and I must say, it is a wonderful way to see a community get together for a good cause. So, you may have started out by reading this post and thinking ''Boy, is Michelle a Grinch'' but ended this post by saying ''What a wonderful tradition... for someone that doesn't like Christmas''

New Stuff

The 3rd picture is a pin I just created.

Wire Wrapped Oriental Necklace

ClayDough

So, my 6 year old nephew Ethan, was at my house and I was creating new jewelry with Polymer Clay. He said ''Michelle, can I play with that too?'' I said ''No honey, but you can play with your PlayDough, it's the same thing.'' He said ''You're playing with PlayDough too?'' I said ''Kind of, mine is ClayDough.'' And that is how we came up with ''ClayDough'' jewelry.
