Crafting

Well, I certainly have been enjoying my craft room during these extraordinarily hot dog days of summer.  I recently had the opportunity to go shopping with a friend of mine who is a bit of a 'fashionista' and she has  convinced me that accessories really do finish an outfit.  In an attempt to find pretty but inexpensive jewelry to accessorize with I came across fractured marbles on a website.  Now, the website didn't mention making jewelry out of fractured marbles but I decided, why not? First you bake the marbles at a very high temperature for 20 minutes and then you shock them in ice cold water.  Here's a sampling of the marbles after fracturing and here are a couple of the necklaces I have made.  I'm so behind, I'll post pics later.
