| Tiny Things Swap Seems like I always go straight to the tropical stuff or maybe I just 'think' I know what fruit looks like and felt safer working with familiar stuff. Naw ... it's the tropical 'need' in me, lol! |

| Faux Stone / Gem / Rock Swap 2007 This swap had me stumped. I tried making Jade "Greenmen" pendants with faux pearl and Lapis Lazuli. The Jade color looked better before it was baked but turned darker afterwards. Live and learn! I did like the Lapis Lazuli so I made some heart pendants. My husband said the pearls looked "real" so that made me feel better! lol! I made a necklace with the leftover clay. |

Beach Vacation Swap 2007 Made mini frames and used real shells to make molds for the shells on the frames. I used old charms (seahorse, starfish, fish, etc.) and pressed them into the clay to make the other decorations. The frames are about 2" x 21/2" in size. I cut out little lighthouses from a small calendar to use for the photos ...I lust to live in a lighthouse! |

| Summer Swap 2006 Ah, yes! My favorite subject! I had a lot of fun with this one and, as usual, couldn't decide on one idea so I made a bunch of stuff. |

| Bug Swap 2006 Couldn't decide what kind of bug to make so I made all different kinds of bugs ...mostly "imaginary" ones. |

| Mini Food Swap More bunches of stuff due to indecision. I just have a hard making the same thing over and over again! lol! The little clay baskets with oranges are about 1" x 2" ... I made tiny oranges and used some recycled mesh from a produce bag to make "bags" for the 'Florida' oranges! Yes, those ARE some dang big Oreo cookies which doesn't exactly fit the scale size! |
