One of my favorite plants in the Mojave Desert is the Joshua Tree. I was playing with polymer clay and was inspired to make a few pendants. This one has the “ghost” of a Joshua Tree design. Matches up well with this macrame necklace I knotted. I’m liking this new-to-me design for the necklace. Enjoy […]

My interpretation of the April Monthly Art Bead Scene Challenge.  The real challenge these days is trying to find some time to create.
