Although I have not gotten a picture of my new items to show you I did want to share with you what I look out and see on a daily basis when I'm working from my studio or on my balcony. The pelicans and birds here are so abundant and I enjoy watching them.<br />
It's sunny today and going to be beautiful. I am working on finishing some of those new designs and will list them by the first of the week.<br />
<br />

There were strong north winds last night so thought there might be some goodies to find. Unfortunately the tide was coming in so there was not much. I did find a tiny baby sand dollar and some large coral. But it was gorgeous walking on the beach as always.<br />

Can't wait to show you some of the new designs I've come up with for wedding dishes - a new dimensional one. Also some Christmas ornaments (yes I'm already coming up with new designs)<br />

<br />
Then came home and sat on the deck watching the fog roll over the bay between me and South Padre Island and had some fresh steamed blue crab. It's great to live on the water.<br />
<br />
I'm going to post some pictures tomorrow of some new items that are waiting to be fired to bisque. Sunday I got to play in the clay and work on some new designs ~ which it seems I rarely find time to do.Wise Impressionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12266357435287026551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063288290384390846.post-29792381962576108042012-01-22T07:11:00.000-08:002012-01-22T07:11:05.537-08:00Ends of clayAfter making dishes it seems I always end up with scraps of clay that I can recondition but too small to really do much with them. So I started playing around with them this morning and decided to start using them to make embossed stamps. Little stamps that are imprinted with designs that you can use on clay, polymer clay and such.<br />
<br />
I have so many textures I can't wait now to get to the end of the clay slabs to create these little cuties.<br />
<br />
Have a great week ~ will give you a peek of the cuties later this week!Wise Impressionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12266357435287026551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063288290384390846.post-1678442180490736912012-01-21T14:28:00.000-08:002012-01-21T15:25:45.210-08:002012 - New Year - New Designs - New Life<span style="font-family: georgia;">Welcome back to Wise Impressions.<br />
It's been a tough 1 1/2 years after my husband's death but I am ready to begin again in 2012.<br />

Be sure to look for new items, designs and ideas. I am in the process (with the help of my daughter) of changing the look of my Etsy shop and I'm trying to start blogging again.<br />
<br />
I will be hosting a free give away at the end of the month so be sure to check back.<br />

Debbie has still not come forward so I may be redrawing for her prize on Monday as well.<br /><br />A friend and I went off to the new birding center they opened today. It's a beautiful sanctuary but going to be costly to visit. We are so blessed with many different types of birds down here. We then went to our favorite Mexican restaurant for queso chicken and chips. It was so good! Stopped a couple of stores (it's so nice when tourist season is over) and came back home.<br /><br />I'm itching to get back on the beach as we spent 3 hours yesterday and found some really nice sea beans. Darryl's watching football so it's doubtful I can get him out.<br /><br />Have a good weekend - I'll be back on Monday to draw!

I tried clicking on her name but her blog is private. . . so on Monday when I draw for the book mark if she has not come forward I will draw another name from last week's entries.<br /><br />We've had rain for 3 days now and as much as I love not seeing the sun for a while I have to admit by yesterday afternoon I was getting a little cranky. I want rain if it's going to be gray outside (spoiled) I guess.<br /><br />Have some new sea glass jewelry going to be posting real soon and some new book mark designs for Halloween.<br /><br />We are in the planning stages of going to Indiana for 3 weeks in October so I am trying to get my shop full of items I think would be great gifts for the holidays. And I try to keep my items priced reasonable.<br /><br />Might go to the beach today and see what's washed ashore.

I just love it ~ and hope you will too. I used a pumpkin shaped glass lamp work bead some Swavorski crystals and then topped off with a pumpkin embossed oval. It is a 6" squiggle bookmark ~ ideal gift for any reader's in your life! Great to tuck into your card when you can't be there for the fall holidays.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5c4aPCRbF0M/SrjZZCLkw0I/AAAAAAAAAAw/BNNLI4zTWiI/s1600-h/912pbm1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5c4aPCRbF0M/SrjZZCLkw0I/AAAAAAAAAAw/BNNLI4zTWiI/s320/912pbm1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384292378626802498" border="0" /></a><br />I have changed the rules just a bit to make it fair for all. If you are a follower and are interested in entering the weekly give away you must post that you are a follower to get an entry. Also to make it easier to find the avatar ~ it will appear on the same type of items in my shop ~ ie book mark!<br /><br />If Monday's winner "Debbie" does not come forward by next Monday - I will draw again from last weeks entries.<br /><br />Below are the ways to enter ~ good luck and have a great week.
