Safari beads ready to be hung

This is a little wall hanging that I made for Gabe's room with Fimo clay. I made the animals with cookie cutouts and rolled faux wood logs and beads. Looks very pretty and bright and colorful, and amuses Gabe a lot. That's the whole point. To keep him entertained :)

I made this painting for Gabe's bedroom, to hang above his crib. He's been grabbing everything that we hung too close for his reach, he broke his crib mobile and was always going for a wall hanging too. So, there was nothing above his bed for a week or so, which made me sad. So I made this for him, and he loves it, loves the bright colors. I was very inspired by "Ange Lapin", so cute :)

I made this necklace a couple of days ago with beads found in various stors around Austin. There's so much to choose from here, it's awesome.
It's Lemon Chrysoprase, Quartz with Tourmaline insets, Onyx beads and the pretty drop like pendant is also Onyx. I love stones. I like them better raw then shaped and polished, but I like how this turned out :)
I just wish I had more time for crafts right now... Too much house work going on. Oh well!
