I tried a new thing today, well - at least new for me. I had a moon stone type, tear-drop shaped piece of polymer in my craft room and couldn't think of anything to do with it. I was looking on Pintrest and saw a piece of wire wrapped polymer - and there were holes in the polymer with wire going through the holes! Wow - the possibilities. I have wrapped wire around polymer - not ever through it.
This meant getting out my tools. I have a Dremel that I hadn't used in years and a dapping hammer - YAY! I think I enjoyed this part more than the wrapping part to be honest. So I drilled some holes, hammered a little wire and the photo below is the result. It's not perfect, but I think for a first try it came out pretty good - and oh the possibilities!

I've been wanting to do a video on three of my dragon pieces - but my house is so loud in the winter! I got a new oil furnace installed last November and the house is so loud it's hard to hear myself think. The camera picks that sound up really well too.
The brown dragon guardian I've shared before there are two more that defend Dragon world too and I don't think I've shown them - at least not here. There is a gray guardian and a purple guardian. They are both defending a precious stone. (Also made of polymer clay.) The cabochon that the Purple Guardian is defending is also wire wrapped.

It's been really snowy and cold here again today - it is February though and both February and March tend to be the higher snow fall months here in the Cambridge Valley. I hope that where ever you are this finds you happy, healthy and doing something that you enjoy. Remember that every day may not always be good - but every day has it's good moments - cherish those you find. K
