New jewelry!  I finally got some more jewelry done.  I have been having fun with some tissue paper and good old decoupage Modpodge.   I took some heart shaped pieces from B'sue Boutiques and inspiration from one of her videos.  I put tissue paper over the hearts and then added bits and pieces on the top.  Resin coats the top of the hearts.  It was a lot of fun trying this new technique.  I also found some Washi paper and added that to the top of glass tiles and then resin over the top of it.  Those made some really pretty pendants.

It has been quite a while since my last blog.  We have been busy here.  Cliff's step-mother was diagnosed with liver cancer and in about a week she was gone.  It moved incredibly fast or she just didn't want to fight it.  My mother took about 7-8 months to pass away from the same thing.  I am so glad that his step-mom didn't linger, it is just hard on everyone in the family.  It is so sad to watch someone slip away month after month.
