There’s talk of fireworks and picnics and I’m feeling all red, white and blue. Stars and stripes canes make simple, fail-safe beads. Look at these simple little ones from Arizona’s Barbara Handy who does a brisk business in summertime polymer clay flip-flops.

Lance Perry’s (Crescent Hill Designs) polymer clay Uncle Sam and Firecracker sculptures will, he hopes, “…ease one’s growing pains by taking them back to their childhood, if only for a moment.”

Barbara’s tiny feet jewelry is a hoot. I can see a charm bracelet jam packed with them and some beads.
Lance does the kind of work I can’t, sculpture. I so admire stuff like that.
Great finds Cindy.
Barbara Handy ,
