Linda's Magic Workshop - Linda Britt Design

In my rush to learn new things, I often make pieces instead of a finished project.  I have boxes of polymer canes waiting to become something.  I have tiny silver leaves and flowers waiting to be cured and added to something.  There are pieces of old jewelry in one box that I know I will use someway.  It's much the same as George Carlin's "Stuff".  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvgN5gCuLac Once in a while I actually take a piece and turn it into something finished!  Truthfully I generally finish my jewelry  as I make it.  But not always.....as the boxes filled with pieces attest! silver pieces jewelry pieces polymer pieces  This week I looked at the faux polymer rocks I made last summer and decided I just had to do something with a couple of them.  And look what happened!  Light weight real-looking rocks in wire.  Had to share! front back

We always have several projects going on at our house.  Peter is building a series of custom oak cages for our lizards.   He's been designing, measuring and building them carefully.  They will have lights and heaters and meet the requirements for each kind of lizard.    The backs of the cages have screen on the upper half for ventilation and the lower half is a smooth board.   He wants these habitats to be realistic like those found in nature.   Since lizards love to climb around on rocks,Peter used ‘FixAll’ to create the rock texture.     I used acrylic paints to finish the rock representation.   Painting the board to look like natures rocks Ready to assemble Assembled A series of 3 cages This morning we let Willie try it out.   A test run! We think he likes his new condo!  Willie, the bearded dragon, on his rocks
