Berries! Art Elements Berries Reveal

Hi everyone! This month I hosted the Art Elements challenge and I chose the topic "Berries". The launch post is here...

Anyhooo, I planned to make a whole series of berry beads, but alas, Fate intervened. I had an accident at home (fell!) that resulted in a broken wrist. I had surgery about 3 weeks ago, and have been recovering. I was determined to make at least some tiny effort, so despite the pain in my left hand, I managed to make THREE WHOLE BEADS haha. Welp, here they are in all their glory.

Please hop to see what others made - I can't wait to see for myself! Enjoy!




Here's the Hop List:

    Yikes, Karen ... hope you're on the mend in a positive sort of way now! And hopefully that's not your working hand?
    Those are cute and realistic looking berries, can't wait to see them with their colors on. Alysen

      Thank you! It’s my left hand but it’s surprising how much you need BOTH hands to complete tasks in clay.

    I can't believe you managed to make 3 berries considering your injury. Love the shape and detail of the berries- can't wait to see them glazed.

    Your strawberries will be gorgeous once they are glazed! I hope you heal quickly. What a shame that you had a break.

    I love those berries. The shape and details are wonderful. And I'm impressed you made them with an injured wrist. I hope you continue to heal and can get back to full speed soon.

    I hate to hear about your fall and do hope you're healing well. I can't believe you even tried to make something with a broken wrist. And, to have made such adorable berries...seriously unbelievable! You are a rockstar!

    According to Stanford Medical, It is really the one and ONLY reason this country's women get to live 10 years longer and weigh an average of 42 pounds less than we do.

    (And realistically, it has absoloutely NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret exercise and absolutely EVERYTHING to related to "how" they are eating.)

    BTW, I said "HOW", and not "WHAT"...
