I managed to get two new pictures up. One is of purple polymer clay heart earrings with heart glitter and of course coated in epoxy resin.

The other is of some beautiful earrings that I made by partially blending several sea inspired polymer clay colors together, cutting out the shapes, then twisting them to get their neat effect.

I won't sell these blue/green earrings though. They look beautiful even 5 or 6 inches away, but when you look close you can see that they are my "factory seconds". I was experimenting with dipping the earrings in epoxy resin as you can't really coat things that aren't flat. I don't like the way they turned out as they have some dimpling that others probably can't see, but I can. Figure I can start stocking up my personal collection with things I don't quite think are good enough to sell.
This website still needs work. I want to have each image clickable so that a new window opens with a larger view, or if the item is on sale at Esty, then it can open up into that spot in my Etsy shop, where you can usually see 2 or 3 larger pictures. (And of course buy them if you so desire....)
I had thought of trying to put a place for comments under each picture, but I think that gets bulky. A fellow classmate suggested a ratings system under each picture. I like that idea. That way I can get feedback on what people do or don't like. Now I just need to find a Joomla! application that will allow me to do that. I am sure it is out there somewhere.
