Ash Wednesday Icons

     After the baby blue from yesterday, here are some hearts and icons in a lighter tone for Ash Wednesday. My little Methodist church behind the house is having an Ash Wednesday service tonight. It's very small, and there are only a few of us, but very special and meaningful. Most of the folks who attend are from the neighborhood. 
     For a long time I dreaded making bezels, because my mock-ups in polymer clay weren't tight and smooth, so I had to do a lot of cleanup after casting. While I had the time off, I re-created the bezels, and made new molds from the brand new shapes. Now they are tight and there isn't as much cleanup after casting. So I was able to make quite a few in the few days I had in the studio. 
     I've been meaning to do this for quite some time. It's the TIME factor that has held me back. I had a whole list of to-do's while I had the last few days available, and I got quite a few items crossed off!
     I had little hearts like these in the Etsy shop when I first moved to Louisiana, but lately I haven't had any available - but I resolve to keep them around from now on!
