Lakes

I live in a part of the UK called the Lake District. Maybe you've heard of it? It's inspired a great many poets, writers and artists... and a lot of tourists! The lakes, especially the smaller, quieter ones make great walks and have fabulous views, they really can inspire your mood, whether they be tranquil, or dark and broody, or full of sunshine.

I thought about the lakes that I go to with my dog when this weeks blogging challenge was set for us Polymer Clay Smooshers. 

Here's some photos, and below that, a few items that remind me of them. These were all taken by my lovely boyfriend, I do wish I could claim credit for them! If you want to see more hop on over to Ludo's blog, where he often posts about the lakes.






And here are the items I have chosen.
First, from Gingerbell's gifts, although this one is not polymer clay I loved it so much I had to include it. The colours are all there.

From Imprint Creations, this is a tree of life pendant which reminded me of the trees that frame the lakes.

and this from Kimimela Fae, Again, beautiful colours and I think the shimmer really reflects the sun shining off the water.

All necklaces this time!
