Cinda's Decorative Heart Box Using Polymer Clay

Cinda, my daughter, has been using polymer clay to make jewelry and decorative boxes.  She brought this one for me to see when she came to
visit last week.   Camera may not do justice to the pearlized finish unless you click to enlarge.  She and Ginger made mosaic tiles for a picture frame for us when we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary 2 years ago.  It has a very special place on our mantel.  We were supposed to work with UTTE (Ultra Thick Embossing Powder) but we ran out of time for doing crafts. She got me some Vintja blanks that I need to use Ranger Patina inks for jewelry for myself or friends. Cinda also is doing some resin jewelry.  Too bad bead store in W-S closed.  

I decided to not post a chocolate image today. I went to the Farmer's Curb Market this a.m. I found some vegetables that were inspirational in their texture and am changing my menu for today. I wrote the Valentine message in the lettuce. I am trying some roasted baby turnips with olive oil and Italian seasoning mix. The lighting was fluroscent but from a high ceiling. I only cropped the image a bit. The lettuce will  be used in a recipe like Arby's Martha's Vineyard Salad with chicken, apples, green onions, pecans, craisins, tomatoes, and lite raspberry viniagrette dressing. A glass of red wine = antioxidants. A sugar-free lemon pudding with non-dairy topping for dessert.
