Been playing with Faux Jade

Since I spent ALL of my Labor Day weekend helping one of my sisters redo the cabinet doors -- ALL OF THEM!!! -- in my mother's kitchen, I did not get to play with clay this weekend.  But I do have something new to share with you.  Recently Lynda Mosley, one of the members of PCAGOE (Polymer Clay Artists Guild of Etsy), was doing a series of faux jade beads and I decided to try my hand at it.  I didn't get anywhere near as fancy as Lynda did (her beads are to die for!) but I was pleased with my results.  What do you think?  Did I capture the "jade" look? 

For a closer look, feel free to go to my Flickr site.  You may have to click to the 3rd or 4th page.
