Art sheet and copper - Sold

These beads were made with left over polymer clay mixed media art sheet The colors in them just needed to be highlighted with the deep wine brown rattail cord, rich copper beads and spacers and copper findings. I hand rolled the beads to give them that handmade, natural organic look. I forgot to take a photo of the  wire cord end finding I also made with copper wire. I used a bought lobster clasp.  I sold this set at school.  the teacher was looking for something bold and I suggested this necklace and earring set.  She said it looked like it would be too heavy so I told her to pick it up and she was surprised at how light it was.  She loved it and bought it right away.

Been workin with polymer clay

I haven't posted in a while .  Just find that to post and get jewelry completed along side teaching is sometimes really hard.  However, I have been playin with clay and have actually got a few items done.  I've done some resin work, art sheet jewelry, some leaf earrings and pendant,  some beads and also a few pendants to give my daughters at Thanksgiving.  The pendants are an idea I had when my youngest daughter looked at the leaf pendants I've done and said she would prefer to have a leaf in a stone. I also did a last minute rush order of a necklace for my friend ( for her son's wedding)  so I have been really busy and will post photos as soon as I've finished up the pieces.

Mixed media art sheet technique

I'm so loving this technique. It's fun to do and lots of possibilities.  I just made some pendants, earrings and beads with the left over pieces of the sheet.  Go to  Polymer Clay artist and tutor Cindy Lietz' site
