Natasha bead necklace - gone!

Here's the completed necklace with the Natasha Bead.  If you want to know more about the Natasha Bead just scroll down to an older post with information about the bead. It's a unique one of a kind bead made with left over scrap polymer clay. Since it was a large bead and very patterned, I thought I'd keep it really simple with a leather cord and fancy bead caps to show off the bead.

Fabric Roses

I made these fabric polymer roses with scraps of left over fabric, alcohol inks and pearlex powders. I used a light pink fabric and I like how the inks bled into the fabric and the powders and inks just blended together. It kind of gave a depth and shading to the roses all of it's own. I think I'm going to use the smaller roses  for earrings and the bigger one in a necklace.

Fall pendant

Made this pendant for my daughter and gave it to her on Thanksgiving.  It's adjustable; I strung it on a simple black rattail cord and I added a copper bead to highlight the warm fall tones in the maple leaf.

Dichroic swirly pendant

This pendant turned out really colorful. It's the Faux dichroic technique .I used a swirly texture sheet and strung it on rattail cord with a silver spacer bead and made it an adjustable necklace.

Faux Dichroic

I made this pendant with the faux dichroic glass technique.  It was so much fun.  I have done actual fused dichroic glass and it's beautiful but with this I could eliminate cutting glass, grinding it and using the hot kiln! Polymer clay is so amazing!!! I used a stamp for the design and Judikins fluxe enameling resin. I think I would have got a more domed effect using Ultra dome. I used a cord and made it an adjustable necklace. If you'd like to learn about this technique check it out here faux dichroic glass
