Fall Maple leaf necklace- sold
This maple leaf is made from polymer clay. It is very light weight and hung on a leather cord. I created this leaf in beautiful fall colors changing from green to reddish brown with a copper tone jumpring.

Wild Woman
Here's the complete set I made with the leopard print . There's the watch bracelet, necklace and earrings. I sanded and buffed the polymer clay animal print beads till they had a glassy appearance. I had so much fun making the ear wires out of copper wire. I used wooden beads for the watch and necklace to give it that earthy, wild, jungle lookand strung the pendant on a leather cord.

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.

Sand dollar pendant
This is another pendant where I used some left over scraps of clay and mixed it. It had some inks and mica powders. It turned into this beautiful pale peachy color with a shimmer and hint of deeper pink. I engraved this design into it and filled it up with some shimmer powders and then put resin on top. It looks quite different and I'm pleased how it turned out. A couple of friends told me it reminded them of the sand dollar so that's what I called it. I strung it on black leather cord with a little silver spacer bead.

Folkart pendant
This pendant was made with left over scraps of clay. I used some black clay with a folk art face mold and then used strips of left over clay from another textured pendant. I added a design ontop of the joinings and it made quite an interesting pattern. I don't like to waste clay and this is what's so good about polymer clay. You can always use up the scraps and they turn out into a surprisingly beautiful piece. I used a plain leather cord and a silver spacer bead.
