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.

Natasha bead

This is a 'Natasha bead' invented by Natasha.  The great thing about it is that it turns out different every time - a one of a kind original bead.  It's kind of magical.  The patterns that emerge look quite intricate but it is actually just scraps of  left over polymer clay lumped together.  You can't really plan a design , just maybe move the clay bits around when you smoosh them together. It ends up having a mirror image on each surface of the bead.  It's like an abstract  painting, the colors flowing and blending and falling into their own pattern. I still have to sand and buff this bead.
