Wearable Clay
Hello there. Today I wanted to share with you some Polymer clay jewelry that I've been working on over the past week. I am totally obsessed with this stuff, there's so much you can do with it!
The heart on the top was the easiest of the three pendants. I simply used a small cookie cutter to cut out a heart from some red clay that I rolled out, then I stamped the clay with a rubber stamped image of a swirl. I baked the clay, then rubbed a little clear pigment ink over the raised portion of the heart once it was cooled, then brushed some gold pigment powder over the heart. Lastly, I sprayed it with some clear spray to seal the powder.
The black and white rose pendant is simply black and white clay that I rolled together then swirled around until I liked the way it looked, then I rolled it out and used a cutter to cut out the teardrop shape. I created the rose with tiny cut out circles then attached it to the pendant along with some leaves. Again I gave this one some shine with clear spray.
The last pendant, which is my fave of the three, consists of a circle cut from rolled out black clay and then I decorated it with strips of green and blue clay then added leaves and flowers. This one I've worn a few times and every time I get a compliment on it.
I'm really enjoying working with the clay and can't wait to try new things. I think I like jewelry better than animals, working in 3-D is a bit tough, but I'll keep at it.
Enjoy the rest of your week. Take care. :)
