@Susan B: Since I’ve just started to play around with bangles I really appreciate your comment and your ideas are great. Thanks so much for sharing. I use Premo! and it seems to hold up very well. I intentionally did not sand, buff, or coat with PYM II on these since I was trying for that more ‘native American’ look. On the red ones I only used my leather edge finisher on the inside – more for comfort than for looks. Once tonight’s fund raiser for the Navajo mission project is over I can try for more ‘elegant’ bangles – and yours sure sound elegant to me!

I agree…Carolyn’s bangles are very attractive. Well done Carolyn! I had a go at making some by wrapping a snake of clay around a soda can (which is a perfect size for my wrist) and then covering it with cane slices. Shaping and smoothing using corn starch then curing for one hour in the over by placing the can on a ceramic tile and putting a card tent over the top. I finished by lots of sanding and buffing. My bangles are slightly flexible but appear to be very strong. I use Cernit which can take a while to condition but “behaves” nicely, especially when it gets very hot where I live.

@carolyn: I too checked out your bangles Carolyn and they are really lovely! The garnets are just gorgeous embedded in the clay. You said in your posts that they are very strong and durable. What are you doing to ensure this?

@carolyn: Carolyn, I posted a comment on your blog, too, but I had to tell you I love the bangles! Such fun, right? The red ones are my faves, (love red, love garnets!) I also love the story of where you got the garnets, from the Navajo. Really cool!

@Cindy Lietz from Polymer Clay Color Recipes: Cindy, I just posted two more bangles on my blog. These are red pearl with faux bone and one has garnets. I’m really pleased with how these are turning out. My other ones – blues – I posted on my blog on Monday. dovedesigns.blogspot(dot)com. Hope you’ll hop over there to take a look.

@Mary: If you're talking about the one you can see in the video screen up above Mary , it is a white cane wrapped in black. No Skinner Blend on that one. Of course a blend would look good too! @Susan B: That's a good idea Susan! I've been working on a couple bangle ideas lately that I will share when I iron the kinks out. @carolyn: I would love to see your bangles Carolyn! I'm glad to hear you are well.
