Selling Jewelry On Etsy… A Rose Pendant Necklace Designed by Bren

Polymer Clay Rose Pendant Necklace

Accomplished Digital Artist and Self Proclaimed “Crazy-In-Love-With-Roses” Person, Learns Polymer Clay… Quickly!

Brenda Landers-Smith (Bren) was a polymer clay newbie just a few short months ago. That’s when she purchased the polymer clay beginners course. Last week she sent me photos of her beautiful polymer clay rose pendants. One of them is pictured above. She also sent me pics of her Chibi style bears with their very cute polymer clay faces.

In her email Bren said… “Here are some of my recent sales THANKS to your clay videos!” Now as a teacher, those are the types of words that give me a warm feeling inside. I am so, so proud of you Bren! You have come very far in such a short time.

Just look at her rose bead. Expertly formed and not a fingerprint in site! Bren also sent me a photo of two happy customers wearing her rose pendant necklaces. They looked so pretty wearing them!

So for all of you who have a goal to make and sell your own handmade jewelry or polymer clay sculptures, I’m telling you, it can be done! It doesn’t even have to take a long time before you can succeed. Just ask Bren!

It would be great if a few of you could give her a little love and support by leaving a comment below.
