\"Asymmetrical“I also have so many beads that I don’t know what to do with. Your hooks and chains would really settle that problem.” ~Helen-S<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

As you may have gathered from reading the daily posts here at this blog, I really like to combine copper wire and polymer clay beads to create unique handmade jewelry.<\/span><\/p>\n

The asymmetrical necklace in today’s photo, showcases a variety of shapes and sizes of faux raku beads along one side; a hand wrought copper chain with large links on the other; and a wire wrapped flower pendant in the center.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main reason I wrote this post was to remind you that there are more options for your polymer clay beads than just simply stringing them onto a cord. You can often use fewer beads and get more impact if you consider different ways of putting them together.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, do show us how you use the beads. I love to see different ways.<\/span> ~Freda-K<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I also have so many beads that I don’t know what to do with. Your hooks and chains would really settle that problem … Can I just be you for a couple of days? It’ll solve all my problems, learn all the great talents that you have and then I’ll come back to me. I just love everything. Thanks, Honey.<\/span> ~Helen-S<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is also more unique (and less expensive) when you make many of the wire components yourself, to compliment the beads. Although you can’t see it in the picture, the Copper Wire S-Hook Clasp<\/a> for this necklace, was also made by me.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m sure you will agree that making your own findings will not only make your polymer clay jewelry one-of-a-kind, but it will also save you money!<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh yeah!!!!! The more of a project I can do without going to the store for something, the better.<\/span> ~Ken-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To go with this asymmetrical polymer clay necklace, I also made some copper hoop earrings. I’ll be sure to post the photo of these earrings for you, in an upcoming article.<\/span><\/p>\n

So does this give you any ideas for your own polymer clay jewelry projects? Can you start thinking of new ways to combine your polymer clay beads with other types of jewelry findings including handmade wire ones? How do you like to use your polymer clay beads?<\/span><\/p>\n
