\"Polymer <\/span>“Your mom will definitely LOVE IT! What a gorgeous necklace… thanks for sharing.”

Last year as a Christmas present for my mom, I made a Convertible Necklace<\/a> that could be worn in several different ways. This year she is getting something less elaborate, but just as cool. It’s\u00a0 a simple necklace design that will allow her to switch out different polymer clay pendants to match up with whatever she happens to be wearing.<\/span><\/p>\n

This necklace incorporates a black leather cord with some handmade copper wire cord ends<\/a>, and hammered copper findings<\/a> for the clasp. A variety of different polymer clay pendants can then be hung from this same cord (not all at the same time of course :-).<\/span><\/p>\n

The polymer clay pendant in the photo above, was done using my Deep Crackle Faux Raku Technique<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

To keep the focus on the beautiful bead, I thought it would be best to wire the bead simply with a hand wrought copper head pin<\/a> done in the messy wrap style<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since there is going to be several pendants that my Mom could hang from the same cord, I wanted the bail for the pendant to be easy to take on and off the cord. So I made a large jump ring or chain link with some heavy copper wire and hammered it flat to give it strength and texture. Then used it for the bail.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am hoping to add four or five more pendants to her gift in a variety of styles, so she can wear them with any out fit. I am thinking of adding the Chandelier Pendant<\/a> with the Dogwood Flower Cane Beads<\/a> and maybe the Purple and Olive Pendant from the Mica Shift Video<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope she likes it! (Good thing she is too busy at this time of year to be reading my blog. Otherwise it would spoil the surprise!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
