\"Lentil <\/span>“I just love your pendant and I would want to keep it for myself as well.” ~Ritzs<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Getting this close to Christmas I am not able to write very long posts… still have some more polymer clay jewelry pieces to finish up. But I wanted to show you something I made that I’ll be keeping for myself as a present… to wear this holiday season.<\/span><\/p>\n

This simple, clunky and funky looking necklace was made using quite a few of the techniques that I have shown you throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The focal bead is a Swirly Lentil Bead<\/a> I made using some scraps from the Holly and Berry Canes<\/a>. It has a bit of a unique shape to the lentil, that you may not have seen before. After rolling the lentil the normal way, I gently reshaped the bead into more of a teardrop form. Then instead of piercing the bead from top to bottom, I chose to pierce it through the sides at the top where the bead narrows.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using the messy wrapped<\/a> style, I wired the top of the lentil bead and gave it a wide almost square loop at the top for the bail.<\/span><\/p>\n

The focal pendant was then strung onto a faux suede cord on which I added some handmade wire cord ends<\/a> and a hook.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love this necklace. How smooth and polished the bead feels, and just the overall look of it. It goes beautifully with a pair of nice jeans and a crisp blouse. Just my kind of polymer clay jewelry!<\/span><\/p>\n

I just love your pendant and I would want to keep it for myself as well. Just another thing for me to try, If only we could make clay hours to do it all in I would make a years supply lol, I have never spent so much time on the computer until I became a member of yours its just great. Cindy you are special. <\/span>~Ritzs<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you Ritzs. You are special too. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.I hope you all are having a wonderful time!!

By the way…. did anyone else make themselves some Holiday jewelry as a special polymer clay gift this year? I’d love to hear about when you get a chance.
