And in keeping with this tradition, I&#8217;m going to start publishing a regular series of what I call <em>Gallery<\/em> posts, to showcase some of my current jewelry designs and projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The idea here is that when you see something you would like to learn how to make, simply post a comment to let me know. Your suggestions could be for specific bead shapes, cane projects, wireworking, jewelry making techniques&#8230; or whatever else may be on your mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In fact, your requests and ideas don&#8217;t even have to relate to the <em>Gallery<\/em> post you are commenting at. I&#8217;m happy to hear about anything you would like me to try to work into the schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">And just like I have said many times in the past, your comments are like votes. So be sure to tell me what&#8217;s on your mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">One other new feature you will notice in these <em>Gallery<\/em> posts, is that I have put a sales price on the jewelry pieces being showcased. I end up making a lot of items to use for show &amp; tell in my videos. And I figured there are probably at least a few of you who might want to purchase some of my <em>Cindy Lietz Signature Designs<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">These are not production jewelry pieces so you will have to go ahead and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/contact-me.html\">contact me<\/a> about availability.<\/span><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/2010-05\/07-mushroom-jewelry-2010-05-05-063.jpg\" alt=\"Polymer Clay Mushroom Jewelry by Cindy Lietz\" width=\"200\" height=\"838\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25px;\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Anywho&#8230; enough rambling about how things work. Here&#8217;s the first <em>Gallery<\/em> piece I&#8217;d like to present. It&#8217;s a Polymer Clay Mushroom necklace. The cute little &#8216;shroom would also work perfectly as a charm for a bracelet. Design possibilities are endless. You can literally let your imagination go wild with color combinations, shapes and sculptural embellishments.<\/span><\/span>This little cutie is just the kind of mushroom you would see in a Fairy&#8217;s Garden. The Pink and Orange striped base, topped with a Mauve sculpted flower, and soft green tendrils, are perfectly suited for you girls who love a little whimsy in your jewelry!<\/p>\n<p>This unique pendant has been placed on a 15&#8243; rubber choker cord with an antique brass chain and glass bead dangle on handmade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/making-headpins-copper-findings-polymer-clay-jewelry-projects\/5228\/\">copper headpin<\/a> that can be adjusted up to 18 1\/2&#8243;.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/polymer-clay-tutorial-making-your-own-cord-end-findings-video\/7086\/\">cord ends<\/a> and clasp are hand wrought copper, which ties in nicely with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/polymer-clay-tutorial-jewelry-wire-wraps-loops-links-video\/6861\/\">messy wrap<\/a> headpin design used to hang the mushroom pendant.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Price: $25<\/strong><\/span> &#8212; If you are interested in purchasing the full necklace displayed in today&#8217;s post, then <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/contact-me.html\">send me an email<\/a>.
