\"Polymer“It was

<\/p>\n

As I explained last Friday in the Mushroom Jewelry <\/a>article, these Gallery<\/em> posts allow me to show you guys some of the current projects I have on the go in my studio. The idea here, is when you see something that you’d like to learn about, simply post a comment to let me know. Your feedback will help to determine what video tutorials get filmed for the Polymer Clay Members Library<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestions could be for specific bead shapes, cane projects, wire working, jewelry making techniques… or whatever else may be on your mind. In fact, your requests don’t even have to relate to the Gallery post you are commenting at. I’m happy to hear about anything you would like me to try to work into the schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Polymer<\/td>\n<\/td>\nI usually don’t make Circus theme jewelry pieces, but every time I look at this handcrafted necklace, I think of balloons, vintage circus themes and of the time we saw the amazing Cirque de Soleil in Vegas.<\/span><\/span>This unique artisan necklace came to be, after making some beads from some Mitered Corner Canes I made using bright Summery colors. It was surprising to see how many different beads resulted from the same set of polymer clay canes.<\/p>\n

Some of the beads had an Asian feel. Some had a funky modern style. And others seemed bohemian. But when I placed 3 of them onto the necklace with the front hanging hammered copper focal clasp, these beads ended up looking very circus’y<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Funny thing was that even the clasp ended up looking like a balloon, which was never the original intention!<\/p>\n

The total length of this one-of-a-kind necklace is 19 1\/2 inches (49.5cm) when stretched out, including the beads, clasp, hook and rubber cording. But it hangs more like a 17″ (43cm) choker when clasped.<\/p>\n

The unique copper findings including the dangles, the clasp and the cord ends were all handmade by me with the utmost love and attention. Three beautifully sanded and buffed polymer clay beads dangle from flame dipped headpins in the shapes of a lentil bead, round bead and a cube bead, ranging in size from 3\/4″ to 1″ across (15-24mm).<\/p>\n

Price: $45<\/strong><\/span> — If you are interested in purchasing the necklace shown in today’s post, then send me an email<\/a>. Be sure to include your full mailing address so I can work out the shipping cost for you.<\/td>\n
