New project! Hurrah! Actually it's an idea I've had cooking in my imagination for a long time.
When I was a teenager, my mother gave me her sterling sliver charm bracelet. Talk about vintage!! I haven't worn it for years. Last year I decided to try and design a necklace for her, integrating the bracelet into the piece.
Lately I've seen several polymer clay artists using translucent clay and achieving really interesting effects. So, I decided to try my hand at it.
The beads I did today started with translucent Pardo Professional Art Clay and Stamperia alcohol inks. I am pretty happy with the results so far. However, the sapphire ink was way to saturated for the green I was trying to create. I will try for a more olive green tomorrow.
Now, to try "sanding" them all in my tumbler!
Those are so much fun! I love the colors. I bet they will make a beautiful necklace for your mom.
