Polymer Clay Scrap Jewelry

Some time ago  Moe shared photos of jewelry she made with "Kathi scraps". It was very pretty jewelry I was envious and I expressed a wish for my very own Kathi scraps..... so of course Kathi took pity on me, granted my wish and sent me some very cool "Kathi scraps".

I love scraps, I like my own scraps and I've discovered I like other folks scraps even more.  Maybe one of these days we should have a "scraps" swap.... or even better,  everyone could just send me their scraps.

Here is what I've made so far.

Click on the photos for a closer look.

Kathi likes bright colors so her scraps are wonderful.... the first pieces I made have an Art Deco look. I backed them with textured black clay painted with gold PearlEx powder.



"Fruit Salad" pendant ... this one is a work in progress, I haven't backed it yet. I love the colors. 




More mirror image pendants in bight bold colors. I twisted the top of the one on the left, coiled it into a knot and added a Swarovski rhinestone in the center of the coil.


A couple more mirror image pendants, the designs are a little more intricate on these.  I still need to sand and buff. ... and add bails.


That's it for today. I have more in the oven with a totally different look.  

Thanks for stopping by.... and thanks to Kathi for the Fabulous scraps!!
