Polymer Clay Floral Pendants

I'm up bright and early waiting for the roofer to appear. It's only 8 o'clock .... surely they will show by 9.

In the mean time I want to show you a couple pendants I made over the weekend. I like fans so I made a blue flower fan with a flower texture sheet and PearlEx powder sealed with Kato liquid clay. I added blue colored wire adorned with a tinted fresh water pearl for the tail and also on the bail.

The second is another floral design highlighted with gold and red PearlEx, The cut out is filled with tinted freshwater pearls on twisted burgundy colored wire. I made the bail with coiled wire and a couple fancy goldtone beads. I get a big kick out of using my heat gun on the liquid clay, it's fun to watch it go from cloudy to a glass like sheen.
Oh, I almost forgot, I gave my blog a new look.... what do you think?

Polymer Clay Texture Sheets

I received my new texture sheets from Victoria James a couple days ago and I love'em!! They are an absolute delight to use. I made sheets from which I plan to cut different shapes to use for jewelry.

The texture sheets are made of silicone which is very flexible. They are thin so they go through the pasta machine with ease and they do not need a resist, how cool is that? The patterns are nice and deep so they should be good for mica shift too.

This leaf design is very pretty. I used different colors of PearlEx to highlight the raised area.

This is a dainty design of foliage and flowers. I highlighted with bronze PearlEx.I think this design has an Aztec element, don't you? Skinner blended clay with silver PearlEx highlights

This is a wonderful paisley design... I love paisley. I highlighted this one with Pearl PearlEx & Green PearlEx. Victoria has more patterns... after playing with these I was tempted to scamper over to her site Victoria James Art and buy more but I restrained myself for now.
