Chunky Necklaces

I love making these chunky necklaces.  It seems the sky-is-the-limit when I'm creating these beauties.

I sold the first tan and green necklace, but I made a second similar one which I've just listed on my Etsy shop along with another necklace in purples and greys with a touch of hot pink.

I have all different color combinations running through the brain for future necklaces.  Keeps me up at night to the point where I can't get to sleep 'til the wee  hours.  I guess other crafters and artists have the same problem.

Another New Necklace

This necklace was inspired by Ronna Weltman's book "Ancient Modern".  It is very chunky and all the beads are hand made by me.  The beads are attached to a copper chain and toggle clasp in the back.

This was a lot of fun to make as every bead is different and has a lot of texture.  Your imagination knows no bounds once you get started with this necklace.

This necklace is available at my etsy shop:

Busy Working With Polymer Clay

Have really been concentrating on polymer clay jewelry for my second etsy shop, "Polymer Panache". http://www.etsy.com/shop/polymerpanache

Here is a necklace and earrings set I've just finished and posted in my etsy shop.  I call them Red Hot Faux Lava.  They have a lot of texture and are a real lipstick red with silver spacer beads.

New Single Strand Pinch Petal Necklaces

After much debate I decided that I couldn't put up the double strand pinch petal necklace for sale at the price I felt it deserved.  There is a lot of work in creating that necklace.  So I took them apart and am now listing them in my Etsy shop (Polymer Panache) as two separate single strand necklaces, one in aqua and the other in coral.  And some women might not want such an elaborate style.

They still are very pretty necklaces even though they are single strand.

New Tropical Necklace - Polymer Clay

Have been working on a beautiful necklace inspired by Maggie Maggio and Lindly Haunani's new book:  Polymer Clay Color Inspirations. It's not in my Polymer Panache Etsy Shop as yet.  Waiting for a Sterling Clasp I ordered.

 The necklace took many hours to complete.  All those little flower petals to cut and bake.

Fraidy Cat Creations: I Love My Cat Pendant polymer clay

Fraidy Cat Creations: I Love My Cat Pendant polymer clay

I Love My Cat Pendant polymer clay

I've just finished working on a pendant for cat lovers.  This pendant of polymer clay says I (heart) My Cat and is framed in a soft green clay.  I added several small flowers and leaves.  The back is gold clay.

I hope some cat lovers will take a look at this adoreable pendant. http://www.fraidycatcreations.etsy.com

A little cat's eye bead dangles from the bottom of the pendant.

Cleopatra style necklace in gold polymer clay.

Here is a new necklace I've just completed for my new Etsy shop: Polymer Panache.  This one took several hours to complete but I like the way it turned out.  It has lots of texture and a nice shine.

And it has a pretty antique gold metal leaf clasp.

My New Second Etsy Shop

I haven't blogged lately due to making jewelry with a different look and starting up a new Etsy Shop to feature it.  My new shop is called Polymer Panache.  

http://www.etsy.com/shop/PolymerPanache?ref=top_trail

I'm planning to create more jewelry with polymer clay and I've already posted a few of the new designs.  Of course, I will also be using some crystals and glass beads (love the glitter of crystals and glass) and have put a few of these up on the new shop too.  Some of these are made with black velvet beads as well.  Striking effect.

I'm aiming for a more dramatic effect in the necklaces I make.  Styles that women who want something different and who have the confidence to wear unusual styles will appreciate.

Here are a few of the new pieces.

Polymer clay textured blue and purple flat beads with an irridescent finish.

Polymer clay can be made to look at so many other materials.  This black necklace looks like black lava and the copper beads are also polymer clay dusted with copper powder and given a protective finish.

These black and white polymer clay beads are stylized, heavily textured leaves and red ceramic berries as accents.

 

New Widget

Just picked up this new "widget" from Craft Cult.  It's really neat.  You can see it on the upper right corner of this blog page.  It shows every jewelry item in my Etsy shop in a slide show fashion together with the description of the piece and the price.  Plus you can click on the "BUY" button when you see something you like and it will bring you to that item in my shop.  And it was really easy to install too.

Another Talented Artist on Etsy

I'm always amazed at all the talented artists on Etsy.

Here's another artist who creates adorable pins and other items.  Some are great for Halloween.

Blueberry Dogs - Another Etsy Artist Creating Adorable Art

Blueberry Dogs, NANCY RODGER In a Nutshell:

I started creating things at a very young age. Mostly, 2 dimensional, then I got into weaving, painting, photography and basically my life has revolved around artistic “creation”. I spend many hours on the computer making websites and digital magic for those who don’t have the time or inclination but need to have a presence on the web.

I think of myself as having many styles of painting. I have enjoyed painting from real life as well as my imagination. One being a way to challenge the hand eye brain coordination and the other using the same elements but looking within to let loose an idea.

 More of this artist's work can be seen on her etsy shop.

New Memory Wire Necklaces

I'm hooked on memory wire.  These necklaces are so easy to get on and off -- no clasps to bother with -- and they're so light weight you won't know you have one on.

I'll be listing these on my Etsy shop this coming week.

 

 

 

I'll be posting more this coming week.
