Polymer
Clay Art Necklaces
Art Nouveau
I just love this
style of art and wanted to make something really curvacious so I started with
an armature of 16 gage sterling silver wire with leaves flowing gracefully
up the wire and a large long petalled flower and bud, studded with freshwater
pearls. The center of the flower is a large faceted Amethyst, while the leaf
on the right has a stem of tiny glass beads and it comes with a 16 1/2'' silver
chain.
I was also inspired by the clay work of Christi Friesen.
Size: 3'' x 2''
Price: £55 ($81)



Woodland
I really enjoyed
making this necklace. I set the clay leaves on a copper armature and added
flowers with tiny crystal centers. The pond is a piece of agate encased in
a clay setting, I think the flowers set it off well as it looked too bare
without them. The large rectangular stone is a piece of Australian Rainforest
Jasper as the colours work so well. I added lots of glass beads, Rainforest
Jasper rounds, the dangly leaf on the left is Tigereye. I added lots of copper
beads in different shapes including a little copper butterfly. The chains
are a warm coloured vintage brass. It's fastened with a copper toggle clasp.
Length: 22
1/2''

A sterling silver

the hand made floral lampwork beads were made by a young lady from the USA,
silver tube and other beads and Swarovski crystals and finished with a silver
chain.
Length: 17 1/2''
Price: £65 ($96)

Pandora
necklace
Inspired by the
film and book Avatar, I was intrigued by the colours of the flora and fauna,
so this is my vision translated into a necklace. The creatures and plants were
sculpted by me in Premo clay, which glows with iridescence from the mica powders
I used, which is not easy to photograph to show its beauty. I linked everything
together with many different gemstones, crystal, glass and pearl beads.
Length: 24''
Price: £110 ($161)
Pandora
Floating in the Moonlight
Hand shaped Premo
Clay pendant with solid bronze. The floating mountains I sculpted and inset
tiny Swarovski crystals as well as the bronze vines that join them.
It would look great as part of a necklace or on a cord or chain, as a pendant
in your own design, or we can supply a brass or 14kgf chain or a cord at an
extra cost.
Size: 2 1/2'' x 2 3/4'' to the top of the loop
Price: £35 ($52)
Pandora's
cliffs
Inspired by interesting
formations. I added a tree which has rooted itself on top of a cliff while the
branches weep down among the leaves. I set tiny Swarovski crystals, the colours
are iridescent with mica powders. This could be added to a necklace or you could
add wire through the horizontal beading holes and add a cord or chain. Or we
can do this for you at an extra cost.
Size: 2 1/2'' x 1 1/2''
Price: £30 ($45)
I love the
richness of fall colours. Different shapes of coppery coloured leaves have
been tinted with mica powders to give an amazing glow like heated copper metal.
I have set two faceted ovals of Citrine between the leaves. Hole for stringing
horizontally across the top.
Size: 1 1/2'' x 1 1/4''
Price: £10 ($16)
Blue lilys
Another pendant
this time with blue lilys in an armature of solid bronze , the loop at the
bottom has been left for you to add something or leave as it is , let us know
if you would like a cord or chain added for a small extra cost.
Size: 1 3/4'' x 2 1/2'' from top to bottom loop
Price: £25 ($38)
Three cabochons
of Aventurine are set between the leaves of this delightful hand shaped pendant.
This is a unique and eyecatching piece. The leaves have been tinted with gold
and bronze mica powders for a lovely light catching effect. It has a stringing
loop on the back.
