Amber Earrings

Another pair of copper earrings - now with Baltic amber

75mm (almost 3 inches) long, 20USD
Не удержалась, - сделала еще одну пару медных сережек. Но уже с янтарем. Уж очень красивое сочетание.
На удивление, что эта пара, что предыдущая, не самые легкие такие серьги, но уши от них почему-то не устают. Носила вчера на радостях целый вечер, даже забыла, что в сережках, хотя они почти до плеч достают. Длинненькие такие, 7.5 см от носа до хвоста.

Switch Plates - part 2. Clay imitation.

In one home decor magazine I saw a beautiful clay plate!
Couldn't resist the urge to replicate it on polymer clay switch plates!

Polymer clay, oil paint, switch plates base

My plates and the magazine with the original plate as a photo background.
I wish one day I could make something like this but with my own design...:)

Gun Metal Music Bangle

I just love to wear this bangle bracelet!

Thick bass-guitar string of old friend of mine, gun metal wire and some of my polymer clay trade beads imitation. This bracelet has it's own power and is very special for me.

Gettin' ready for Winter!:)
Thanks a lot to

njadean, the Australian artist, who's works have inspired me!
I'm so happy I had a courage to repeat her unique technique with felted wire!
This is my favorite Green Pin (pendant)

hand polished Baltic amber, wool, copper wire and beads

( another one )

I also tried to make some freeform bracelets in this technique
( take a look at my first funny attempts )

Sure I will repeat and master this wonderful technique again and again!

Almonds

I think my new beads look more like peach pits but I call them almonds anyway:)
And here is the "bracklace" or "necklet", a bracelet-necklace piece of jewelry.

Polymer clay beads, copper beads and wire, adjustable leather cord (40-60 cm)
Bracelet size - for 6-7 inches wrist

45 USD

Last year I saw the idea of combining bracelet with necklace in one using a chain on some site and really loved it. Now I finally have made something like this. Really smart design;) Definitely will do more.
