I made a set of six polymer clay necklaces for a bride. She wanted peacock colors to match the color of her bridesmaids' dresses. I also made a slightly smaller one for her flower girl.
This is another image....I was getting creative with my photographs! lol
Wet-felted necklace using shibori techniques for texture. I experimented with binding coins into the wool, instead of pebbles, in order to get this flatter, scalier texture. The result reminded me of the scales of a fish.
I later embellished each scale with beadwork and added a hand-felted flower.

This necklace features some of my favourite design motifs, made with a few of the different patterning techniques I've developed in my studio. I was looking to explore the illusory possibilities of polymer clay, in a strand of domed beads.
Bullseyes are a motif I've been using in my work for a long time. They first appeared in canework, as simple graphic components in early millefiori beads. When mica clay came along, bullseyes were a big part of my exploration of Texture Without Texture, appearing as ‘holographic’ illusions in veneers that were actually perfectly smooth. My Nine of Hearts necklace shows other examples.
When I made this necklace, I’d been experimenting a lot with Skinner Blends, looking for another way to create bullseyes in veneers that were flat but looked three-dimensional. Extrapolating on traditional millefiori techniques, I developed what I call my Dimensional Canework, creating the illusion of ridges and valleys through a more illustrated trompe de l'oeil approach. This dimensional effect was inspired by beads that Pier Voulkos had made years earlier that featured little canework bumps with highlights and shadows, where carefully placed changes in value gave each piece an implied light source, and the illusion of depth. I had always really liked these beads, and I enjoyed putting my own spin on the concept.
To create the illusion of dimension in this necklace the imaginary 'light source' illuminating each Dimensional Bead needed to come from the same direction. Once I’d decided on the order of the beads, each one was rotated to communicate its proper position relative to the implied light source (coming from the top left) and the holes were drilled accordingly.
As is typical for me, I spent a lot of time developing the colour palette. For this necklace, I used one of my favorites: analogous complementary. I mixed the blues and greens in a wide range of hues, shades, and tints, in both metallic (mica) and opaque clays, then added some orange as an accent. I think this complementary hue really brought the strand to life.
This necklace is featured in the book Polymer Clay Color Inspirations by Maggie Maggio and Lindly Haunani, and in Masters: Polymer Clay: Major Works by Leading Artists, a book curated by Rachel Carren.

As the flowers begin to wither, the rich colors of Summer are clouded by the grey misty mornings. This necklace is trying to capture this moment, when the warmth of Summer make way to clouds and cold wind.
This delicate necklace is made of a central fuscia cabochon, circled with fuschia Swarovski crystals and Swarovski pink and olive pearls. The centerpiece is laid over a delicate netted necklace made of charcoal and pink beads. As all my works, this necklace is delicate, elegant and outstanding.
This necklace has been created for the Etsy Beadweaver's (EBW) Beadweaving August Challenge. The theme of this month's challenge is "Indian Summer".

The length of the necklace is approximately 20.1" (51 cm). The diameter of the center piece is a approximately 2.4" (6 cm).
The necklace is unique, one of a kind and handmade.
A trio of polymer clay necklaces for a custom order. Powdered pigments were applied to the clay before curing. They have a beautiful luster that is difficult to photograph! There are also sparkly Swarovski crystals in purple, gold, teal and green.
Another version of my tatted necklace design which is featured in March/April 2008 "Belle Armoire" magazine.

This necklace was created using an orange peel silkscreen pattern from Moiko. After applying the silkscreen using different acrylic colors, square shaped pieces of the silkscreen pattern were combined.
Für diese Kette habe ich ein "Orange Peel" Silkscreen Muster von Moiko in verschiedenen Acrylfarben verwendet. Quadratische Claystücke wurden anschliessend zusammen gefügt.
I used inks to recreate a classic. I hope you like it! This is a detailed picture of the full necklace.
Made from my first complex cane. Beads made from leftover green ( 5 of them) into impromptu skinner blend. For the PGAGOE February Challenge
