Polymer Clay Extravaganza

So I have been making more bangels that look like dragonskin. Once I have about ten completed I will start posting them on my etsy page. I love going to the store and seeing all the colors of the clay on the shelves and seeing how they can compliment one another. I recently tried using a rubber stamp on some clay to make an impression. It was an intersting try and will have to figure out a different way to more easily see the stamp once its baked.

Here is a preview of my dragonskin bracelets.

The black and white one glows in the dark, but unfortunately it broke in half :(. I am going to have to make it thicker so as not to have that problem again.

Thats all for now. Check back later for more updates!

Silicone Jewelry Finds

So I am trying to get the hang of this blogging thing lol. I am planning on making a weekly blog post with fun things I have found around etsy. This weeks post is on silicone jewelry. Weird right? When I think about silicone, I think about molds and rubbermaid tupperware lol. Well here is what I found.

Have you noticed all the food jewelry out there on the market? If you have traveled around Etsy at all you will see tons of it. Here is an interesting one:

Thats all for now, I do have to say in my search for silicone jewelry most of it was pendants on silicone cords. Look around, I bet you will find something that fits your need!
