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!

Having fun with Polymer Clay!

I recently started playing with clay to make beads for my jewelry. I began looking around stumble upon, tumble, etsy, and various google search webpages, and i found more and more fake/faux gauges. I have found a few tutorials on youtube and various websites and they looked really easy to make. Some people carve them out of wood, bone, or plastic, while others hand make them with polyclay. I am going to try my hand at this and post updates of my work as it progresses. If you have no idea what I am talking about take a look at these photos I found around etsy:

Sorry for the random listing with the links, I was unable to insert their picture URL :(

I also found on Etsy that noone in Oklahoma City is making these items. I better get right on that! Check out my etsy shop as well!
