Fabulous Fabiola Perez Ajates

Fabiola Perez Ajates was another one of the wonderful instructors at Clay Back East 2019. I totally enjoyed Fabiola's class. Her manner was light and fun, and her love of creating and sharing her ideas was obvious.
Fabiola demonstrated several of her techniques for decorating polymer clay and creating interesting patterns and designs. She also generously shared with us many of the shape templates she uses to create her jewelry.   She explained that she bases her pieces on a 27 color palette she has developed. This is one reason why her work always seems so harmonious.  I loved the colors she had us all using:  an aqua green, a rosey red, white, and black.

 The photo here shows three pendants I created using her concepts.  I'm eager to develop a palette of my own to use in this way.  Her work is lovely!

Fun Summer Earrings

Here are some light, swingy earrings I made for summertime.

I used relatively thick strips of polymer, with swirls of color.   I had tried something like this about a year ago, but used clay that was too thin. I think the only clay you can really roll thin and still have it stand up to use is Kato.









These are all made from Premo!.  On the blue/green and pink pairs, the two shapes move separately.  The addition of Swarovski crystals mounted via head pins with small end balls added some bling.
