Summer Colors with a Hint of Glam

Here is a great little necklace that will work perfectly for summer - and take you right into fall.  The graceful teardrop beads have a flat black backing.  The tops of the beads catch the eye with various shades of purple and aqua, overlain with shapes of gold-leaf composite.  A final coating of Magic Gloss resin makes a strong, glossy surface, that will reflect sunlight and lamplight equally. Swarovski glass pearls in a complimentary gold finish pull everything together. The clasp is gold-filled with magnets, designed to be secure, while allowing for easy on and off.

More Dots & Lines

As I mentioned in an earlier posting, I have recently started experimenting with some of the uses of Sculpey liquid polymer. Although I've only used white and black, this product now comes in many colors.  It has a density that allows it to hold a certain amount of dimension when baked.





 Here are a few more pieces I've made in the dots and lines motif.  I used the flat (non-blade) edge of a tissue blade to make the lines, and a narrow head pin for the dots. The lines and dots feel raised when a finger is drawn across the surface.
