This weekend was the Southern Connecticut Polymer Clay Guild (SCPCG) Weekend of Clay. One of the presenters was Pavla Čepelíkova. She has some excellent ideas for creating your own texture plates, and led us through the process of making some designs similar to patterns you might find on a frog. When she showed us photos of frogs from all over the world, it became obvious that the colors and patterns were much more varied and interesting than we had orginally expected. I made some texture plates and created a brooch and a pendant. Neither is completely finished, but I thought I'd share. The green piece will be a brooch. I experimented with layering patterns over one another, so it has a different look.
The photos below show a multi-piece pendant. The first 2 photos show side 1 and side 2. The third image shows some of the pieces flipped. Each of the sections rotates, so the user can vary the look. I like the way the patterns and colors seem to complement each other, and I think this will be fun to wear.
