This necklace combines two of my favorite things you can do with polymer clay: an ombré blend and great texture.
The result does NOT look like a bunch of colorful potato chips, but instead is rather funky and elegant. 😀
As I show in the video, the look is a bit different without the seed beads between each disc. You decide which you prefer.
As promised, the first in the list below is the link to my video on making clay blends. The rest are some links to free classes at CraftArtEdu on how to make and manipulate polymer clay blends.

I love the colors! Very interesting how you textured the discs, too.
