This bracelet combines several of my favorite things about polymer clay jewelry: texture, surface effects and a multitude of dangles.
The texture comes from creation; I made two-part molds of three collected seashells. I also used a Sculpey mold to make small scallop shells and starfish.
The surface effects are from Perfect Pearls and iridescent paints. I love how these bring the whole piece together.
I’ve been wearing this piece today and think a few Swarovski crystal dangles would not go amiss, either. More glitter and sparkle? Why not?! 😀
There are so many directions you can go with this idea. How about making molds of favorite kids toys, charms, keys or other special objects?
If you don’t know how to make two-part molds, check out my Friday Findings-Making Two-Part Molds video to learn the process. It’s easier than you might think.
