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…
Although I’ve been making molds with silicone putty for quite some time I always thought that making two-part molds was difficult and scary. However, I learned there really are just two simple things that you need to do differently than one-part molds…
Here’s yet another surface effect for you that can be used in so many different ways. Today I used mica powders but I also experimented with embossing powders, which have a quite different look (more like ceramics) but are a little trickier to…

You may have noticed that I adore interesting surface effects. And I haven’t found any effects much more interesting than what Pebeo Fantasy paints can do! After playing with these paints and admiring their organic end results, I decided they needed to be…
