Polymeristas for the Month of July

Yeh!! I was chosen again :)

For my Butterfly wing necklace, in the category of beginner -

Integration of theme and treatment is what makes this gentle and delicate piece so successful. Beyond the obvious depiction of butterfly wings in the cane work, the spare use of material - mostly whites and translucents - evokes both lightness and fragility. Most effectively, the repetitive wing motif on either side of the focal bead suggests a butterfly in mid-flight, giving the piece fluidity and movement.

Oh and don't forget to go visit the winners of the other categories :)

Alice

Yesterday I taught my first polymer clay class - everyone just loved it and had a great time!

I decided to start with something easy - polymer clay transfer pendants :) 

Should have put them up here earlier really - I have quite a few but here is some of my work - enjoy:)

Peace and Luv cuff

I've finished !!!LOL

I finished my challenge piece!!!

love it - is a bit bulky though and for those that are doing one as well, leave extra length as it shrinks a bit ( mine shrank almost 2cm)

It is based on the technique shown in Bead and Button June 2010 issue: Arctic cuff By Heidi Kummli

Steampunk

I have made this beautiful focal for a steampunk challenge on the beading forum.

I love this piece and must get around to turning it into a necklace very soon. 

Made of premo polymer clay, and watch parts.

Isis Necklace tutorial available!!

Almost forgot about this one as I went on holidays and didn't want to put it up before I went!

An Egyptian style necklace using gemstones cubes and glass beads. Make your own one of a kind creation!

Suitable for beginners to intermediate, this necklace is easy to complete and is guaranteed to attract attention.

Isis Necklace now available in my etsy store.

Isis Necklace

More polymer :)

Yes more!! I love this medium.

These are made with the left over mokume gane (sp?) but I just love the bangle - definitely not a left over!!

Butterfly wings

I have been busy baking and creating with my newest love - polymer clay - and am quite happy with the results :)

These items are from my first ever butterfly cane, which I made without any tutorial, I love the translucency the wings have from the premo frost and think I will be using a lot more of this in the future!!

Easy bead and wire ring

Just found this tutorial while looking for something totally different (of course) but thought I would share :)

Gane necklace

I made this about a month ago, but I thought I would share ( you know me and taking pictures...)

This is polymer clay, mokume gane technique, finished with brass components.

Oh and its reversible, the back is a black swirl texture and looks good as well :)

Love the necklace !!! Some inspiration here for all!!

Wirework necklace and earrings

This was the "challenge" for the Brisbane beading meet and was from a tutorial in last years Art jewelry Mag - " mastering wirework".

I love the pieces, but think I need a bit more practice on keeping it perfect!!! LOL

Isis

These are my new "Isis" Necklace's

Made of cube beads, seed beads, gemstones and czech glass, stitched mostly in herringbone.

These will be a class at Mad Monnies very soon !!

Another fishy

I made this one a while back but was never happy with the clasp I made - I changed it this weekend to a brass one that I made myself - so it would look a bit like a fish hook...

This is a lovely bright bracelet made with seed beads and Czech crystals and a beautiful handmade bead by Debbie does Beads , using peyote and brick stitch. I have made some earrings as well but forgot to photograph them of course LOL

I've been featured on Voila!

So excited!!!

Just received a newsletter from Voila and saw my "the eyes have it" literally staring back at me:)

I love her commentary as well -


"The Eyes Have It"

by Sandee Harris, Australia


Jewellery is meant to be looked at; contemplated, admired. When jewellery stares back at you, interrogates you, you can't help but feel the table turning … “What am I?” I found myself asking. “An ornament? A mere accessory for the piece itself? I loved the role reversal. It made me think. It made me feel. It was delightful. Just like a Magritte moment.

Pop on over to http://www.voila.eu.com/  Some beautiful work and lots of inspiration there :)
