      <title>Polymer Clay Pendant Necklace, Red and Black Patterned Heart</title>
      <description>Handmade polymer clay heart pendant necklace, red and black pattern.
I have made this heart pendant from polymer clay using a technique called Mokume Gane.  It is made by layering two or more colours of polymer clay, in this case red, black and a slightly translucent dark pink.  A pattern is impressed into the clay then the clay is carefully sliced thinly which reveals the underneath colours and the impressed pattern.  A slice from the same pattern is applied to the back of the heart.
The heart measures approx 4cms/1.5inches long and the same across it's widest point.
It is topped with two Czech glass faceted rondelle beads, the larger red and the smaller black.
The heart hangs a total of 6cms/2.25inches from a black satin cord necklace.
The necklace measures approx 18.5inches/47cms and fastens with a sterling silver hook and loop clasp.

      <title>Earrings Red and Cream Polymer Clay</title>
      <description>Red and cream polymer clay earrings.
The square polymer clay beads measure 15x15cms (approx 1/2inch) and they hang 3cms (1-1/4inches) from antique brass leverback ear wires.

I have made the square beads from dark red polymer clay, to which I have applied a texture.  I have highlighted the texture with cream acrylic paint then applied a coat of varnish to seal and protect the surface.
The back of the squares is made from a marbled mix of black red and pink polymer clay.
The square polymer beads are topped by little semi precious mookaite beads and one Greek ceramic square washer bead.</description>

      <title>Pendant Necklace Polymer Clay Black and Multicoloured Stripes</title>
      <description>Polymer clay pendant necklace, black and multicoloured stripes.
This striking pendant is 4cms square (1.5inches) with a 2cm (1.25inch) circular hole in the centre.
I have made the pendant from polymer clay using a clay cane technique called a Stroppel cane which involves layering a plain colour with slices from clay canes.  In this case the alternate layers are black and the canes I used are multicoloured with predominantly blue, green and red patterns.
The pendant is attached to a cotton cord necklace using antique bronze wire and a blue and white ceramic bead.
The necklace measures approx 19inches/48cms and fastens with an antique brass toggle clasp.</description>

      <description>Round polymer clay earrings in black and multicolour stripes with ceramic beads.
These earrings hang 4cms (1.5inches) from antique brass leverback ear wires.

I have made the disk beads for the earrings from polymer clay using a cane technique called a Stroppel cane.  This is made by layering a plain colour, in this case black, with slices from polymer clay canes.  The canes I used for this were predominantly shades of blue, red and green.
Topping the polymer clay discs are blue and white ceramic beads and black faceted glass crystal beads.</description>

      <title>Polymer Clay Pendant Necklace, Textured Metallic Green</title>
      <description>Handmade polymer clay pendant.  I have made this pendant on a base of dark green polymer clay.  I have impressed a textured pattern into the clay which has then been highlighted with a metallic effect mica powder.  As well as this I emphasised the pattern by using white acrylic paint which has been applied then removed so just a little shows in the grooves of the texture. The pendant has then been sealed with a coat of varnish.
The pendant measures approx 2.5x1inch/6x3cms.   It hangs from a brown rubber cord necklace which is approx 18inches/45.5cms and fastens with a handmade hook and loop clasp which has been handmade from silver plated copper wire.
