I worked with polymer clay all last week and not all of my efforts were successful, but I did make this piece that I am happy with...
DH was diligent with the camera and finally got a picture that shows the layers of this piece. I made the disc out of black clay, distressed it and aged it with red, green and yellow acrylic paint. I then coated it with Kato liquid clay and used the heat gun to bring it to a shine and then I applied metallic foil film (3 different foils) to the warm clay and gave a quick pull on the film, for the metallic effects you see here. The center piece of silver colored polymer clay was done using the foil also. The stone in the middle is actually a dark green glass nugget from my mosaic supplies. I attached a purchased silver bail and leather strip and there you have it.
So, it's a new day. A day to do whatever you have been postponing. A day to break a bad habit. A day to do art. A day to love.
Even if you don't use it "wisely", it is still a new day and guess what??? You get it every day. There's no wonder I love life.

You are a very talented artist. I only wish I had the time to create something on a regular basis.
That is so pretty
What a beautiful pendant! You've really got a gift for working with polymer clay! Your husband did a terrific job with the photography, too.
"New day" seems to be the theme of quite a few blogs today. (Mine, too!) I hope you have/had a great one. Angela

Great message! I love your pendant.
This is really beautiful. I love the metallic layers, Susan.
I hope you had a wonderful Easter. I also just read the post with the picture of your goodie box. I am so glad you liked everything. It is also neat to see how you use the clay. I never made any jewelry with the clay, just ornaments, and figurines.
I will talk to you more soon. Lots to do after being gone for 4 days.
xxx!
Thats really beautiful! So metallic looking!
Beautiful! A piece you can wear with almost anything.
I love your radiant outlook on life and I totally agree with you. Life is a gift and we are sooooo blessed. Your pendant is gorgeous. I can't imagine what it must be like to be able to fashion such a thing.
Happy day to you!
This piece is GORGEOUS!! I love it!
