Magnetized bangles

[Joe Kingthethird]

Redyellowblue bangle and double helix impress (yet to Sgraffito it)

[Alan]

More great designs, Joe!  Magnetic clasps too?

[Carrie]

You're on a roll!

[Joe Kingthethird]

Gleam gold textured deep purple bangle - a favourite colour combination.

[Alan]

Love that, Joe!  Purple/lilac/violet are my favourite colours and the purple and antique gold look great together.

They are all so cool

You could make interchangeable sections too, that would be fun

My latest.  A pendant and earring set using the reptile/peacock pattern polymer clay.

Waste not want not, and what a result!  Brilliant, Alan!

What a good idea, Emma!

[Alan]

Thank you, Carrie!    I try not to waste anything - even if it's just making a small bead from the odd bits are left - as it may come in useful for a later project.  Don't you just love polymer clay?

I very much admire this approach.  Unfortunately, my suspected ADHD means that I get distracted before I've finished using even the whole of a veneer I've made, never mind any scraps from the actual items.

So I am challenging myself to make a sheet and use THE WHOLE thing.  Will let you know how I get on

[Alan]

I'll look forward to how you get on, Millie.  Maybe I'm just miserly.   I dropped a big ball of clay in a pot of white spirit this week.  Very sticky and messy.  Anyway, I rinsed it and put it in kitchen towel to dry off a bit.  I can't use it for making jewellery in case it starts to go mushy in a month or two.  But I can't bear to throw it in the bin - so I'll form it into a brush and tool rest.  How sad is that?

Nice work!

The pendant is very nice
