Hi friends,
                   How have you all been? I had taken a break from designing for a couple of months. Now am back :)
                   So, about a year and a half back someone had gifted me a couple of blocks of polymer clay that they had bought from the USA. Having never used the material before (it was not available in India yet or I had no clue ha ha..), and having absolutely no idea how to go about it, I started researching on the internet.
                   After lots of experimenting, research and learning from mistakes I believe I've got the hang of it. I guess, my experience with terracotta jewelry making helped.
                   Here are a few of the first few things I made. These are the first few of my experiments that went well.
                   The first picture is of a series of various techniques I tried out, which I've made into stud earrings (yet to attach stud base).

Mokume Gane Technique trials..

Canes and their expansion trials;)

I was playing around with applique technique on a sheet of clay which I then cut up into shapes and turned into ring and pendant. The blue colour is acrylic pearl metallic paint.

So.. let me know what you think. I'll be posting pictures showing the progression of my work and experiments.. Keep smiling.
