Summer's here, I can feel it
Because it is terribly hot and sticky where I live, it's a bit of a chore to work with polymer clay. But the sunny weather inspired me to make something summery. I am a huge fan of Christi Friesen and Jennifer Morris, and this is inspired by the applique/sculptural technique they are well-known for. I tried to put my own "voice" through my use of shape, color, and layering, and was careful not to copy.
I remember creating a similar collection a few years back, incorporating tiny little roses, tulips, and vines. Here's a look back on some of those pendants from 2008.
I hope to make better versions of these this year. As you can see, my roses were a bit squished back then. I make better roses now. Teehee.
And oh, in case I haven't mentioned yet, I'm joining the Rockwell Urban Bazaar on March 12-14. I hope to see you there!

I am in the process of designing a paisley cane to decorate a present for my sister in law (cake forks) and was planning on using some complex shapes. I might just use lots of more simple shapes insead having seen yours. Instead of complex flowers and bumpy leaves I might use some jelly rolls and simple leaves. Will have to play.
