Mokume Gane wrapped in Sterling

This is a pretty pendant that I made with polymer clay using a mokume gane technique.  Layers of clay are imprinted and manipulated and then slices are taken to get these great designs in the clay.  After curing the clay, much sanding, and a resin coating, I then made a sterling silver frame and wrapped the clay piece with finer sterling silver wire.  I accented the clay piece with gun metal grey hematite stones.  I like the shape and colors of this piece and I think the piece is rather unique.  The next decision is whether to oxidize the silver, but, I like the way it looks now.  So I might leave it alone.  I still need to create the necklace yet. 

Violet Polymer Clay Earrings

I have made these pretty earrings with polymer clay canes, glass pearls and sterling silver.  They are now available for purchase.  Check out my Etsy listings (see below) or my website http://www.bodyice.net/ while they are still available for purchase. 

Posting New Pieces

I finally completed all of the tax returns I had to do and today I am working on getting some of my newest pieces listed on my website's shop at http://www.bodyice.net/.  I have also decided to list a few pieces on Etsy, just for some extra exposure.  Our Etsy shop still exists at  http://www.bodyice.etsy.com/.

I have been busy exploring new jewelry techniques and have not spent much time promoting my pieces for sale.   This is not my favorite thing to do as I am a jewelry artist and not a website designer.  I am sure many other artists feel the same way.  However, one could continue to create beautiful works of art, but nobody would enjoy them if the artist didn't display his or her work for public viewing.   I need to get my work out there for you all to see.  And, besides, I also need to support my passion.  So, check out my website to see all of our available pieces for sale.  I appreciate your taking the time to join me here at this blog.
