new clay jewelry

necklace pieces

Here are some tiny clay flowers ready to be made into a necklace. I usually make all the pieces before assembling them. Lumina Clay works best for my jewelry because it’s flexible, waterproof, and becomes like plastic when dry. The clay only comes in transparent white, which is great because I like to have complete control over the color scheme. Acrylic paint mixes in nicely and creates vibrant colors. Here’s a closeup of the finished product:

The leaves are imprints of actual leaves, in this case, from a climbing fig. The fig leaves work well because they have very defined veins.

This necklace was great fun to make. The color palate includes some of my favorite colors.
