This is my first attempt at wire wrapping. I realized that polymer clay is a wonderful medium to combine with wire wrapping. When working with beads, you are limited by the location of the existing holes, while PC and wire can be connected at any point. This necklace combines my two main techniques ...

This is what I've been learning lately, the art of cloisonne enamel. Here where I live they have been doing it for centuries. All started as religious icons, but today they also make fashion and decorative pieces. The divider walls are 1mm high and 0.08 mm wide made of fine silver not to alter the...

They were really challenging because of those lines that flow from one bead to another and have to match perfectly. Other beads are fresh-water...

I made these set of beads earlier this year (polymer clay, faux cloisonne). Recently they caught my eye, and I made them into a necklace and earrings set. The white and purple glass beads in the necklace and earrings are really cool - they glow in the dark! Other beads: glass, fresh-water pearls, sterling...
