I have made my first attempt making a flower cane without background. I used the famous
Play doh technique of Idit Zoota. It is an amazing technique. It's a bit demanding and, in my opinion, needs a bit more work than the normal canes but it is definitely worth it. But with a bit of practice i think you can create amazing canes without background. Here is what it turned out:
Unbaked flowers:
And...the multi flowered earrings. I must say that i am really happy with the result for my first try.
And a closer look:

Another biggie...
I have prepared another big bangle. It's really cool to make them, and you also get rid of all the scrap clay that you have. The kaleidoscope cane is inspired from Donna Kato's book "The Art of Polymer Clay Millefiori Techniques ". This book is a must have. I really love it.Here it is:

Correction for yesterday...
Well i didn't really like how i have build the jungle pendant, i found it too rigid with the semicircle plaque and i decided to split it. So i have a smaller jungle pendant now and something i call jungle plaque:)) or "the thing" i have no idea what to do with , yet:P

Unconventional stuff...
Well... the initial idea was not to create unconventional stuff but to create again some faux ivory/wood. But it it seems i was kinda head clouded and i failed it:D. So i had to do something to save the precious clay.:)) And this is how i ended up with...the "unconventional" pieces. I kinda like a bit how they turned out but not much...And the last ones NOT AT ALL . I will post the whole series anyway and keep the promise that i will post good and bad on this blog!:P Here they are the Unconventionals, Free Forms, The Fails!!!!!:))
I like the first there a bit and not so much the last two ones...but..this is how i saved the clay ;)
PS 1 I don't really like these ones!
PS 2 Also the pics are really bad
PS3 They are painted with acrilics

Finally some new stuff
After a looong time off, here i am back in business:)) I have new stuff on board and the main theme was the blue color as you will be able to see. The photo's background has been changed to gray so the pieces are more visible(the original was awful, it turned up like orange wood...bleah).Enough with the talks, here they are:
Very big blue bangle i call it...MY BLUES:))

Necklaces, Pendants, Earrings...and so on
Long time no posting, but today i will get even and i will post my latest designs, all at once. So no more talking for today i will just upload the pics immediately here we go!
This is before "ovening", i couldn't resist not to take a pic:
And here is what they turned into:D
(there is a bit of white on the beads because the back of the earrings is white;))
One thing you need to know is that they look much better in reality and especially when they are hanging on the ear or neck;):P

Pendant mania..?!??Definitely yes!!!;)
Well it seems that i like to make pendants because i keep on making and making them. This time flower pendants are the newest creations. I was so happy about the floral arrangement that i ended up with that i forgot about the pendant background:( On both pendants it was kinda failed. In the end i got the idea to use acrylics on the background and it fixed it a bit and they are "wearable" now:D!!! I tried to sand but because they are kinda 3D pendant it is very difficult to do it. Eventually i did some sanding using sandpaper glued on some ear sticks...and yes that is madness, but i still need to develop some method to finish up these kind of pieces nicely because i don't really like my stuff without the finish and i HATE the varnish that i currently have it gives a very ugly finish to the pieces. I still have the petal canes i used, so i think i will create more pendants but this time with a proper background and maybe some earrings to fit with the pendants;) Here they are:

So here they are(the greenies are kinda fail but they are for home;) wearing so ..it's fine;))

I am obsessed with it i kind wear it everywhere no matter if it suits my outfit or not:)).I am a maniac, maaniaac...well i forgot the song:D!! Here it is:

Necklace mania
I have new tools YYAAAYY...it's amazing to drill and buff with the dremel tool!!It is worth every penny:D. No more distortions, no more finger prints and the buffing is amazing. It shines better than the varnish and it is natural, i just love it. It takes some time to get used to it but with a little practice and some patience you can get wonderful results. The manual buffing has its own nice results and i will definitely use that again. The manual shine can give very nice effects, too. Of course it depends on what kind of finish you want to have on your jewelry. Some of them look better with a more opaque shine and some of them need a strong shine!!! But hey... enough with theory and let's see the results:D
Here are my first "dremmeled" beads and pendant:))
The pendant is also really shiny, but...not in this pic. Bad pic!!
And here is the finalized masterpiece:)).
