More Geometry!

A little while ago I shared this tutorial with you and boasted about how I was all ready to jump on the trend train and get going on my own version of the geometric pendant:


Well unlike most of the projects I never manage to find time for and seem to disappear on my never ending crafts I want to do list, I actually got around to trying this one out! And, just as I promised, I skipped the glitter and painted each side of my creation for a bright springy fun take on the project! Take a looksie:


Ah! I am in love with this necklace! I just adore how the colour combination turned out and how neat it looks at every angle. It's even reversible since I painted the other side with more shades of teal and blue (no red, pink, and gold) for a more subtle accessory day! Hooray! I bought the chain off etsy (during a supply restock shop) since I wanted to be able to alter the length easily but I am enjoying the 24" size for this piece. Yay! Like most projects I start, I decided to make the polymer clay geometric jewelry in mass and ended up with two necklaces and two rings:


Fun! Although it wasn't really intentional, each piece is a little bit different since I randomly sliced off chunks of clay to form the shapes. I mixed all of the paint colours up from my scattered collection of acrylic paint tubes (I do love my colour mixing) and used the same shades for each geometric bit. Much like my geometric brooch I made a few days ago for brooch week, I stuck to a neutral gray/blue/silver base with a few contrasting sides thrown in there for a little pop and interest. Check out that pink and red from the side angle:


What a super project that was! I had so much fun playing with polymer clay again and making these and I'm just thrilled to be able to share a finished project with all of you! So - I'm dying to know...what do you think?

  1. Very Nice! I like the color much better and I like the angles you cut as well. Plus, way to go finishing a project:-)

  2. Very cute. Maybe I'll even give this one a try. Now if only I could find my giant shoe box of sculpey...

  4. I like them. What about an imprinted variation...if you had lace imprinted into the sculpey, with maybe a circular drop rather than sharp angles... Wait, that was completely NOT the project. BUT you could use the lace imprint as the top shell of an acorn!

  9. They look great! I tried to give it a go, but my knife was not sharp enough and I sqished them a lot >_< But I will get a sharper knife and try again because now you have made me want them even more! ^_^
