The Water Princess Necklace

Hello my sweet honey bunnies and welcome to my blog on this lovely sunny Monday day!

Today I would like to finally release some pictures of my ""Water Princess" necklace. I know you were all waiting for it for the whole week. 

This is a preview of original necklace that my client saw.

This necklace was designed as a custom order and it was inspired by one of my previous necklaces I made. My client saw it in my collections and asked if I could adjust the colours to silvers and blues instead of browns and greens. This necklace was supposed to be a present for her mother on Christmas. She showed me her picture and I realised straight away, that the actual metallic base I was supposed to use wasn't good enough either, as the original design has quite defined rectangular shapes and would look a bit too geometrical when combined with smooth and feminine curves of her mother. I went to the shop and found a perfect base for the necklace. Usually I love going to the shops and buy good quality but not very expensive jewellery pieces made from metal. Then I work on top of it by adding polymer clay in any ways I want. This way the whole piece looks much more expensive, definitely is much more functional and there is less options for bits and bobs breaking off it. 

I know that I am not too patient with clay and even if I can spend hours texturising it, still I can't be bothered polishing it for 5-6 hours :) It's just not me! So I think that a lovely friendly good quality metallic base is a perfect addition to my artworks. 

So let me start by showing you the beginnings, the work in progress pictures.

It was quite easy to make this necklace technologically, but as you might already know it was quite time consuming with the textures. I really take my time with texturising every mil millimiter of clay when I work. Needless to say, I made it from black Premo clay by Polyform and after baking I painted it with a silver acrylic paint by using the dry brushing technique. And so here are the final results.

"Curious Froggy". Polymer Clay Jewelry Box.

Hello my sweet honey bunnies!

Days are going hotter and summer is here for sure! This made me very happy when I received this custom order. I was contacted by a wonderful woman who is a mother of a 15 years old girl.
She said that her daughter loves frogs and nature and she requires a jewellery box to be made for her with some sort of important saying. I asked her if there is anything she as a mother want's to tell her. She told me that there is a funny but wise phrase they two have and it sounds like: "Don't kiss without love!". I don't think I need to explain what that means. As a mother she tries to let her daughter how precious real family relationship should be.
But enough of that theory, enjoy the box! :) Find more pictures HERE.
