It's been a busy month - busy with everything except working with polymer. I was finally able to put aside a block of time or two, and have some new things to share. I wanted to do something that picked up the bits of gold we are starting to see in the trees here in New England. I decided to use the hills and valleys mokume gane technique with translucent polymer mixed with two of the new colors for fall - Cashmere Rose and Biscay Bay. I started with the rose shade, and imbedded the pieces with gold electroplated glass seed beads for a bit of contrast. The first photos shows some of the pieces I made.
On to blue! Here are 2 pendant and earring sets. I especially like the motion of the multiple pieces. Sometimes doing something fairly simple adds a lot of interest to a piece.Finally, I made a few brass cuffs. I tried a green but didn't get the shade I was looking for. It looks like it will be better for spring than fall.
