Faux bone Cabs...by Chanel

Chanel Oldfield is a very talented wire worker and seed beader...we both belong to a wonderful beading forum. Chanel is the lady who I made some custom faux bone cabachons for...a little while back.

Well...exciting for me, she has used some of the cabs...to create the most beautiful pieces of jewellery. I have to say...it is really exciting to see my polymer clay work made into finished beauty!!!!

Thank you Chanel, you are so talented...here you go...piccies for you of the cuff and pendant.

Monthly Challenge- Mokume Gane

This month (September) we began monthly challenges on our Aussiepolyclayers forum. I was asked to be the hostess for this month and chose the theme...I love mokume gane now and have begun to really understand the whole idea of it...LOL..so it was natural I chose this technique to start off with.

The members of this lovely forum really jumped on board and have posted some amazing creations. I wish to thank everyone of them for making this...our first monthly challenge sonmuch fun. I have enjoyed looking at each and every entry. Thank you so much!!!

Here is a sampling of the entries...look here if you want to see them all.

Galaxy and some Jangles

I have made some more Mokume Gane...yes...i am slightly addicted!!!! ;)

This time i made a cuff and a ring. I like how the cuff feels on...chunky but comfy. I am not fussed on the ring...its abit 'bobbly' for me!!
I like how the colours turned out in this stack...i used some silver leaf in there...but it didnt really show much....enough for a little sparkle.

I also played around with a different effect on my jangles (so named after Joyce...the wonderful lady who shared her idea of using eggrings for bangle blanks)...it is kinda twisty ( yes a very technical word). I really ro like the effect...but i think i will play around with it abit more...when i have some more time. I would like i to be more textured, rougher. Will see!!!
