New Design

Ahh….finally a new design.

It is very hard to come up with something truly new. When you think you have, you open a magazine, book or webpage and see your design in full-glorious color. With someone else's byline!

This lariat design I believe is something new. The concept of a lariat is not new. The method of construction is. greenLariatdetail

 

I always wear a new design to ‘test’ wear ability and strength of construction. Yesterday I wore this out to lunch at a friends home. The girls had to try on the piece. Slips on and off with ease. Construction is extremely secure…I am pleased.

I now have the neckpiece in several designs.

My greatest challenge is what to do with all the polymer clay pieces I make. I do so admire those artists who create delicate jewels from polymer. I do not. Therein lies the challenge. What do I do with these chunks of polymer clay? How do I dress the polymer pieces to become wearable, desirable art?

I’m working on it…

Valerie, I think you should keep doing exactly what you are doing. Your 'chunks of polymer clay' are incredible artworks on their own. You would hardly need to do a thing for them to be recognized as such!

Cindy what a 'feel good' compliment! Thank you,
Valerie
