Polymer Clay on Glass Candleholder

I used a translucent Fimo to cover the glass, and then a paper punch to cut out Fimo leaves to make this. You can the leaves here. These leaves could be used for making jewelry too.

Foil on Polymer Clay Pendants

I used red variegated foil to make these pendants. It's the first time I've tested that product. I spread the foil onto a clay slab (it sticks easily) and then put the clay through the roller at a smaller setting to cause the crackle. And then I cut out the pendants by placing a plastic bag over the clay, and cutting. I do that so that the edges will be rounded.

More polymer clay candy

Again, I made a mold using Amazing Mold Putty, and used that for making the clay candy. I'm working on a necklace with the candy as well.

Polymer Clay Candy

I used Amazing Mold Putty to make molds of candy and baked polymer clay right in the molds. I might make some for jewelry but had fun just making a display. Looks edible, no calories, but rather tempting.

Polymer Clay Swirled Heart Jewelry

I've been still making hearts and these are some experiments doing swirls for the hearts. I'm still enjoying that process.

More Valentine's Hearts

Hard to show the crystals on these in this photo, but these are more experiments for decorating my Valentine's trees, which I then use for making jewelry. I made a mold to press stamp the outside ones and in the center is my experiment in cutting tiny clay hearts with a paper punch and putting them onto clay, then rolling out the clay to make it smooth. I used Pearl-Ex powders on them all, plus a rub-on metallic paste to highlight designs. The big heart lower left I used eye shadow rather than Pearl-Ex to get the muted effect, but I prefer the Pearl-Ex, so I still highlighted that one with a rub-on metallic paste. Naturally, I'm using all of these techniques to make pendants for jewelry as well.

Valentine Pendants

I made these Fimo pendants using a red effects clay, and stamped them. Then I brushed pearl-white Pearl-Ex onto the tops. Very easy to make!

Valentine Tree Ornaments

These are some of the simple Fimo ornaments I've made for the tree and any could be used as a pendant for jewelry. The gold sparkle seen is a regular glitter, and the frosted effects are Pearl Ex powders. I used cookie cutters to cut out the hearts. The designs I pressed in are from a paper heart doily.

Valentine's Tree

After Christmas I turn my Christmas trees into Valentine's trees and above is a picture of one of them. I've been making polymer clay ornaments for them, many of which could also be used as jewelry. I'll show pics soon of that. It's much fun to make Fimo hearts, etc.

Swirl Pendants

Here are some more swirls I've done with Fimo. It's rather addictive and great fun to do this. You can see the process here

Fimo Swirl Pendant

I like to match my jewelry to my clothing, and I wanted something for jewelry with a tad of a certain purple to wear, so I used just a small amount of the purple clay with the Fimo silver effect clay, to make the swirl. It's a great thing to do with left-over clay! I twist together a small coil of one color, and a larger coil of one or more other colors. Then using a piece of glass, I swirl the clay around to create the swirled effect.

Fimo Pendant

I like this, although it wasn't what I planned. I was playing with swirling beads and ended up with a pendant. It's made of Fimo's black, copper, and sparkle silver.

Turquoise and brass heart necklace

I added polymer clay in a turquoise shade to the filigree brass heart. It's just a matter of pressing the clay into the filigree and baking for the proper time.

Gold leaf necklace

I have some real gold leaf, from Germany, that's about a 100 years old. I decided to start using that for making some jewelry. Here's an example of one that I created.

Velvet necklace

I bought a pair of lovely earrings at a garage sale, took them apart, and made a couple of necklaces from them using velvet. This is one of the necklaces I made.

Blue and silver leaf necklace

I've been having fun experimenting with various metal leafs on polymer clay and this one I created by covering the clay with a silver leaf, and then sanding the top.

Necklace

This is made by using a red effects clay by Fimo and then decorated with a silver metallic paste and a Swarovski crystal.

Polymer clay leaf necklace

I made the leaves from black polymer clay covered in silver leaf, and then crackled. I'm having a lot of fun using the leaf in various colors. The leafs are "Mona Lisa" and are "composite metals." I've also used the real copper leaf they sell, and have been testing some antique real gold leaf that was from my Grandfather. What fun this is!

I made this out of a couple of vintage necklaces that I thought were rather goofy by themselves. Lousy pic-should have straightened it. :)

Doc's Original Jewelry and Miniatures

I love to make both jewelry and dollhouse miniatures. I work primarily in polymer clay but also in other mediums and with jewelry, I like to design and create from vintage and new mediums.

Pictured above is a waterfall necklace I recently made with vintage parts. -doc
