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.
