They are made of red, yellow and green fimo polymer clay, and dusted in several places with gold mica powder.
They were a pleasure to make, and the whole process didn't take much time - which is quite unusual, because by "the whole process" I mean from first design to complete finish.
It was probably due to the fact that I was thinking about making something like this pair for some time now, so the final design came to me pretty fast - though I entertained two different approaches - and shaping, baking and adding finishing touches went really... smooth. ( or should it be smoothly?). All in all, I've finished them in about 2.5 - 2hours 45 minutes.
As always, I didn't use any moulds whatsoever, and the only ready made elements are silver-plated ear wires.
They are 2.8cm(4.5cm including ear wires) long and weight only 1.5g each. Poinsettia elements are approximately 2.3cm in diameter (due to their shape measuring was a bit tricky).
I think they would make a nice little Christmas gift:) What do you think?

Aaand I'm just happy to say that this weekend I sold one of two art clay silver pendants I had in my store. Yay! I dispatched the pendant today and I hope it will arrive safely to its new owner, and that said owner will be happy with her order :)
Till the next time!

They came out so beautiful! I just started playing around with polymer clay so I'm far from creating such perfect petals. I find clay to be so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, working with clay usually is relaxing for me as well... until it gets to warm and starts stick to everything, that is ;)
