“My Wish”

There are 5 handmade, hand carved PMC beads worked into the design that say Truth, Hope, Time, Peace, and Love. The handmade sterling silver box clasp contains a PMC cabochon with the message “I wish for” engraved on the top.

“Victorian Princess”

The PMC roses on my “Victorian Princess” necklace were made using handmade Polymer Clay molds. I took an impression off of a pair of Victorian style candle sticks to make the Polymer Clay molds; the PMC was then pressed into them to make the roses. Faceted garnets bring this piece alive.

“Turquoise Sea"

The PMC on this piece was formed around a piece of cork clay to create the hollow form. A Scotch Brite pad was used to create the texture on the bottom half of the piece. A Cubic Zirconia was added and the piece was hand carved and decorated with leftover PMC dust, PMC balls and syringe clay to create an organic look. The Turquoise cabochon was then attached with a two part epoxy.

“Midnight Violets"

For this piece a flower was sculpted out of Polymer Clay, then using that flower I made a Polymer clay mold. The PMC was pressed into the mold to make each of the flowers on the bracelet. Fine silver loops were inserted into each side of the flowers to use as connectors. Cubic Zirconias were used to decorate 3 of the flowers.

“My Wish 5"

The clasp and bead cones on this piece were created out of PMC, the design also includes 5 hand carved PMC beads that say Truth, Hope, Time, Peace and Love. The clasp was formed using PMC which was hand carved and a fine silver loop was inserted to make a connector. The bead cones were formed around cork clay, each of the swirls was hand carved. A Cubic Zirconia was added and the piece was decorated with syringe clay.
