Donation time! Giving back to the polymer clay community

Each year I am kindly asked to send donations to polymer clay guilds organizing events.

These jewelry donations are being auctioned and the earnings goes to a worthy cause.

This year have sent 2 polymer-macrame jewellery sets:
One set was sent to the Orlando polymer clay guild “Orlando Fandango 2016” event, and the other set was sent to the Central Oklahoma guild – “OK Poly-Clay 2016 Twisters Retreat”.

Both sets were created with beads from my INKredible technique, using alcohol inks, paints, stamps & stencils and micro macrame knotting taken from the “INKredible Macrame” master class.

The knotting technique is using the shape of the bead to create the design itself, nothing is planned ahead :) Your base bead can be round, teardrop shape, oval etc.

First, the bead is wrapped using a knotted setting (like in this bracelet), then, the cords are gathered into 2 groups/sets – one to create the top part of the design (sometimes divided again into several groups) and the second group is decorating the bottom part of the bead.
The cords do not have to be long as we are simply creating our pendant. The long necklace is attached to the finished pendant, later.
I love to use the cords and add single beads to make a sort of a tassel!

I am using the Linhasita cords which are cotton cords treated with a wax finish (made in brazil).
These cords have the tendency to give a neat and accurate look.

I’m sure folks at the Orlando & Oklahoma retreat will enjoy their time claying with friends and I’m happy and honored to be giving back to the community who supports me!

Take care :)
