This summer I set out to design an one-of-a-kind polymer clay pendant. My drawing skills really came in handy.
I started with a sketch of a flower first. I wanted it to have lots of texture and depth, so I added the little petals in the center and leaves between each flower petal.
Gin Blossoms-Light
I sent my sketch to Mad About Molds. That was the first time I ever had a custom mold done. I usually make my own. The first mold they made was too flat. I told them I wanted the pendant to have a dome shape so I was surprised to see this flat (really flat) mold. Jeannie was not happy.
Gin Blossoms-Dark
It all worked out and the end result is smashing.

I like things that look vintage or aged. I make a lot of my art work that way, so it was just natural for me to make the pendants look that way.
Now it was time to play with them. They can be paired with any type of bead or used as a bracelet focal. Some have two holes.

OMG!!!! You’re awesome, girl! Those Gin Blossoms look like they are from some old stucco decoration in an old building or something. And those pics with the matching beads are so beautiful.
These are so cute! I need to get some.
The Gin Blossoms and your beady combinations are so absolutely amazingly beautiful. Thank you for so much inspiration for the upcoming new year!
Those are gorgeous, I love them. I also love your peeled paint art beads, they are beautiful – I think that combo is my favorite.

Very cute and the colors are all great!
I’m torn between the pea pod smoke and the honey blush, but they’re all really cool.
