Flower Child's Artsy Jewelry

Flower Child's Artsy Jewelry , on Art Fire claims that her jewelry making is a hobby.  I beg to differ.  Her beautiful pieces show that she is a professional in the field of jewelry design.

She lives in Montana, Big Sky Country, and enjoys hiking, boating and fishing.  She is the mother of 4, and grandmother of 9.  To quote her, "Girls Rule", in her family since she has 3 daughters and 5 grand daughters.  She spends most of her time taking care of her grandchildren and working on her "hobby".  She also enjoys going to bead shows, drawing and reading.

Below, you'll find some of my favorite pieces from her Art Fire  shop.

Polymer Flowers on Hammer Antiqued Copper is a gorgeous example of this artist's talent.  I love the contrast between the polymer clay panels and the hammered copper!

This Hollow Fall Kaleidoscope Pendant  evokes the feeling of fall to me.

This Flowered Polymer Clay and Hammered Copper  Is another example of the use of different mediums to create a wonderful piece.

The final piece I chose because I love the colors.  And also because I'm intrigued by wire wrapping and I love rings!

I suggest that you visit her shop and see all her other wonderful pieces.

Animals On The Prowl

Everyone seems to love the look of animal prints these days.  From zebra to Dalmatian spots animal prints have long been a staple of the fashion industry.   Those of you familiar with polymer clay have long known that this particular medium adapts well to fashioning creative pieces using animal prints.

Art Fire's Polymer Clay Smooshers Guild contains some of the most talented polymer clay artists around.  Here are a few examples of their take on animal prints.

This Faux Snake Skin Double Bracelet by Amazing Designs  

shows the depth of color that can be achieved with polymer clay.

Here is a Leopard Print Pendant from Dream Weavers Designs

that is amazing.

This Giraffe Print Pendant Necklace by Flower Childs Artsy Jewelry

shows the technique of making animal prints in polymer clay wonderfully.

And while I don't usually include myself in these guild blog posts, I'm particularly fond of these Zebra Print Purse Earrings
