Polymer Clay


Isn't this a beautiful example of a polymer clay necklace? My sister-in-law Judith made it for her son's girl-friend; actually she made the necklace for a specific dress. And you should see the necklace and the dress together. Actually, you do. It's the top picture. Loverly (got this word from a fab British blog). The thing about polymer clay jewelry is that it is also nice to wear, feels good on the skin and is light. I don't know about you, but I don't like heavy necklaces clunking around my neck.
There's a jewelry store in Munich right next to the Assam Kirche church (used to be the tourist shop), like the church, the store looks like it was hammered right into stone. Really fabulous, and great location. And the necklaces the two goldsmiths who work there make are absolutely gourgeous, all made of precious and semi-precious stones. Rocks, rather. They look like they weigh a ton. Actually like they llok like weigh about as much as the Assam church. And so that is what makes this kind of jewelry so wearable. Its lightness. And the fact that you can fashion it exactly to match the dress you're wearing.
