Polymer Clay Pendant




I just got some inspiration out of a Joan Miró Painting. I made several of these. 

Hand Made Clay Beads and Pendant

I got inspired by the amazing job that Oaxacan artisans do with their clay. After visiting Oaxaca last month, I had absolutely to try to make something on my own. I tried with air-drying clay, because I do not have a kiln.  This is a very nice outcome I got compliments while wearing my brand new clay necklace.

Art Decó Necklace




Fabulous Chocolate Stick, Baroque and round Pearl and Agate Necklace

This is a statement necklace, I came up with the idea for this one over several days, and I got inspired by the fabulous pearls I found at the bead store here in San Diego, and the asymmetrical features on Art Decó buildings. This looks great against your skin.

This clay is from Atzompa, Oaxaca, and I added some turquoise beads for more drama. 
The look is very organic, and earthy. Nice for an unusual piece of wearable art.

Clay from Atzompa, Oaxaca


This summer, I visited Oaxaca, and I was really impressed by the designers of clay beads. I never thought that a design with humble clay would be so beautiful. These are some of the things I made with the beads from Atzompa.

This one was difficult to make, specially because the fragility of the clay circles.
But they turned out beautiful at the end.
