Angry Bird and Piggy Beads/Pencil Toppers



I made some angry birds and piggies out of polymer clay. I took these photos while they were baking in the toaster oven. I will be making some necklaces with the birds and black beads. I also made pencil toppers with the green piggies and red birds. I will be making some more soon and what a fun and challenging project it was! I tried to mix the colors as close as I could to the actual characters.

Double Knot 550 Paracord Bracelets




These are double knot 550 paracord bracelets. I can make them in a single color with one continuous color of cord or two toned using two pieces of cord.

Single 550 Paracord Bracelets






I make the 550 paracord bracelets in a single knot and also a double knot which is much thicker. I can make them two tone and also make bracelets with a thinner cord. I use quality, curved plastic clips for the bracelets. I also use a smaller clips on the thinner bracelets that are a secure clip or a quick release clip.

About Me

My photo
I enjoy silversmithing, making jewelry, beads and working with paracord. I sculpt in polymer clay and desert themes are my favorite. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate the beauty of nature into my work. My work has been published in a large book called "1000 Beads," Lark Jewelry and Beading, 2014. I have sold beads through the Glendale Bead Museum Shop, a gallery in Tucson and www.wearartbyjulie.etsy.com. I'm an artist currently showing my jewelry at the Shemer Art Center in Phoenix, AZ.
