Southwestern Pot Beads in Polymer Clay

















I recently made a series of my Southwestern Pot Beads in polymer clay.  These are a similar style to the beads I had published in "1000 Beads" by Lark Books last year.

I mixed all the colors, created the stripe accents, sculpted, used my own custom stamps for the tops and added all the accent lines by hand.  These were cured, stained, sanded and buffed to polish.

I made bracelets with these and they were delivered to a gallery shop in Phoenix.

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.
