Polymer Clay Scribble Necklaces

Well my brand new clay extruder finally arrived and I have to say it was a joy to use, it wasn't until I received the new one that I realised my old one was on the way out for quite a while given the amount of blisters I kept getting trying to use it, still I now know for the future.

Polymer Clay Playing with Ideas

This week I have finally picked up the clay again, but was abruptly halted when my clay extruder gun decided to die on me! As I was mid flow in my making I had to promptly order another and am now eagerly awaiting its arrival.

Preparing my clay colours for extruding

However it did'nt stop my flow and Tuesday I was working on some new ideas that popped into my head, I usually have to make a note of them otherwise they will be lost in the mess that is my brain.

My Idea Book for all my scribbles

Here are some prototypes of some pieces I am working on I needed to create some rough versions to see how they would work once put together.

I also got round to creating some earrings with those faux jade elephants I made in my blog post Polymer Clay Faux Jade.
