Polymer Clay Colour Mixing Recipes and New Statement Jewellery

 

With the looming cold weather upon us it's time for a colour explosion.

Introducing my latest Limited Edtion collection created with my new Candy Mix colour tutorial, its the perfect pop of colour for the upcoming seasons.

My first is a new Tube Statement Necklace, a first for me at Lottie of London which I enjoyed crafting.  With bold and bright colours in an abstract design my tube necklace has been strung onto a simple silver plated chain so as not to detract from the design. 

Two new designs of my Half Moon Statement Earrings, a firm favourite of mine so I couldn't resit making more.

To finish something a little different, a new style of stud earrings in an abstract shape.

Polymer Clay Colour Palette Tutorials

Commissions for jewellery aren't the only thing I get requests for here at Lottie Of London.  I often get requests for the colour recipes that I create especially for my designs.

I love colour mixing for both my customers to create something special for a unique commission or playing with colour mixes for inspiration on new designs.

 

 

So it made sense that as I have my recipes written down to turn these nuggets of infomation into PDF Tutorials for the polymer clay community.  My PDF tutorials are now available to purchase both from my website here but also in my Etsy store.

 

So whats so different about my colour palettes?  Polymer clay is available in a wide variety of colours but rather than have stacks of little or even large blocks of all these colours I decided a long time ago to learn how to make my own from only the Fimo True Professional Colours.

 

6 colours plus black and white are all that's needed to create my recipes and its a great way of learning colour theory.

You can of course use any brand of polymer clay to create these recipes, your colours will turn out different but that's the fun in colour mixing!

I'll be adding more of my personal recipes over the coming months but also create some new yummy recipes for your to try like our Candy Palette Tutorial.

I love to colour mix at Lottie Of London Jewellery and my recent commission request was no exception.

I was asked to create my popular long statement necklace with red hues to coordinate with a clients coat.

When mixing primary colours such as green and blue you can shift the colour to lighter or darker resulting in a pale blue or navy blue for example. Working with red is a little different although adding black will darken a red into burgundy, adding white will quickly start to turn the colour pink and yellow will shift the red into a coral hue before becoming orange.

So it was decided to stick with the obvious bold red and shift into burgundy.

So after some colour mixing and testing I created a selection of seven red hues for my client to make her final selection, as seen below.

Once the final colours had been decided I set about creating the necklace and matching drop earrings.

Lottie Of London Polymer Clay Blog Update

 

Lottie Of London Polymer Clay Blog Update

Its been a long time since I've updated my polymer clay blog, but I know polymer clay blogs are a great resource to other clayers and for that reason I haven't taken the blog down.

My jewellery work took over and once I opened my shopify store it made sense to start a new blog over there that would be linked to my website.

Although predominantly my posts are related to my store, you can find posts on my commissions and new work ideas.  if your interested in taking a peek here's the link.

I'll be going through my posts to update and reload the photos that have been missing, surprisingly I have quite a few but you may find some are missing photos.
