Fire and Wind Necklace
I'm experimenting with color and new techniques. My ‘Wind and Fire’ necklace developed from combining colors I found in an inspiration fabric. You know, the quarter and half yards of fabric we buy because we love something about the pattern or the colors – inspiration fabric! I also wanted to experiment with the ‘feather’ or bargello pattern and this is what happened! When I make a slab of patterned polymer, I want to use it all. That means beads, earrings and anything else I can think of. After I made the rectangles for the flared necklace, I made an 8” roll by wrapping a piece of the slab around the handle of an exacto knife. It really turned out well. I just have not decided if I want to saw it into shorter pieces or keep it long. I might cut it into thirds and string it. After everything was cut, detailed and fired, I put it all into the tumbler that was lined with sandpaper. That always...
