polymer clay bracelet charms

Hello! I made a few polymer clay charms and came up with these bracelets.

I made some mini dead man's party charms. Each one is painted with a white skeleton on one side and a pink skeleton on the other.

 Rubber duckies hold a special place for the child in all of us. I love the way this bracelet came out.

These next two  bracelets were special orders for some friends. This one is "Paris the pit" who  is famous for her heart shaped nose.

 And this is Sophie the chihuahua. She was a challenge so I am so happy that it came out! The customer was so pleased. There is no feeling like when you see someone so happy with your work.

 Sculpting is such a wonderful challenge. I love the way you see things slowly starting to take form.

Which do you like best?

Any suggestions?

Life is a Zoo!

Hello! Today I was feeling a bit wild. I focused on stretch cord bracelets and had fun with an animal print theme.

This bracelet reminds me of a leopard with the spots on the smaller wood beads. I made a blue wire spiral as the focal point.

 I am sure this pink and black zebra bracelet will not last very long at the sale!

 The markings on these beads also remind me of a zebra's stripes. I partnered it with burgandy and silver glass beads for a slightly more elegant feel.

 Never judge a cheetah by it's spots. I like the neutral browns of this one.

 And another fun cheetah styled bracelet. This time partnered with bright and creamy oranges.

 I know the ladies will go wild for these at the sale!

It's just around the corner now.

Till then...
