Gemma Jewel polymer clay necklace, part two
2020-Jun-17, Wednesday 06:40 pmWay back in Part One I had a go at making a custom enclosure, to house the Gemma Jewel Circuit, from polymer (bake-in-the-oven) clay and a purchased bead forming tray. It worked okay, but there was room for improvement.
Firstly I wanted a deeper, more domed, front to the necklace than the purchased tray provided. Something more like a hemisphere. Actually, maybe exactly a hemisphere. But I couldn't find any forming tools to do this. I wandered into the craft shop and found a bouncy ball with about the right diameter to encase the Gemma Jewel. Then I picked up some air-dry clay, and made my way home.
I am very new to all this, this is just an experimental log, not a how-to.
( Details )
I have plans in motion for the rest, but for now; to be continued.
