Yesterday I had the privilege to teach/show a few friends how to create fashion jewelry with polymer clay.
They had to soften clay, using special oil.....
Mix clay and try marbling, and to discover what happens if you work the clay too much....
and no, the cake and doughnuts are not clay. Looks good though!
Choices choices of clay and shapes..

Using cutters for your design, if you didn't want to do free form shaping...

Good techniques on how to attache pins for necklace, or a hole straight through...
Having tons of fun!
Waiting while the clay baked, cooled off, and glaceing it...

Drinking coffee and eating cake, this is a must :).
I played around with clay, using bits of leftover blended clay. A pendant, and some small pieces in future projects.
This pendant will have a leather strap, and I think silver metal as features.

Excellent way of spending a day in good friends company.
