Tutorial - Polymer Clay Pendants With Leaf Imprints and Silver Frames

Description

Even the simplest of polymer clay designs look like a piece of art when it is framed in silver. Problem is, commercial silver bezels and frames are expensive and limited in shapes. Some polymer clay artists successfully make these parts themselves, but many are scared by the metal-working techniques, such as soldering, required for the typical process of creating a silver frame.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to avoid soldering, yet be able to create silver frames in virtually any shape you can imagine.

The tutorial explains how to use readily available commercial supplies to make your own flat and custom-shaped frames for polymer clay pendants. Examples shown in this tutorial demonstrate three different shapes of frames, with smooth, textured, and oxidized finish. For your convenience, I am including instructions both for people who want to just try these techniques without a serious investment into professional tools and materials, and also for those who have these tools.

To complete the project, you will learn how to use real leaves in creating polymer clay pendants with both positive and negative leaf impressions. With the variety of leaves available in nature, you have an endless supply of possible stamps to use in your own creations.

The tutorial includes:

- Detailed list of materials, including information about the brands and the best places where to buy these materials;
- Complete list of tools needed to finish this project;
- Eighteen pages of detailed step-by-step explanations how to make the pendants;
- Forty three big full-color pictures showing every step.

Pre-requisites: Some previous experience with polymer clay and/or wire is helpful, but not necessary.
