A ClayMate asked about polymer clay rings. I have not done many but I've done a few and this is my reply to her. I searched for other ring tutorials and added those links as well.

Tutorials on how the beads were made are on this page as well.

11-18-2009 Silver Leaf Done:

Necklaces, pins, earrings, finger rings, covered tin and a pen, most were made from the scraps from the 11-04-2009: Silver Leaf Cane

10-04-09 5AoF Clip On Earrings: The how-to on sandwiching a clip on earring finding between two layers of clay, in spite of a miscalculation in the beginning of the experiment.

 

09-28-09: Ring Start

I say start because these are the first polymer clay rings I've made. I had to make a ring mandrel and figure out how to use it with raw polymer clay.

09-26-09: Five Acres of Fear Finished

While we watched 4 more episodes of "Carnivāle" I did the wet sanding and finish on the 5 Acres of Fear swag. As you can see Jack is hella happy. The band will see them at the next rehearsal.

09-20-09: Five Acres of Fear

The use of a Super Swivel from Laker as a jewelry finding. Fishermen beware, your clayer girlfriend or wife will be raiding the tackle box.

07-11-08 Tiger's Eye Bead Necklaces.  These are rough draft necklaces. I'm experimenting with mixing different types of beads that were made of the same color family.

These five necklaces are made from the Tiger's Eye Bead Experiment of late 2007.

01-12-04 Tongues of Fire Necklace with Face Pendant

Of all the beads that got done and strung the Tongues of Fire beads had the biggest response. So Demo was more of these hot hot colors between Christmas and New Year. Tongues of Fire has a history and the longer I clay the more  those favorite themes evolve. There's a page of other Tongues of Fire efforts and it's FireCane over on the archived biz site.
