A pretty necklace with 15 flowery patterned flat beads strung on knotted black waxed cotton cord. Each bead is handmade from polymer clay. The colours used have been mixed by me and used to create a polymer clay flower cane. The beads have been decorated with ultra-thin slices of the flower cane. After baking, the beads were sanded with multiple grit sand-papers and then buffed to a matt shine. Two pretty glass beads have been strung either side of the focal bead.

The necklace is 76cm (29″) long.

The necklace will be packaged in a charming, burgundy-coloured organza bag with ribbon drawstring and a removable base. A really useful large bag for long-term storage of your necklace. The bag and necklace will be wrapped in delightful sea-blue wrapping paper, hand-stamped with gold mackerel and tied up with gold raffia. Finally, the package will be sent in a padded envelope.

A really fun pair of earrings, very light and comfortable to wear. The body of the earring is made from a slice taken from a complicated polymer clay cane – so the backs of the earrings have the same stripes. The colours shift within each stripe from shades of dark turquoise green through to lime and bronze. Additional thin veneer slices of white jelly-roll canes have been added to the front. After baking, the earrings were sanded with multiple grit sand-papers and then buffed to a matt shine. Then I just let my imagination run riot and make up dangles with brass wires and embellish them with random glass and crystal beads. You wouldn’t find anything like this on the High Street. The earwires are gilt-plated.

The earrings will be packaged in a burgundy gift box tied up with matching gold and burgundy sparkling ribbon. Finally, the package will be sent in a padded envelope.

Just the earrings for a boating summer, modelled on International Marine Signal flags. These earrings are the flags for C and R. If anyone fancies their initials as earrings, then please send me a message via the Contact Page. Or maybe you know your nautical flags and want to use flags with alternative meanings full of dubious innnuendo?

The flags are handmade from polymer clay. After baking, they were sanded with multiple grit sand-papers and then buffed to a matt shine. They are strung on sterling silver ear-wires with a co-ordinating pressed glass bead.

The earrings will be packaged in a burgundy gift box tied up with matching gold and burgundy sparkling ribbon. Finally, the package will be sent in a padded envelope.

Just the necklace for a boating summer – Admiral Nelson would be proud of you. Each bead is modelled on an International Marine Signal flag. I chose the beads on the basis of their colour and pattern – LRGNOFZ not being that interesting a message! Each flag has a second meaning though, some of which could be useful on a night out on the town eg. ‘You are running into danger’ or perhaps ‘Keep clear of me – I am manoeuvring with difficulty’. Anyway back to reality.

The flag beads are all handmade from polymer clay. After baking, the beads were sanded with multiple grit sand-papers and then buffed to a matt shine. The flags are strung with co-ordinating pressed glass beads and threaded with hollow black rubber tubing. The necklace is 54cm (21″).

The necklace will be packaged in a charming, burgundy-coloured organza bag with ribbon drawstring and a removable base. A really useful large bag for long-term storage of your necklace. The bag and necklace will be wrapped in delightful sea-blue wrapping paper, hand-stamped with gold mackerel and tied up with gold raffia. Finally, the package will be sent in a padded envelope.

A riot of handmade blue and green beads strung on multiple white and turquoise cotton threads, interspersed with matching lime and turquoise glass beads. This is a one-off necklace on a website of one-off necklaces!

The larger beads are hollow, making this a very comfortable necklace to wear. Each bead is handmade and the surface decorated with ultra-thin slices of different polymer clay canes. A few of the larger beads have been further embellished for some texture with clay blended across the colour spectrum of the whole necklace. After baking, the beads were sanded with multiple grit sand-papers and then buffed to a matt shine. Each bead is unique, let alone the necklace!

The necklace is 70cm (27″) long with a 9cm (3.5″) beaded tassel.

The necklace will be packaged in a charming, burgundy-coloured organza bag with ribbon drawstring and a removable base. A really useful large bag for long-term storage of your necklace. The bag and necklace will be wrapped in delightful sea-blue wrapping paper, hand-stamped with gold mackerel and tied up with gold raffia. Finally, the package will be sent in a padded envelope.
