Polymer clay is pretty big in some circles, and early on in my trips to Bead & Button I bought a number of polymer clay beads. They have been sitting in my bead stash ever since. Last week I decided to pull them out and make some necklaces. I like to use pearls with the polymer clay because they have a similar glossy finish. So, I ordered some freshwater pearls from Artbeads and they came last week and this morning I did the assembly.
For this bead I picked Pale Cranberry and Olive Green freshwater pearls.
For this bead I picked Purple Peacock and decided to add in some of the Pale Cranberry pearls.
For this bead I picked Butterscotch and added some Peacock Blue pearls.
All of the necklaces are strung on 24k Gold Extreme Flex Soft Flex Metallic Flex Wire, Fine (.014 in diameter). I use the fine Flex Wire for pearls because they generally have small holes. I have a few more polymer clay beads, but am still working on finding the right colors to go with them. I may end up with gemstone beads instead of pearls.
