But I actually finished a necklace which was started last year. This is the first of a series of work that's been sitting on my bench. One of them is probably 9 or 10 years old. Does that ever happen to you? For whatever reason, that's the way I work sometimes. When I started experimenting with making faux stones, I started working with translucent polymer clay. I had never really worked with it much in the past but am finding how wonderful the effects can be. I set it in one of my etched sterling pieces.
Also, I took my own advice and had a couple radial style gradient sheets printed out at my local office supply store. Unfortunately, the radial needed to be tighter so I've got another order in to be picked up later today. The first photo was taken over a white acrylic panel.
Have a great weekend!

Beautiful piece, great design. Thank you for sharing the effort you went through to capture the look of the stone. When I only see the finished wonderful product, I think it's the first and final attempt at the piece. Even though I know that's silly. It helped to have you reinforce that there are often many steps and trials and failures before the item is what you wanted to get.
