new polymer clay cuff

The cuff below is the result of an afternoon spent playing with the new texture wheels I made thanks to an article in the current issue of Polymer Cafe. The author, Irene Semanchuck Dean, explores a new spin (literally) on an old idea. Want to know more? I’m sure I saw a few magazines left on the shelf at Barnes and Noble the other day…

Polymer clay, acrylic paint, wire

After I added the texture and baked the clay, I painted it then sanded off the texture…oh it’s a long story! This is my first attempt at an all-polymer cuff bracelet – it didn’t turn out looking anything like the picture I had in my head, so I will try both again – cuffs and texture wheels (next time I won’t sand off the texture). Have a great weekend!

  5. I love how your bracelet turned out and I love how the content on your blog is always different. Thank you for the daily inspiration. Did you use a cuff base for such a perfectly formed bracelet?

    Very nice! And so beautifully finished.

    I also want to say (again) that I love Daily Art Muse!

    Thanks to all for your comments. – I’m not crazy about this one but it was a good learning experience.

    Garlinda – The bracelet is baked over a brass cuff form and then removed a la Donna Kato!
