I think it is always good to try new things but there will always be some that don't quite feel right, so they can safely be left to other people to enjoy doing. Your work with fabric is stunning - good choice!<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-81710986243187711862013-10-20T14:09:21.050+01:002013-10-20T14:09:21.050+01:00HI there, thanks for commenting on my recent post,...HI there, thanks for commenting on my recent post, I always love new people.<br />I love the simple canes but having tried working with polymer clay I gave it up as a bad job and prefer to stick to fabric. lol<br />Briony<br />xcrafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-17087647453889702882013-10-20T13:42:50.482+01:002013-10-20T13:42:50.482+01:00Thanks, Hannapat.

My supplies mainly come from www.jewellerymaker.com which has everything you could ever need for jewellery making with gemstones and also includes everything you need for polymer clay, metal clay, resin, jewel enamel, wire working, friendly plastic, aluminium etc. Just a word of warning though - it is an incredibly addictive website!! They also have a TV channel where yes, it is shopping, but they also have guest designers who show different techniques and they also have techniques on the website too. The polymer clay equipment is very competitively priced and they often have special bundle deals which are even better value. Normally, the clay roller is £14.95, but recently, it has been at £7.95 I think. I have always been pleased with the items and service I have received from them (no, I don't get sponsored to say this - it's just my opinion based on my personal experience!) However, if jewellery maker don't have the colours of clay I need in stock, I also buy from www.georgeweill.com who are a craft website and I often buy the wool I need for felting from them too. Hope this rather long reply is helpful.<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-13987934088533937442013-10-20T11:45:25.850+01:002013-10-20T11:45:25.850+01:00Ellie I have so enjoyed seeing this process and wo...Ellie I have so enjoyed seeing this process and would love to spend a day playing with you so you can teach me the tricks of the trade.

I am no expert, but I really enjoy working with the clay and being able to create jewellery, although, of course, polymer clay can be used for so much more and is starting to be accepted as an art medium in its own right.<br />The tassel necklace is my next project - watch this space!<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-77448824480631585142013-10-20T11:33:23.797+01:002013-10-20T11:33:23.797+01:00Thanks Sharon.

There is a great polymer clay community on the internet too, so there is always help through tutorials and lots of books as well. Donna Kato and Lisa Pavelka are two names which spring to mind - both polymer clay artists who have gone on to develop their own ranges of clay and tools, but they demonstrate lots of techniques too.<br />You can design and make a piece one day and be wearing it the next - I love it!<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-83544217146933891732013-10-19T23:53:57.146+01:002013-10-19T23:53:57.146+01:00It's so generous of you to share this process ...It's so generous of you to share this process with us Ellie - I have thoroughly enjoyed finding out how you make these beautiful pendants and look forward to seeing your pendant with a tassel.

It is a really forgiving medium to work with and often things made with scrap clay turn out to be just as interesting as planned pieces. I am currently working on a pendant with a tassel and several components, which are made, but need assembling. Once I have made it, I'll post a photo.<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-73515522272949927482013-10-19T18:55:04.474+01:002013-10-19T18:55:04.474+01:00You make it look very easy but I know that you hav...You make it look very easy but I know that you have a flair for doing this type of thing.
