Handmade Jewelry Guide

Polymer clay has been my new obsession since I started experimenting with it a couple years ago. This medium has enabled me to expand my creativity and create tangible wearable art using my hands! I hope each piece helps you shine and show off you’re unique personality!

How long does it take?

Overall, each limited batch takes about 10 - 20 hrs to create from mixing the colors, creating & fine-tuning the shapes, baking, glazing & curing, to assembling the final pieces. It’s a slow-made process where I put a lot of love & passion into each piece ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Swirly Randomness

For marbled pieces, I love exploring the mix of colors. Each twist & fold of the colors create a random pattern & mix that’s truly unique! I like to think that this represents our daily lives where it’s a constant mix & twist of swirly randomness.

Glazed not confused

Each piece is double glazed with a base coat & resin. The resin process involves curing in the 🌞 which can take a few days, but it’s worth the time to glam up each piece with that perfect pretty shine and extra durability!

No scraps left behind!

I hoard all the scrap clay from each batch. They’re perfect for adding random shapes & colors to new pieces or create new items like roach clips & trinket dishes. I also use them to create supporting tools like little stands to hold the clay while curing, and bowls for organizing glazed vs non-glazed charms.
