Customized Polymer clay jewelry and more....

For past 2 months, since I booked my tickets for vacation to my home country I have been claying some jewelry to gift my cousins and a customized set of jewelry for myself.Here are the pictures of those..


I designed the below Necklace with pendant and Jhumka to match my traditional south Indian attire(Saree).So, I chose the same colours and design as it is in my saree. Flowers on the borders of the saree to be the centre of the pendant and the main geometric design to be the borders for the pendant.And added the pallu and blouse colour as beads.

It is great when people say your jewelry is nice and I felt very proud to say " I made it" :).




I have joined a group in facebook called 52 week cane projects where they teach , How to make different types of polymer clay cane each week.There I learnt How to make a leopard cane.With that I made the below jewelry to give as gifts to my cousins and friends.



Another simple set for my youngest cousin.




Some Rings,Studs & Bracelets...








Last but some sweetest gifts are customized teddy bear key chain for my aunt's daughter and a banana key chain for my father who is an agriculturist .




What do you think about these jewelry and gifts??Which one did you like the most??Comments are welcome.Feel free to leave your comment below or write to vikalpah@gmail.com .

While I was thinking through some different and inexpensive ways to decorate the ceiling above my craft table, I came up with this idea of modern mobile using straws. This mobile can be made in various sizes and shapes. Is there anybody at your home who loves mathematics ?? They will surely love this. And, yes my husband loves Mathematics and he loved this. Now to the DIY.
