How to Choose Jewelry

Making jewelry is very popular among polymer clay artists, which makes us part-time jewelry stylists.  If not helping our clients with choosing the best earrings and necklaces, we are faced with the same questions for ourselves.

On a number of occasions I've heard polymer clay artists saying that they do not wear jewelry at all because nothing seems to look good on them (this is usually said with a sad sigh).  I am pretty sure that there is the right jewelry for every woman in every outfit (except when she is dressing for work-out, hiking, or some similar activity, to be exact).

Anyway, having polymer clay with its endless possibilities for creating any color, texture, or shape, enables us to come up with the perfect jewelry piece for any occasion while all other mere mortals have to hunt it down in shops, boutiques, and on-line.  There is only one question: what to make?

To answer this question, I want to share a very informative post from Imogen Lamport's blog Inside Out Style.  Imogen is a Melbourne (Australia) based blogger and internationally certified image consultant.  Her blog is packed with fashion and style information for real women.  Enjoy!

Polymer Clay Chameleon: Ethnic

Every so often I return the idea of featuring the works of other polymer clay artists in my blog, just like I used to do in my blog PolymerClayChameleon.blogspot.com.

When I came across the polymer clay art jewelry pieces by a young Ukrainian artist aleksanta (too bad, I do not know her real name), I just had to share them.  She works in different styles, and there are many original and interesting works in her blog, but my favorite are these three:
