    On the Bench

    I like to sketch faces and also sculpt them from polymer clay. I have been working on a pendant the last few days, my usual format for presentation of faces. I thought I would share what I have been doing on this new project. I’ve been making face pendants around two years now….as time allows. I tend to sketch until I draw something interesting…then I pull out the clay. Sometimes the end result resembles the sketch, but usually it doesn’t and that may not be important.

    Faux Bone Lintel Earrings Faux bone is a fantastic material for earrings–it is lightweight and easily formed and textured. My choice for texture so far is smooth and polished (and finished with Renaissance wax), setting up a background for other elements that are well set off by the white color of the material. Here, copper fans are sawed, filed, polished and etched, then drilled and riveted onto the faux bone. I had fun with the tops of these earrings because I have always been attracted to the architectural lintel. Earrings are 1.75″ long, not counting the sterling earwire.
