"Serenity Statement Necklace"

"the state of being calm, peaceful, untroubled"
"an oasis of serenity amidst the bustling city"
There is a feeling of peace and calm whenever I do something that is far beyond what my day at the office is. I like spending time at home and being creative. This challenge was a long process that took about 3 weeks of my free time to finish.

| Serenity Statement Necklace Faux Stone Polymer Clay |
I love making cabochons from polymer clay so I made 3 teardrops using the Rocky Path technique that I have shared in this blog a couple of times. Doesn't it look like stones?

The embroidery took about 4 nights to finish and that includes sewing and unsewing the beads. LOL. I am happy with how it turned out but I think I will add a picot beads on the border... perhaps I will write a post blog article on that.
In the meantime, let's head over to The Studio Sublime and see more beautiful pieces.

The back of your cabs is just as beautiful as the front, and yes, it does look like a stone! I used the term "ripped out and started over" - I prefer your term "unsewing"! Beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. ..I love it. Sonya
ReplyDeleteI can't believe those are polymer cabs! When I first saw them I thought they were vintage glass pieces. Love how you joined them together.
ReplyDeleteGreat attention to detail with the back of the cabs. I love the shape with the trio of cabs. Instead of ripping out beads I'd be ripping out my hair!
ReplyDeleteYour clay does look like stone, it's beautiful! I love what you did. I'm so curious, did you attach them altogether on the backing, or after you stitched them all?
ReplyDeleteI love the grouping together of the three cabs, it is stunning!
ReplyDeleteI love the cabochons you made. I'm not familiar with the technique. It looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed that you not only beaded the bezels to create a necklace but that you created the beautiful teardrop cabochons, too. *lovely work*
ReplyDeleteI love your cabs, the colors are great and the finished piece definitely reflects serenity.
ReplyDeleteOh I think it looks beautiful just the way it is - without the piquots. How wonderful that you made the cabs and you are right - they DO look like stones. Just love the color! They looks like lovely teardrops.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful...I love those faux stones, and your neccklace screams "look at me"... You also made me smile with your 'unsewing'...I get it, it's the price we pay for artistic perfection.;0
ReplyDeleteFirst off, gorgeous poly clay cabs!! I love the faux stone technique. Just starting to dabble in this medium and I'm in awe of your technique. The beaded bezels are a perfect setting for your work.

Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteWow your cabs look like real stone for sure as a matter of fack they look similar to Larsonite. Beautiful work and beautiful pendant. I think the picot edging would be a wonderfl accent to your pendant.

I loved the shape and colors of this piece when I saw the tiny image of it on my blog. After reading the story and learning how busy you are I admire it even more.
ReplyDeleteWhen I browsed through the Linkz page your piece immediately caught my eye. It's just lovely. The colors, the shape. I'm amazed those beautiful cabs are polymer clay. They really do look like stones. Your piece is one of my favorites of this hop :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, they do look like stones! I will have to check out your tut on it. I really want to get to some clay making. Beautiful colors too! Great Job. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteMichelle! Your cabochons are FANTASTIC! WOW! The detail on the back of the cabs is wonderful and the front, they look like an exotic stone! Fabulous beadweaving! I'm like you, when I get home from work being creative is the best way to unwind! Thank you so much for participating in the challenge!
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe that the cabs are made from pc! This is truly a statement piece. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteMichelle-I love what you did with polymer clay. Putting the 3 cabs together created a beautiful focal. Your beading is wonderful. Congrats on winning with the necklace. I can see why! Well done!
