Musing on polymer clay, beads, jewelry and other stuff.

sneak peek at new collection

Posted on | January 7, 2010 | 8 Comments

Here’s a sneak peek at my new Zen Garden collection. The collection will include simple necklaces, earrings and cuff or tile style bracelets.

In turbulent times it’s easy to get stressed out, which we all know isn’t good for your health. My hope is that these pieces will inspire the wearer to live more in the moment. Take the time to stop and smell the roses or at least savor and appreciate the little things in life.

A winter storm is not conducive to good photos. The green is much more vibrant (a beautiful jade green). All Zen Garden pieces include a lightly buffed faux jade tile with a dragonfly, peony or lotus set into a textured matte black background. These were made using the new Pardo jewellery clay.

    WOW!!! This is just gorgeous Chris. I can’t wait to see the new collection appear on Etsy! I LOVE those “matte” finished black beads!
    I’m sure that Lisa, Michelle and I will be hoarding them up…will you be selling any of the beads separately??
