Thank you for visiting Really Unique Creations I have been working with polymer clay since 1999. The special properties of polymer clay allow for an infinite range of techniques and final outcomes. Each day in the studio is a revelation of what can be done with this medium. Spend some time here to see a small sampling of what I have created over the years.
At right is an example of my Watch Box Necklace which has gone through many formations over the years. On this one I have used my formula for faux ivory along with an image transfer of a classic Japanese woodcut.
Reversible Lentil Bead Pendant on Kumihimo Braided Necklace - I'm currently obsessed with Kumihimo braiding. It's an ancient Japanese brading technique that I think really accents my work well. This one is black and ivory satin cord and drapes beautifully. The pendant is faux ivory with a liquid clay transfer and black and translucent accents with a beaded tassel.
Some of my newest pieces are shown below...
