Sometimes it is just a matter of making another one or waiting for their next collection. You mention "young". I don't know what it is about clay, but there are more kitties, pizzas slices and unicorns in clay that I ever dreamed. But there are some artists like the Spanish ones, and the makers of the ndividual beads I showed hw make adult beads. I had to really look to put together this post. <br /><br />Mt very talented Susanfriend who makes the beaded necklaces (I think I once sent you photos) makes her own polymer beads , to work into her necklaces made of beads she collects on travels.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-86978468610212758292018-03-10T17:19:48.772-05:002018-03-10T17:19:48.772-05:00The RubyBlueJewel piece in grey and mustard is rea...The RubyBlueJewel piece in grey and mustard is really cute, but sold out. (I blame you 😏) There are still a couple of similar pieces in blue, white and mustard. Mustard is not my color, but I could pull it off with one of those and the price is right. I purchased a couple of sets of polymer beads on Etsy a few years back, but they skewed too young. I did use a few individual beads in the boho necklace that I showed you, but the rest will be used in gifts for teenagers. It’s always nice when you share pieces that support creative spirits and don’t break the bank, though I love looking at the bank-breakers, too.

That necklace from Madrid is right up my alley, reminds me very much of some of the works at the Yahoo Kusama Infinity Mirrors show on at the Art Gallery of Ontario right now.<br /><br />Agree with Margie's comments about the Viking jewellery. I guess there are only so many forms out there and every culture and epoch puts its own stamp on them.<br /><br />Thanks for this post, another eye opener. It's wonderful to learn about new forms and new ways of looking at things.LauraHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402103522466794364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-73360108996595004192018-03-08T08:23:51.577-05:002018-03-08T08:23:51.577-05:00How timely!

So colourful and even though they would have been much more limited in their materials there was a real attempt at a pattern or to have a symmetrical look to the design where possible.
