It has been a long day.... Great granddaughter Lily and daughter Heather came over this morning and then I spend most of the afternoon at the dentist. I did manage to squeeze in a little clay time tho...

Today I used ordinary things you find around the house to make textures in a couple cabochons. I rolled the clay into balls pressed them in the palm of my hands and then used the bottom of a diet coke can to make the round cabochon shapes. They haven't been cured yet. I intent to antique them once they are cured, sanded and buffed. I used Kato Pearl mixed with assorted colors of Premo and Kato. I use at least a touch of Kato Pearl in almost everything I make.

Last year when I had cataract surgery I had to put drops in my eyes 3 times a day. I saved the bottles because I like the designs on the lids... I used them along with small screw drivers to make the texture on the purple cab.

I used a tracing wheel and an the empty ink pen barrel to create the design on the pink cab.

I removed the guts from the pen and then used both ends to press into the clay. The design at the tip end makes neat circles with a raised center. I use this a lot when making eyes, flower centers and flower petals and more.

The other end has a larger hexagon design which I used to make the larger circles on the cab. I just popped these in the oven. I will antique and sand them in the morning.

I also made a pod focal bead with a mirror image center and a mirror image pendant. I put these in the box of things that need to be sanded.

Done for today.

More texture tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by.

Polymer clay is a versatile medium. Use it for jewelry, for sure. But also consider it for original jewelry holders or displays as well. Polymer clay jewelry dishes, as Laura Gummerman said, are perfect for "ring litterers" - people who leave rings, especially stacking rings around the house and lose them. Her gorgeous tutorial over on A Beautiful Mess shows off a marbled design. I like how she added gold gilding around the edges.

Jewelry dishes don't have to be for just rings - favorite bracelets and earrings you wear a lot are also applicable. If you prefer less colorful designs, check out Erica's tutorial over on Honestly, WTF. The subtle pattern comes from a doily. Erica was inspired by German blogger Caro's tutorial on Sodapop Design.

Many things can be used to imprint a design. I love this subtle fall leaf design. Adrianne over on Crafts Unleashed also dabbed and wiped off gold acrylic paint for her tutorial. Don't you think this would look great as a jewelry holder for a nature themed jewelry booth?

Archana, who writes the Flavor Nook blog, used a raised pattern tray for her tutorial. She really accentuated the pattern by adding a painted contrast color.

There are all kinds of texture plates out there. This gorgeous tutorial uses a damask one. The results are fabulous. The tutorial is by Natalie who is the author of Doodlecraft.
