Our friends at Polymer Clay Central have another design contest running. Their theme for the month is, appropriately, hearts. The contest isn't limited to jewelry designs, but the entries this month seem to be mainly jewelry styles of some sort.
My favorite is this lovely pendant necklace. It's a combination of round, oval and tubular beads with a pretty abstract heart shaped pendant. The overall effect is almost like the vintage style of millefiore.
Polymer clay is a pliable, blendable polymer compound for artists and crafters, including jewelry makers. It's not a real clay, but it can be used much like clay. It is very versatile and comes in dozens of colors. It doesn't dry out like clay does, so you can sculpt with it without worrying about a time limit.
You can still vote on the entries until the end of February. There are many other entries to choose from, and you can view them on this page of the Polymer Clay Central site.
Which one is your favorite?
