Just as I thought I'd put polymer clay on hold someone ordered beads from me ...

Not made by me




This is an earring minus the earhook ... It was made by an anonymous artist from the Hill Tribes ... It's huge weights about 150 gr and about 18 cm tall. It was probably worn attached to a head dress. I turned this one into a huge pendant ..

The milky way or organic polymer



I found a great tutorial to learn how to make galalithe. Galalithe is a milk based polymer also known as "french bakelite". You have to heat some milk and pour a few drops of vinegar , then you filter the mixture, allow to dry a bit for 24 hours, then you can use it and turn it into beads or pendants and leave it dry for 3 days ( or more). You can sand it, saw it, file it, patinate it.
It takes time comparing to polymer clay but it's an organic plastic much better for health and environment ( though I will still use polymer clay, at least the one I still have).
