My journey in learning Polymer clay cane Technique.

These days I am learning Polymer clay Cane techniques.

It is something I never experimented before.

What I learned and things I made with this technique was extremely beautiful, but my journey in learning this technique is even interesting. 

Below image - Sakura flower Zumka made with Polymer clay Petal cane.

It was spring time and I decided to make Cherry blossom petal cane for my experiment ..

Beautiful pinks formed in shape of Flower petal.

In beginning it was really easy, Just shape the colors and you are done....

Wow, how Easy!!!! But its not....

Like other techniques, I had to face few challenges.

First challenge is to reduce that cane and maintain its shape.

And if you managed to reduce it properly, then the biggest challenge is to slice is evenly and maintain its shape.

I took some four days to learn this basic.. In above image you can see my first cane and the way I managed to retain its shape..

Sharing few earrings I made with this cane. They are indeed beautiful and unique.

Creativity is endless with this technique, I am still learning it.

Will share my other experiments soon, in my next post.

Vishnu's Matsya Avatar inspired necklace.

Most of my designs has Indian flavor.

Being a devotee of Krishna, I try to incorporate Krishna in all my work.

Recently I am working on Matsya-Avatar painting on my canvas, and that thought lead me to create such a beautiful and divine neck-piece.

Talking about Matsya Avatar, the First incarnation of Lord Vishnu in form of Fish.

To read more about the Avatar, sharing link of Wikipedia here.

Establishing a mythological subject in a form of a jewelry was indeed difficult.

Where I have to make sure that the story is going well as a jewelry.

Sharing a picture of WIP.

Talking about detailing in the necklace,
 I have added Fish, clay stripes as water, flower / Lotus and Face of Lord Vishnu.

And surprisingly the output was incredible!

I have made this necklace with the techniques of Indian Terracotta clay Art, and so the look of the necklace is just like a piece of terracotta jewelry.

Here is the final necklace.

Since Krishna is 8th incarnation of Vishnu, 

I have added a peacock feather, Krishna's face in this necklace.

Since the necklace was appreciated by many people on my Facebook page,

 (because I shared it first there- Sorry!! )Now I have decided to make it in colors. 

I have not started working on it, but as soon as I finish it, I'll update it in my next blog post.

Till then stay connected!!
