I have made two pairs of earrings for the Art Bead Scene monthly challenge. I made the polymer clay art beads for them too. Here’s the inspiration painting:
Jacob’s Ladder by Helen Frankenthaler
Oil on canvas, 1957
Here are the earrings:
Earrings by Cate van Alphen
The first pair of earrings is smaller and the beads are more regular. I paired them with green crystal cubes and seed beads on niobium pins.
The second pair of beads I made were more organic and irregular. They reminded me of seed pods. I made them into longer earrings with a leaf charm at the bottom.

Lovely work! I am curious, are the swirls IN or ON the polymer clay? My favorite are the smaller earrings! Nice work! I will be back to peruse your blog post from earlier!
I used marbled scraps of polymer clay. The shape of the beads makes fins that I edged in gold.
Those beads are great. I love how you pulled in the abstract part of the painting through the beads.
