2015 Spectrum Year

For 2015 I have decided to divide the year up into 7 blocks and focus on one colour of the spectrum at a time. I am combining this challenge with Katie Oskin’s 2015 Polymer Clay Challenge, so each week I will complete at least one jewellery component i.e. focal, toggle or beads in the current colour.

2015 Polymer Clay Challenge

Focal
Pendant, cabochon or large bead (1″ or larger).
Toggle
Toggle, button or other closure method.

  1. Great idea to have a plan, Cate. I’m usually not that organized but I may follow you’re example and think systematically. Love your colour palettes. Thanks for the nudge to start me thinking ahead instead of leaving it to the last minute.
