2015PCchallenge, Cate van Alphen, focal, Indigo, pendant, polymer clay, shank button, toggle

This week for my indigo colour scheme toggle I super-sized a shank button.

I made a hook from silver coloured copper wire.

I made two loops at the back so one can be used to attach the beads and the other is for the hook. I thought it would give it a better “V” shape to a necklace than using only one shank. It also means that they are off centre so it gives the option to use the focal as a slider pendant without it flipping over.

2015PCchallenge, blue, Cate van Alphen, focal, polymer clay, toggle, water lilies

This week I decided to make a polymer clay toggle to go with the water lilies beads I made previously. I still haven’t got round to working out more interesting mechanics for the toggles so it’s back to the circle and bar design.

It is pretty chunky though.
