Etsy Metal Clay Team’s Charming Bracelet

To date, every post on this blog has been dedicated to the work of a single artist, or in one case, the collaboration of two.  I just knew I had to break that convention when I saw the results of the Etsy Metal Clay Team’s Charm Swap.  I’ve been watching with interest on the blogs [...]

Lannum’s Eiffel Tower Pendant

Gail Lannum is a talented jewelry artist and a prolific blogger who I’ve been following for over a year.  Because of this I sort of feel that I “know” this person that I’ve never met.  I’ve followed her through work stresses, new kitties, vacations, shows, falling trees, and most of all BRONZClay creations.  In fact, [...]

Nelson’s Toggle Pendant

North Carolina’s Zoe Nelson created this gorgeous toggle pendant where the decorative clasp is the focal point of the piece.  The asymmetrical design cradles a  dichroic glass cabachon in my favorite color.  In her blog, Zoe recently shared some exciting news - her work has been placed in a Raleigh gallery.  This piece was created [...]

Gielen’s Long Box Pendant

This piece from Clayology’s Linda Gielen is lovely in so many ways.  It’s magic is in the details, such as the box construction, interesting shape, triangular gemstone setting and fascinating texture.  Lind has finished this piece with custom metal clay clasp.  And, who can resist the classic call of pearls?  There’s so much to see [...]

Roberts’ New Life Pin

Linda Roberts is a talented artist working mostly in beads - those teeny, tiny ones that tax every bit of my limited patience!  She also creates in polymer clay, and I found two photos of metal clay work.  I’m not sure if she’s a relative newcomer to metal clay, or if she just hasn’t shared [...]
