yet.

open center and is hung on an adjustable cord. The top surface has
been textured to give a fabric like effect.

resin finish.

gane as described in her book "Patterns in Polymer.

"This trinket box is my entry into the current challenge of the PCAGOE,
using only the colors, white, pink, yellow, blue & lavender The
skirt is actually the box while the top lies over the lid on the
"waistband," which is also pink. A yellow straw boater with
ribbon which matches the skirt, and the sleeves and collar on the top
is ready to don, as are the shoes, right next to their matching purse.

9 - Nature's Impressions in Pastel by Jan of JanGeisen
"This is a collage of scraps of polymer clay there were impressed with
various textures, including a bunch of very delicate seed stems I
found on an unidentified plant in a field in Indiana last summer. The
clay was patinaed in pastel shades of pink and green. The yellow
element is scrap from a yellow to green skinner blend sheet.
"
10 - Autumn of the Gems Clan by Angela of Elemental Dragons
"Autumn was created for the PCAGOE monthly challenge.
Autumn has a knack of having dragonflies land on her, we think it is
her colorful body.....luckly she likes them (most dragons will eat
them...shhhh)
"
11 - First "Relief Beyond Belief" Bead by Jill ofJKollmann
"Using the February challenge colors - white, yellow, optional green,
blue, lavender, pink - I did a mica shift Skinner Blend and used the
resulting veneer to apply Dan Cormier's "Relief Beyond
Belief" Master Class dieforming tools and techniques to create
this bead. Whew!
"
12 - Spring Goddess by Line of PlaySculptLive
"My goddess is already working on preparing spring. Like all goddesses
she has 2 sides, one so pretty full of flowers and rainbows and the
other full of realities and truths. She holds blood drops in each
lotus in her hands (red crystals) and bones in her lotus hat. Creating
is a messy business, the process not always pretty but in the end we
have so many new things to celebrate.
"
13 - Printemps Floral Mirror Compact by Berit of ClayImages
"My entry into the February challenge, spring color palette. The spring
flowers on this compact are created with the mokume gane technique.
"

"I made a mokume gane cane using white, green, pink, translucent and
yellow polymer clay. I placed the slices on top of an oval shaped
blue and purple bead. I textured the blue and purple pieces of the pendant before I placed
the cane slices. I placed the pendant on a teal blue steel cord. I also added stripes from a complimentary cane.
"
15 - Sweet Dreams Lotion and Frame Set by Arlene of ashpaints
"This gift set was made for my niece who was expecting her first child.
The lotion dispenser and frame are decorated with a skinner blend
then slices of flower canes add a touch of whimsey. Swirls of clay
make cool clouds and grass. The frame is just the perfect size to
slip in a gift card from the recipient's favorite store.
"
16 - Rainbow Pansy Pillow Bead Bracelet and Earring Set by Deb of rengalsa
"Blue, yellow, pink, purple, and white - wonderful shades of spring in
this colorful rainbow hued pansy. These beads were made from a unique
millefiori cane and layered in multiple sizes before being cut into
squares and shaped into pillow beads. This is my entry in the
February PCAGOE challenge.
