Watermelon

Summer days, family cook-outs, sticky faces and hands - these are the images I think of when I think of watermelon.  There's nothing quite like a good, crisp, sweet slice of this fruit.

The colors of this pretty swirled pendant from 2 Good Claymates reminds me of a slice of watermelon;

As this season starts to wind down, I hope everyone has enjoyed their summer and is looking for some cooler weather and wonderous colors for the upcoming fall.  Make sure you continue to check out the Polymer Clay Smooshers for beautiful works of art and unique jewelry pieces.

Black and White

Black and white brings to mind; classic old movies {and very old televisions}, penguins, many typed term papers, zebras, and of course traditional bride and groom garb.  With all the wonderful colors available in polymer clay, you would think black and white would take a back seat in the creativity department.  Not so!  Black and white jewelry can be very chic and make a powerful statement.

Take a look at Averilpam's creations...
