Over the summer, I had the opportunity to see a demo of someone making some resin jewely pieces. Of course my muse was intrigued and automatically wanted to know how I could combine my mokume gane with this.
I'd seen pieces on Polymer Clay Central and Flickr that used resin along with Polymer Clay, but I had to figure out out how to add my own twist to it.
This idea to add mokume gane chips, of course was another one of those oops moments. This slab was an old one, so I had it under a heating pad trying to warm it up and make it more pliable. But of course, I forgot about it and 30 minutes later, the clay had started to cure. So i decided to break it up into pieces and bake them. At that time I had no idea what I was going to do with them.
Then I saw the demo on resin and "ding ding ding", the bell went off. I added the pieces as inclusions in the resin.
I love the space age look of this piece.

New Mokume Gane Pendant
I am venturing back into the jewelry making arena, so as I was creating this new mokume gane slab, I decided to make some focal beads with it.
This is the other side of the pendant. I love them both.
