Funky polymer clay heart with tatting in progress

I made this funky, colorful heart in polymer clay, with holes around the edge for joining a lacy edging. So far I've tatted all the way around the heart, using rings and chains in size 10. Now, to decide what to do next. I want to finish this as a necklace.

That is VERY cool! I love how colorful and whimsical it looks. I gave one of my girls a shrinky dink set for Christmas - it might get hijacked!

Wow! Your tatting is just exquisite. When you hand dyed the yarn you took tatting up a notch, when added beads it became thrilling, now your beautiful tatting is totally over the top with the polymer clay! I do recall you did a freeform clay heart something in a mag around this time a year ago?

Marilee Rockley said...

Oh my, I'm not sure I can complete the necklace finishing well enough to do justice to all these wonderful comments! Anyway, yes, I did have an article published about combining polymer clay with tatting in Belle Armoire Jewelry Winter 2009.

very cool. I was thinking of doing something like this with that very light foam clay.. it is air dried.

Marilee Rockley said...

Sounds intriguing - I've never worked with that material. Let us know how it turns out!

Can't' wait to see the end product and wishing you an endless well of creativity to continue your work.
