TEXTURED

These wonderful rustic polymer clay rings by Claire Maunsell have a lot to offer: original shapes, great colors, amazing colors. I found them (along with some very interesting beads and earrings) in Claire's shop, stillpointworks.etsy.com. You can see more of her works in her Flickr album.

ABSTRACT

These beautiful pendants and earrings in fall colors are by Nata Nei, an Israeli artist. To me, they look as if they were made out of highly-polished agates or some similar stones. Great colors and great designs!

Nata, as many other artists, values polymer clay for its versatility. She says:”Polymer clays seem to offer unlimited potential to a creative person. It is very thrilling to discover its magic every day.”

You may find more pictures of Nata's works in her Etsy shop and in her photo album.

ENCAPSULATED

Dave Sheely (davesheelydesigns.etsy.com) uses polymer clay in the most unusual way – he encapsulates his polymer clay tiles in industrial grade urethane to make his beautiful rings and pendants.

There are more pictures of Dave's work in his Flickr photo album.

ATOMIC

Quite unusual rings I found in ulala.etsy.com! Called Atomium rings, at first glance they do evoke images of molecular models from a chemistry class. Although a chemist in me protests against these unrealistic structures after a closer look, I really appreciate them as an artist. Interesting concept, yes?
