My first TAD (Thing A Day) for Polymer Clay Central! Tah Dah! I started out being inspired by an Iris Mishley video and decontsructed the springs she showed to make a chain. I used three colors of clay that were actually something else I was trying out and didn't like. The color was a turquoise/copper green color so after constructing the chain with it I rubbed it with Gilders Paste in Antique Bronze with high lights of Antique Gold. The turquoise under color looks like a patina.
The strands for the spring/chain were made with my extruder. I bought it and then it went into hiding for awhile because - true to form - I got bored with it. But for this challenge I dug it out of my tool box. I think it will be one of the tools I use a lot for this challenge.
I did complete a good length of chain; so I started to look in my 'orphan' drawer for something to complete this project. I found a piece that I had made using the Cabezel mold. It had been languishing waiting for the right moment, so I put them together with my hand-crafted copper clasp and here is my result!
