Description
After a positive response to this design I have made a few more of these pendants
. They are different sizes and shapes because dragons probably come in different sizes and shapes too. I might be adding some smaller ones in the future - these ones are about 3cm long and 2 - 2.5 cm wide.These are all currently available in my Etsy store www.etsy.com/shop/BlueLilyCraf… !

These are beautiful! I love the faux prongs on the bezels! Really gives the pieces a realistic feel. What brand of translucent clay do you use?

Thanks! I like Translucent Cernit. It seems a bit more translucent and doesn't plaque as much as Fimo (which is my second choice). It also has a nice texture because it's not as prone to crumbling

I am definitely going to have to get my hands on Cernit...Ebay here I come. Pardo translucent by Diva Décor seems to be the translucent clay of choice for the polymer community, but it is always so hard, at least, what I have been able to purchase here in the states is. I try adding some oil, a little at a time, to help soften it so that when I do go and use it isn't like I working with a hard cheese! lol I have yet to try the Fimo translucent either. When I'm not fighting with the Pardo I use Premo. At the moment I am working on getting a supply of Sonnet. Have you seen it? I finally found a supplier in Utah and just got a catalog, but of course, no pricing. So, now off to get a pricing list so I know if it's even viable! lol

Ugh I hate hard clays especially for the thin layers you need for opal effects! I haven't actually heard of Sonnet but we're really slow in getting things in Australia. I can't even get the "newer" Fimo gemstone colours in my town so I get them shipped from the other side of the country! Good luck with your suppliers, I know it can be a bit of a pain finding what you need sometimes .

That stinks!! I haven't used the new fimos...but that's because the clay is too soft for my taste. I like something that doesn't start premelted! lol It took me months of looking before I finally tracked down Sonnet. It's a Russian based company with wholesalers sprinkled throughout the world. I first saw it in a YouTube tutorial and have been looking ever since. I want to try all different types of polymer clay because eventually I plan on doing a comparison video for my YouTube channel. Who knows....maybe they will sponsor me!! lol Not a bad idea for you.....see if you can help another company get a foothold in your area by using their stuff and seeing if they will sponsor you!

Funnily enough my Fimos are usually a bit hard... I have a feeling they've been on the shelf for months before it reaches me. I have issues with Sculpey 3 because it feels like a kneadable art eraser.
Sometimes I wonder if it would just be easier to move to Europe since that's where all my clay comes from

LOL....Ya....we are never in the right place at the right time, although quite honestly, I can't complain too much! I have access to more than most I think...just not necessarily all the things I want access to! lol
That was the problem I ran into with Pardo translucent. It was rock hard...would crumble and crumble and crumble before I could finally get it to stick to itself. I started not wanting to work with translucent. Now, I just go for my premo translucent instead of the pardo. Maybe I need a NeverKnead! lol I'll try and explain that purchase to my husband....I need a $150 tool to knead my crumbly clay, otherwise my $15 purchase will go to waste! lol I know that Fimo has a line that is just soft clays...and I haven't been able to locate just regular fimo. Maybe I need to look around some more. I just put a bid in on ebay for some liquid fimo so I am excited to try that.
Thanks for the best wishes about the channel. I really need to get on that. It's been over a year since I decided I wanted to do it, but I want it to look polished and professional, so I have slowly been trying to get things together to make that happen. Currently I am in the process of getting a small studio set up in my office/study, but running into electrical issues. The outlet I want to use won't work, so before I can finish the space I have to be an electrician first. I hate old homes! lol
