Here are some lovely baubles to get your week off on the right foot. Be sure to look at the large image of this polymer clay necklace on Julie Picarello’s Flickr site to appreciate the details.
Her use of the mokume gane process is masterful, relying on vibrant color rather than metal leaf for its accent.
Julie’s web site has some new pieces for your Monday morning viewing pleasure including some great mokume gane examples in her bead gallery. Many thanks to Gin Martin who sent the link.

Excellent work, Julie! I am especially fond of your mokume gane – just amazing patterns and design – it’s clear you spend a lot of time thinking about the patterns and colors when you make them. You are a true inspiration!!! 🙂

The clay work is fabby – but so is the way she puts it all together. The blue and yellow necklace with the wire work is that much more impressive because it has the wow factor.
