It is sealed within the chrysalis and I really love the idea wearing a prayer, an appreciation, a wish or a hope for something. I imagine that it will spread it´s wings and fly off to come true.
The chrysalis is made from a tutorial by the artist Lori Wilkes published in the magazine Belle Armoire Jewelry.I love her idea of the metamorphosis and the stages the caterpillar goes through to become truly beautiful and able to fly.
I made a few of these pendants earlier and you can see them here. This one has the word create on it.
I honor the ability to create and express myself through what I make. To me it is a gift.
I applied some slices of an old cane on it. The colors are made using a skinner blend and the chrysalis is textured and painted after baking.
I happen to be very pleased with the colors. All that learning about colors in knitting has certainly paid off!!!
I made a ring from the leftovers to fit the chrysalis.
It is so nice to create in polymer clay. I will never ever regret learning that. I always go back to it and enjoy every minute.
What a lovely idea to put a message or prayer into your polymer clay pieces! I do the same with my prayer flags; it's out there even though no one will ever see it.

DeleteEn kjempegod idé med å legge inn en tekst på smykkene dine. Fin måte å forsterke en betydning med både fargene, formen og budskap.
ReplyDeleteTusen takk Helle!!!

ReplyDeleteThank you dear Stacy - I sure do wish you did!!!!! Simply to see you and give you a hug!!
DeleteI love the idea of wearing a secret message that only you know about. The colors you chose look very well together, and you are just the smartest one for making a matching ring!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Debbie!!
DeleteI found your site searching for info about my chrysalis, it was formerly of course, a cute little caterpillar I found in my front hall after I brought my plants in overnight when there was a freeze. So I kept it in a caterpillar house in my room and fed it leaves from the plants I found it on and tonight I found it had become a chrysalis after several weeks! I wondered what type it was so was looking it up when I found these lovely necklaces! I was unable to read the language on the link when I clicked on Lori Wilkes, it was some kind of asian letters? Anyway, if you have instructions or a link in English or decide to start selling them again, please let me know! I love them! Thank you!
