Apoxie Sculpt: First Try

by Sherry.
(Edmonton, Canada)

I’ve been curious about working with Apoxie Sculpt ever since I saw a tutorial featuring the clay and Swarovski crystals.

I ordered a sample kit of all the colours and a truly silly amount of Swarovski chatons. I’d decided I was going to make a pave pendant. Well, that didn’t happen.

A closer look

Here’s what I learned:

* Even the larger rhinestones can be seriously tricky to handle.

* I need to trim my nails before working with clay.

* It felt amazing to make my very own pieces.

The pave style (link, as it turned out) didn’t work, but when I went with a sort of abstract style with a variety of larger rhinestones I got something that pleased me.

Then I made a necklace out of them (fingernail marks and all).

The closest look! See the fingernail marks?

I’m really excited to try different techniques with Apoxie (and I’ve done a lot of watching and reading) but since I created this necklace I’ve hit a depression and my creativity (and finances) have vanished.

I’m hopeful that in few months I will be making more original pendants, drops, links and components.
