An Interpretation Of Agate

Agate is a common rock formation often found in volcanic areas, with chalcedony and quartz as its primary components and appears in a wide variety of colours. This is an interpretation of the stone in polymer clay.

Translucent polymer clay has pastels, paint, foil and mica powder added and the random pattern is produced by manipulating and cutting the clay before it is cut into the finished shapes and heat cured. The pieces are then finely sanded and polished to produce a shiny finish, which enhances the patterns.

The earrings are 4.2cm long and are 1.9cm wide and have silver or gold plated fish hooks.
