Polymer Hollow Pendant and

Matching Bangles.

I've always wanted to try a hollow pendant so when I found Cate van Alphen's tutorial (click HERE), I went for it.  For a first attempt, I'm pleased.  I went to Goodwill today and found two bangles that had large resin beads on them.  I covered the resin beads with some of the leftover striped polymer clay and baked them.  I liked the way it all turned out, so I made some earrings too.  How do you get inspired? What makes you want to try a new technique?
