Polymer clay DiscChic jewelry - Mystery revealed! FREE polymer clay tutorial and video

DiscChic jewellery by Iris Mishly

Secrets aren't meant to stay secrets - right?
At least not when you're teaching and sharing it with the polymer clay community :)

Back when I started my DiscChic jewellery, I wasn't imagining the curiosity these beads will create.

The DiscChic jewellery were created using reused computer components. 

I discovered them accidentally.

An associate showed me several aluminium parts disassembled, he planned to discard them for recycling so I instantly told him i'll ensure they'll be reused in the most outstanding method!! 

In my polymer clay studio! :)

Right after collecting all of them, I started creating jewelry from them.

Their “bezel-like” qualities made them ideal for creating beads & being made of metal made them best to combine with polymer clay.

In addition, their “donut-like” form was fantastic for stringing them in exciting innovative techniques.

The DiscChic tutorial was a hit when it was published several years ago.

Until recently I've kept my components mysterious, however, I'm prepared to reveal my personal little secret and be pleased to see your designs, having fun with these interesting findings.

Who knows, right after viewing my online video you might find a treasure concealed in your office drawers.

So, what exactly are these discs?

Well, they're aluminum discs concealed within 3.25 computer floppy discs,

Yes, those no longer to be found in personal computers, the ones we used a long time ago prior to Dvds or USB flash drives.

I already got dozen responses letting me know so many people still save them and happy to give them a new purpose!

Polymeri Online 5.6.14 | Ksenia's polymer clay turtle pendant, Wendy's distortion minimising, Jayne's detailed millefiori canes, The new LEGO slicer & Students Cosmic pride

It's been 2 weeks since the launch of the new PPE (PolyPediaOnline Express) and your feedback is wonderful! Thank you so much all for your support!

Yesterday was the last holiday of the year (before announcing the next jewish new year) and after celebrating with endless diary food, the fridge is full and I can spend more time on posting and less time on cooking! :)

Dolgopolova Ksenia’s turtle pendant

Ukraine artist Dolgopolova Ksenia’s polymer clay work is all about details. Little details. 

Her work is so delicate & intricate ranging from flowers, jewelry, figurines, elaborated pendants, brooches and more. According to her website she is working with clay for the past 4 years. Her flickr gallery is a treat to the eye.
Among the materials she frequently uses are - Polymer clay, acrylic paints, liners for glass, waxed cord, fragments of shells, glassy beads, metal accessories and more!

It was hard to choose just one artwork to feature here but eventually I chose the turtle pendant she posted on FB. So beautiful.

Wendy's scrap top and bottom wrappings

Wendy Jorre de St Jorre was mentioned in PolymeriOnline blog but her recent cane caught my eyes. She is wrapping her round canes top and bottom with scrap clay to minimize leftovers after reducing.

Her trees project is beautiful, she is inventing her own botanical trees types and I am sure that her final collection will be breathtaking. What a dedication!

Jayne's intricate millefiori canes

Speaking of millefiori canes, take a look at Jayne Dwyer beautiful owl cane! The details are so beautiful! Don’t miss her cat cane as well.

She definitely has a good hand with canning, there are so many of them in her Paper Moon Jewelry FB page - Flowers, lobsters, lighthouses, birds and more...

Cat's Lego Slicer

Nina Fletcher shared this ingenious machine in her FB page – Lego Slicer?

She found this brilliant photo on Cat Szetu flickr gallery. 

Is this the new age of millefiori slicing? I didn’t check but I'm curious to know if lego plastic bricks are polymer compatible. Innovation!
