How does she do it?

     This eclectic jewelry is created by Salita Timmermeyer using colored polymer clay. Every color in each design is actually a different piece of clay. There is absolutely no paint used, whatsoever.

     Using different techniques, Salita combines colored canes of clay to create the beads. The canes are repeatedly stretched and cut as other designs are added.

     The completed cane is finally reduced by further stretching to the sizes of the beads.

     Each stage of making the canes is done completely by hand. The piece is then finished

     Because each piece is completely hand-made, no two are exactly alike and once the design canes are used, that image is gone forever.

     This renders each and every piece unique.
