[tab title=”Story and Inspiration”]
This is my first necklace in a long while. This colorful and sweet piece was mostly an exercise of getting “comfy” with polymer clay again, after all this time apart.
After going through one of the most challenging and important years of my life in 2011, the urge of making beautiful jewelry again seems a natural manifestation of feeling not only like “myself” again, but feeling like a better version of me (if I dare say). The appetite for creating grew slowly but surely over the last few weeks, and suddenly I knew it was time 
The inspiration for the “Dulzura-Necklace” crystalized not through my eyes, but through my sweet tooth this time. Most afternoons, my husband and I take a 15-minute tea or coffee break together, always with something deliciously sweet to share. Last week as we visited a new bakery in town, I was trying to decide what kind of cookie I wanted, and as the girl at the counter turned to the left to show me their cookie-menu, I saw it: The most beautiful display of palette-colored cakes. I couldn’t believe the artistic expression of their maker. It made me literally melt and acknowledge instantly that baking (of this level) is just an Art as anything we see in museums.
This is my humble celebration of those of you who share this amazing talent . . . or my sweet tooth 
Much love to you all!
