Lolly beads

after making lots and lots of dollhouse foods, I started making bigger stuff out of polymer clay - lolly beads to make necklaces bracelets and earrings

I had a lot of practice looking at lollies and then eating them before I started trying to make them, my favourites are spearmint leaves, jet planes and licorice...

It took a fair bit of practice but finally got them how I wanted them then started supplying them to a local shop - La Dolce Vita in Westfield St Lukes, about 3 years ago and also selling them on trademe and more recently at craft markets like Crafternoon-tea and Love handmade. Each one is different depending on the mood/candy craving of the day

here's some photos of a couple

The necklaces come in 2 sizes, a shorter one which is suitable for children or people who like them a bit tighter or a longer one for people who like them that way! The bracelets also come in a couple of sizes (:
