In the autumn the leaves turn colors and fall from the trees, bringing new awareness to their beautiful textures. And in the spring, the new leaves and flowers inspire us after a long dreary winter. What can we do with these leaves and flower petals? Use them with your polymer clay, of course! This tutorial shows how to make a pendant from polymer clay, mica powder (such as Pearl-Ex or even eye shadow) and leaves. You can color the pendant any way you like, using the shimmery mica to bring richness to the textures.

This tutorial is a great way to learn the process of creating a pendant from polymer clay. Learn tricks for working neatly, how to create a bail to hang your pendant, and how to make the pendant look finished.

    This was fun! I’m a beginning beginner and still made a pendant I was happy with. The instructions were clear and well-illustrated with photos. The tutorial for this small project makes beautiful results accessible to anyone and it’s a wonderful introduction to the fun and satisfaction we can have playing with poly clay.

    I love this tutorial. I find myself looking at leaves differently now, wondering if they would work well in this tutorial. The tutorial is easy to understand and the end results are beautiful.

    It’s not often someone comes across a tutorial that makes little idea-sparks fly in their head… but this is one of them.
    I found Ginger’s tutorial to be clean, concise and oh-so-inspirational. (also a great way to practice applying mica powders, because MY what a mess I make with those!)
    The descriptions coupled with her photos make for an easy to follow tutorial. If anything, I would call this a Gateway Tutorial.
    I got a little taste of her work, and I just had to go for more!

    This tutorial arrived at the exact time that I wanted to do an autumnal piece featuring fall leaves. My earlier efforts turned out badly, but your tutorial allowed me to produce a lovely pendant. Mica powders proved to be one of the missing links to success, so much so that I also made leaf earrings to go with the pendant. Then I made a bracelet, as part of the set. I have lost track of the number of compliments I’ve received. Thank you so much for a rewarding experience.

    This was my first tutorial from the Blue Bottle Tree and I loved it. It taught me so much about using mica powders and using natural objects to create a design or pattern. I’ve used it many times. My close friend, Nancy, liked my first pendant so much that she bought it on the spot!

    Thank you for all that you do to help those of us who don’t know how to do the tests on different items. I have several of your lessons and love how clear and easy to do they are. I really like the way you do your sea glass. I also have a bracelet piece you made and am very pleased with it. I was able to make a easy bracelet with it. love your newsletter and hope you will keep up the good work,
