Polymer Clay Tutorial Silk Screen Hamsa Hand Pendant

Join me to make these colorful silk screened polymer clay Hamsa hand pendants.  We'll use a silk screen and DecoArt Americana paint to lay the base pattern and then add colorful bits of clay to add zing!    The Hamsa hand is thought to be a protective sign. It is also thought to bring it's owner happiness, luck, health, and good fortune.  Hope you enjoy this project.

More Silkscreen on Polymer Clay

The Colorado Mile High Polymer Clay Guild's Tina Gugeler gave a class in making your own silk screens from photo emulsion sheets.  How fun to create your own designs and turn them into unique screens.   Here's my screen and the sample shapes that will transform into earrings or pins. 

Polymer Clay Silk Screen Necklace

Here's the necklace I created using the silk screened polymer clay from my demo in the last post.  I used scrapbooking elements including brads to lock the pieces together and eyelets to finish the holes where the chain joins the necklace.  The brads allows for the pieces to move so the main circles can be re-positioned. This would look nice with a white button down, peeking out of the collar.

Product Demo - Sculpey Clay Silk Screen Kit

I've been wanting to try silk screening for quite a while.  At one of my recent guild meetings, the new Sculpey products were demonstrted.  I couldn't wait to try the Clay Silk Screen Kit so ran out to my local craft store and picked one up.  I hadn't ever tried silk screening and was thrilled with the results.  I did a video demo below that I hope you enjoy.  Leave me a comment and tell me how you like the demo and whether you've tried silk screening.
