Baseball Necklace "PolymerCAFE"

"PolymerCAFE"  magazine chose this necklace as the 4th place winner in its Red, White, and Blue Challenge in the May 2010 issue (Vol.8 No.4)

Our former symphony orchestra was invited to play a concert at a baseball game by a team whose colors were red, white and blue. I made this necklace to jazz up my regular boring black and white summer concert attire. The molded PC baseball equipment was made using adapted Sculpey “My Sports” molds. The cured pieces were carefully antiqued. Thin coiled wire was used to give a sense of movement to the baseballs as they dangle freely. The red and blue PC beads are handmade.
