Findings Before Baking & Mokume Gane

This photo is an example of inserting my handmade findings into my polymer clay pieces before baking them. My usual method was to make a hole for the finding and then bake or make no hole in my pieces and wire wrap after baking.

This simple set was completed in less than 2 hours. No need to wire wrap the pendants or the earrings.

Since I have begun using suede lace in place of chains or nylon string on some of my pieces, this technique is turning out to be quite useful and a great little time saver.
