janzio handmade pendants, jewelry and accessories
Thanks to artists like Jan Ziozios, polymer clay is fast becoming one of my favorite mediums. Jan alternates between a variety of techniques; what initially caught my eye were her beautiful image transfers, which feature multiple layers that include birds, butterflies and text for a lovely collage look. She coordinates each piece with different necklaces that include braided cord, goldtone chains and beads.
Not all of her pieces are image transfers; Jan also stamps images directly onto the polyclay. The overall look is fairly simple but cute; one of my favorites is her “So Ugly He is Cute” pin, which features a housefly of all things. Almost passed up at a local shop because of its ugliness, it has turned out to be one of her most popular pieces in her Etsy store, JanZio!

Thank you so much for featuring my work! The Bird Necklaces have been very popular, selling almost as quickly as I can make them.
