Chick Bling

Chicktweets is in the process of introducing Chick Bling - adornments for style-savvy thinking chicks and chickettes with a penchant for the fun and silly. I've just completed experimenting with polymer clay to create a range of pendants, bracelets and rings with Victoriana influences (cameos and stuff) and on the other extreme playing with themes of organic matter and planetary shapes.

Sounds very impressive - but I realise I've a long way to go... I've been testing the durability of the stuff I'm making. The rings haven't been very promising, but the pebble charms are doing much better... I'm also thinking of complementing the clay stuff with leather, precious metals and semi-precious stones... But the whole idea is to create thoughtful bling with a green message, and utilising stuff that doesn't chip at the earth's resources too much (think Blood Diamond), which people will not frown at given the current socio-economic climate.

Please tell me what you think!
