My love of weaving seed beads and my delight in working with polymer clay have merged in these unique pieces.  I have combined a variety of polymer clay shapes, all finished in the raku style I use for my Art Deco pieces, seed beads woven into freeform or geometric shapes.  Most pieces include my signature woven bead embellishment.  Creating these pieces requires several steps and many, many hours -- weaving all those tiny seed beads one at a time by hand takes a lot of time! How I make these.

The pieces shown here are unique. I would be honored to create a piece just for you; if you see something you like and want something similar to it; perhaps in different colors, let me know.  Remember that each piece is unique, so although I can create something similar, it will not be exactly the same.  I think that if you own a Linda Shea woven bead and polymer clay pendant, no one else should have a pendant exactly like it!

A cutout triangle fades from dark yellow gold at the base to forest green at the peak.  It sits on a triangle of woven beads.  The woven bead embellishment and woven bead bail are golden amber beads with a touch of green scattered throughout.

Another member of my Art Deco collection, the center of this pendant is a polymer clay half circle in burgundy wine, teal green, and antique gold.  It sits on seafoam green beds which sits on a base of pale rose pink beads.  The beaded embellishment is seafoam.

Earth tones abound in this Art Deco inspired pendant.  A salmon polymer clay arch peeks out of matte dark seafoam seed beads.  It sits on a base of copper/bronze beads with a touch of green.  The light salmon woven bead bail complements the salmon polymer clay arch.

This unique pendant is also inspired by an Art Deco design.  A strip of iridescent light navy beads sits on a base of moss green beads and is topped with white woven bead triangles.  The stair-stepped top makes this pendant especially interesting.

Now this is truly a one-of-a-kind freeform pendant!  Each triangle on the multi-colored polymer bead has a different texture. The black woven bead base provides a wonderful contrast to the blue, green, red, and purple in the polymer clay bead, which is secured with tiny 14 kt gold filled beads.  A hint of light moss green in the embellishment adds interest to this unique piece.
