Polymer Clay miniatures as jewelry!http://www.etsy.com/shop/CatrinasToybox

I'm going to talk a bit about measurement. When I first stared making jewelry I made a really stupid mistake. When I measured the length of a necklace I thought you measured one side, from the clasp to the middle. I thought an 18" necklace was 18" from clasp to middle...a 20" was 20" one side.

I was completely wrong and ended up making ridiculously long necklaces. To get a real accurate necklace length you divide the desired length by half. So an 18" necklace would measure 9" from clasp to the middle on one side.

This was an utterly foolish mistake I had to learn on my own.
