Over the summer, I wrote a review of Ronna Sarvas Weltman’s unique polymer clay book called Ancient Modern. Well, now I’ve got a copy to give away!! If you remember, I told you that Ronna’s style is primitive, organic, and full of joy. Now here is your opportunity to drop all the rules and enjoy yourself with clay!

Would you like to have this book? Just leave me a comment below telling me what’s your favorite jewelry style: classic? edgy? cyberpunk? elegant? Whatever description best fits your faves. Next Monday, I’ll be randomly selecting a winner!
I love edgy bead weaving.
I like jewelry that is casual but has some style to it. Not to dressy so it works for everyday wear. Chains and glass beads, but a little swarovski thrown in for sparkle.
Lately, I’ve experimented with polymer clay beads. Like to mix it with metal spacers and chain. Imitation coral is my favorite thing to do with clay – doesn’t endanger the coral reefs and looks as cool.
I love Ronna’s polymer jewelry and would love to see more! I would also love to own a piece or two, but that goes without saying, right?
I really like artsy and unique edgy designs. I would love to win the book! It looks wonderful! Thanks!
I love bold, colorful jewelry with lots of interest. I make enameled pendants and I combine them with glass and stones.
I love jewelry that is a mix of classic with modern, the end result being casual elegance.
i am new to jewellery but love the pandora range and my hubby makes anything with polymer clay and cant wait to get started any advice or books would be great help
I like to go with any style jewelry that i can make with my own 2 hands.I also will use many different types of beads to design my jewelry. I am into learning new ideas and ways to design i mostly use glass or seed beads at this time. Would Love to learn how to make polymer clay Designs.New Books and ideas are wonderful i buy all types to learn new techniques and would love the Book to learn even more
I love jewelry…all of it. When I’m feeling pretty, I want to sparkle to I wear crystals, rhinestones, and faceted gemstones. To Sunday mass, I wear semi-precious necklaces and earrings that class up my Arizona casual church attire. In a business setting, I wear conservative necklaces and bracelets. This is the coolest thing about working with polymer clay. I can make beads that match any outfit combination. Because polymer clay beads can be highly polished, they can mix with my nicest strands of gemstone beads. My favorite kind of jewelry is what I receive as a gift from my husband and daughter.
I do like a lot of looks, but I guess my favorite would be more of a natural look that’s soft and interesting. I think polymer clay is great!
What ? pick a favorite style ?
m.e.
Impossible for me .
I am always so amazed by the wonderful variety of jewelry
designs I can admire from my computer monitor !
My favorite is usually the one I am looking at !
I want it all!!! (Why oh why can’t I win a lottery?)
Admittedly there are things I would love to own, but might not wear.
Some jewelry is pure ART ,some is mostly function .
I am most attracted to designs that have a nice balance of
Wearabilty and WOW!!!
This would be a honor and a great addition to my library.
I have my signature design, but I don’t like to box myself into on style.
I like to try everything.
My style is classic modern. I would like my jewelry to be timeless and not necessarily trendy. Once in a while I step outside the box.
I love it all! I’m just starting to learn, and am beadweaving right now. I’ve always liked “steampunk” style, even before it got the name.
My jewelry style is somewhat natural yet casual with strong themes of Southwestern flair. Not sure quite how to describe it!
I like my jewelry to be a little funky. Sometimes symetrical, sometimes not, but with lots of unusual items to make it interesting. I really like steampunk themes too. I am making some of my own polymer clay beads and love experimenting with surface and shape techniques.
i would say – overly decorative organic or neo-baroque naturals.
I feel like I have an emerging style and I don’t know what to call it. I really like making my own polymer clay beads and cabuchons. I enjoy making seed bead spirals to suspend them and also combining them with glass beads and chain. I am in love with copper and just discovering the beauty of brass. I am also experimenting with more 3D beading on my art quilts. You can find me on Etsy-heatherp22 and Flickr-aquariart.
I like any style that I can make and I try and make all of them. Lampwork is about the only thing I haven’t tried. I love polymer clay!!
I just found out about this on ARTBEAD Scene, hope I’m in time. I prefer using natural elements, organic style, sometimes literal, sometimes more impressionistic.
I love jewelry….period. All styles and media.Im beginning to appreciate polymer clay more and more in my work. Would love to win this book!
I love elegant jewelry that give you that classy look for evening wear and functions. I also love chunky jewelry for the more funky and casual look. Jewelry that real give a person looking to give you that second look and say waaah! now thats beautiful.
I love edgy and elegant, sometimes combined. Thank you for the opportunity to participate. Happy beading.
i lov3e to make contemporary jewelry,but my favorite is to put the past with the current and the future,by doing so i get some really extraordinary pieces..it’s like looking in a crystal ball and seeing the past,present,and future,howw cool is that!!!
I’m a vintage jewelry nut. So much so that I collect and sell it. Love beads, love pins, love it all! I make my own jewelry out of polymer clay.
