Polymer clay is a pretty common material with jewelry makers, but Alisa Lariushkina is using it in a way we’ve never seen before. She’s using clay to craft some of the most colorful, quirky, and offbeat jewelry that you’ll ever come across, using her unique visual style to bring it to life.
Lariushkina found major success with her brand Liska Flowers since she started working with Liska Flower, and we’ve seen her create all sorts of jewelry over the years. She mostly focuses on brooches and pendants, but she’s no stranger to making smaller objects, such as earrings.
As for the themes explored in her work, her jewelry usually takes shapes of flowers, animals, birds, and other things she finds cute.
“I love Japanese polymer clay and at first, I’ve been creating flowers. Gradually I came up with my own style of unique jewelry. I curl each pattern with my hands, then many, many pieces add up to a greater work of art,” Lariushkina told Bored Panda.
Since embarking on this creative journey, she has attracted over 80,000 followers to her Instagram page, and her quirky jewelry isn’t the only reason why. She also enjoys crafting polymer clay panels in a similar style, usually depicting beautiful landscapes and the natural world.
