Handmade bead necklaces by Rachel Wightman of Not Tuesday

Sydney-based Rachel Wightman is the designer behind these super cute handmade necklaces, made from simple polymer clay (ie, Fimo!) beads. Rachel worked as an interiors stylist in magazine-land for over 10 years before becoming a mum 2 years ago, and finding a new creative outlet. A failed experiment with resin led Rachel to polymer clay, and it wasn't long before she was hooked! I love the unexpected colour combinations and chunky organic forms - very Wilma Flintstone. Or perhaps more Betty Rubble?

Rachel launched 'Not Tuesday' in May this year, and sells her sweet designs on Etsy and in a few retail stores listed here.
