| Arabian Nights Labradorite Polymer Clay Necklace |
Her Labradorite pendant above is not a metal piece but one wrought with polymer clay as if it were crafted by a metal smith! Likewise with the scarab beetle creation below - an Egyptian inspired steampunk design!
Aniko is masterful with dark grey and black polymer clay. The design below is from her
Dark Knight Fantasy collection.
Aniko says the art of Hans Rudolph Giger, the award winning designer for the movie “Aliens” inspired her Prometheus bracelet below which "embodies the biomechanical/gothic feel of his earlier work." Aniko is also known for her amazing polymer clay journals. They are exquisitely detailed. The owl journal below was a custom order.

Aniko also has an Etsy store.
