Note: Due to the nature of this project and
individual taste, each pendant and earring will be unique in itself.
Feel free to experiment and let your creativity flow! This is a fool-proof
project!!!
Condition all clay with roller or pasta machine until it is soft and
pliable.
Step 1
|
To create the olive green base of the pendant, mix together all colors
except translucent, in small varying amounts until desired marble
or solid color is achieved. It is not necessary to mix the colors
completely if you have achieved a pattern or texture you like.
Hints:
If color is too gray — add sahara and small amount of brown
If color is too brown — add small amount of green
|
Step 2
|
Flatten green marbled mixture to 1/8" with roller and tear out an
asymmetrical square approximately 21/2 to 3 inches.
|
Step 3
|
Begin tearing off pieces of the square until you get the shape
you like. Determine the top and poke one hole on each side
with needle tool.
|
Step 4
|
Texture base with a crunched piece of discarded Fimo® wrapper.
|
Step 5
|
Flatten translucent clay to approximately 1/8" thick. Stamp
image. Allow to dry for a few seconds before touching. You may
lay an extremely thin sheet of translucent over the top of the
image to prevent distortion of the image.
|
Step 6
|
Tear out the image and place it on the base where desired. Add
other asymmetrical shapes of color or translucent clay to the
base and texture if desired.
|
Step 7
|
Roll logs and curl into filigree shapes or add flattened balls of clay
to add additional interest to piece. Embellish with beads and found
objects if desired. Highlight desired areas with PearlEx powders.
|
Step 8
|
When the final look is achieved, bake at 265 degrees for 20-30
minutes.
|
Step 9
|
For earrings, use the same technique only creating smaller versions
to coordinate with pendant.
