Here is my photo diary of how I made a round pendant.
|
I formed some scrap clay into the rough round shape I wanted the pendant to be by warming it and pressing against my tile work surface. |
|
I used 2 sheets of this purple clay rolled out on a fairly thin setting on my pasta machine. Onto one of the sheets I laid thin slices of an extruded cane I had made and smoothed with an acrylic rod to make a veneer. |
|
The other sheet of purple clay was used to cover both top and bottom of my rounded scrap clay. |
|
I used circular cutters to cut out a piece of the smoothed cane veneer sheet and also another smaller piece of the plain purple sheet. I laid these on top of the pendant, off-centre. |

I completed the pendant by wet sanding with 3 different grits of sandpaper then buffing to a shine. I attached a silver bail to the back for hanging from a chain. |
