Golden Elegance

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Retro / Vintage, Classic, Traditional, Romantic


Materials

Polymer Clay Acrylic Paint Metal C-Ring Metalic Gold Leaf

What was your inspiration?

This was the second faux setting I created the faux stone just needed something airy & light. My faux stone was the inspiration for this peice.

What are you most proud of?

How metalic the setting turned out. To me it looks just like antique brass.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't make your vines/ropes too thin, clay is fragile & can shatter if dropped after firing. Having said that I've never had this happen to a peice of jewelry although I have had other types of items break( I used to sculpt Mermaids & Fairies & had quite the problem with breakage.).

Well...Thank you so much. Yes I did & I'm starting to blush... This was the first peice where I made the frame & I was a little nervous that it would be too fragile, but it seems to be fairly sturdy. I didn't like the first round of photos I took of some of my peices thats why older peices are just now being posted. I have a few more to come( I stayed up all night last night taking photos).

Did you use black clay with gold paint/glaze over it?
