Jewelry: Happiness pendant

Happiness pendant

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Torch-Fired Precious Metal Clay »

Instructions

The hard part was transferring the pattern to the clay. I cut out a stencil in paper and used ink to transfer the design, but it ran pretty badly. I'd love to hear other ideas for transfering a design.

I make the bail and the pendant separately, then used slip to join them before firing.

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Unisex

Style: Funky, Mod, Hipster, Casual

PMC3, liver of sulfur

Delicious! I admire your bail and pendant work. I'm now trying to figure out photopolymer and imagepac for image transfer -- to make stamps of my drawings.

Hi Nancy! I like this - nice and substantial. I love a piece with some heft to it. That's a lovely carving job too. You might enjoy experimenting with a product called 'scratch-foam'; it is a very fine grained styrofoam. You can use a stylus or ball point pen in order to incise a design on it. Then it becomes a shallow bas-relief mold you can use to create a raised design in your wet clay. http://www.amazon.com/Scratch-Art-Scratch-Foam%C2%AE-Board-pack/dp/B000KIEBJI. You will have a raised design instead of a 'carved' one, but all the drawing is done on the foam. I would love to see what some students can do with this medium! Thanks for posting your project. it's great!

Thank you. I'm going to try the scratch foam and use cold mold to make a mold from that.
