Faux Ceramic Pendants
Designed by Lisa Haney
Recently, I was checking out the Tutorials
and Techniques for Makin’s Clay® Board on Pinterest and came across pictures
of faux ceramic pendants posted by MossyOwls. I thought this would be a nice effect to try
on Makin’s Clay®. Since Makin’s Clay® is an air-dry, no-bake clay, I
chose to use Tim Holtz® Adirondack® Alcohol Ink mixed with JudiKins Diamond
Glaze™ to achieve the faux ceramic effect.
I hope you agree that they turned out beautifully!
Supplies:

Makin’s® Tools

Makin’s Professional®

Other Materials:
Bail
Corn Starch
Paint Brush
Small Mixing Cup
Straw - thin
Tile
Method
Roll out a sheet of white Makin’s Clay® on the largest
setting of the Makin’s
Professional® Ultimate Clay Machine®. Lightly rub corn starch on one side of the Coils Makin’s
Clay® Texture Sheet. Place the sheet
of clay on the texture sheet on the side with the cornstarch and roll both
through the clay machine. Roll out another sheet of white on the #5
setting.
Place the textured sheet on top of the thinner, backing
sheet. This
backing sheet is only to
make the pendant a little thicker.
Cut out a circle with the Makin’s Clay® Round
Cutter. Tidy up any sides if needed.
Poke a hole in the top of the pendant with a thin straw.
Pour JudiKins
Diamond Glaze™ into a small mixing cup.
Add the one drop at a time until the
desired color is achieved. Usually one
or two drops will be enough for pastel colors but if you like dark colors, drop
away! Mix thoroughly with the paint
brush.

Holtz® Adirondack® Sail Boat Blue Alcohol Ink 
Paint a thin layer of the tinted glaze around the edge of
the pendant. Lay it on a tile.
Paint a generous layer of the tinted glaze on the front
of the pendant letting it pool in the lower areas. Let dry.
Paint the back and let dry. You only need to do this step if you want the
back finished. You could write a nice
message on the back instead.
Add a bail and then it’s ready to be added to any chain
or cord for a necklace.
Makin’s Clay® has tons of great cutters and eight different sets of texture sheets
(each sheet has an innie and an outie, one on each side, giving you 8 textures
per set) that can be mixed and matched to make hundreds of different pendants. Also, the alcohol inks can be used as is or
combined for an endless array of colors.
