"Dreaming of Morroco" Pendant

By Carole Monahan

Tassels are EVERYWHERE right now. I thought I would add to the craze with my Moroccan inspired necklace.

Materials

Makin's Clay® Black 2 oz

Viva Décor Inka Gold –Platinum

Adirondack inks assorted colors

2 inch Tassel

5 Oval jumprings

Silk cord 24 inches

Toggle clasp

2 fold over cord ends

Tools

Makin's Professional® Ultimate Clay Machine™

Makin's Clay® Professional Tool Kit

Makin's Clay® Floral push mold

Waffle design plunge cutter

Pliers and paint brushes

Directions:

Fill your push mold *remember less is more! Set the push mold aside to set up.

Roll out the remainder of your 2 oz of clay to setting #2 on your Ultimate Clay Machine™.

Cut out the desired shape. I used a plunge cutter. Make holes to hang your tassel and attach jump rings. Embellish the edge with the detail tool from the professional tool kit.

Add the molded piece onto the flat part. I trimmed sections from the molded piece to better fit on the background. You can use another tip from the professional tools sculpting kit to add more details and to help secure the molded item down. Let dry 24 hours.

Apply the Inka gold paste to the raised areas. I suggest a small short bristle brush to get more details.

Let the paste set and dry before adding the alcohol ink colors with a small detail brush.

Now you are ready to add the tassel with one of your oval jump rings and string the necklace as desired. I used a silver silk cord and a toggle clasp to complete the look.
