Glazed Poppy Pendant 
Designed by Cindi McGee 

I love the effect of tinted Diamond Glaze™ on Makin's Clay® - it reminds me of fired ceramics.   Tinting is easy, there are a variety of coloring options, two of which I'm sharing today.

Makin’s® Clay Tools - Roller 
Makin’s® Cutting Mat
Makins® Clay Cutter Set - Oval

JudiKins™ Diamond Glaze™ 
Food coloring - red, blue 
Ranger® Adirondak Alcohol Ink - Bottle Green 
Fine paintbrushes 
Jump ring, closure
Red ribbon
Jewelry pliers, pin/needle to make hole

Roll white Makin’s Clay® using clay roller to about 1/8” thick. 

Use largest oval clay cutter to cut oval.  Let dry about 1 hour. 



Ink poppy stamp with Surfacez® permanent black ink pad and stamp onto clay oval.  Let dry. 

Use pin to make hole at top of pendant for jump ring. 


Mix small amount of Diamond Glaze™ with one drop red food coloring.  

Use fine paintbrush to paint red glaze onto poppy petals.  








Mix small amount of Diamond Glaze™ with one drop Bottle green alcohol ink.

Use fine paintbrush to paint stem, center of poppy, partial leaf and seed pod.
