Key to My Heart

Key to My Heart by Lucy Reese

Hello my fellow clayers/crafters! Who says the love has to stop because February has past? This month, I'm giving you all a "Key to my Heart". It's a simple project using minimal supplies.

I hope you enjoy it!

Supplies:

Makin's Clay® - Black

Jewelry Components-Key and Charms

Christie Freisen Texture Stamp-In the Meadow

Art Alchemy Paint- Turquoise

Inks Gold- Ice Blue

Instructions:

1. Grab a ball of clay to work around the key shank. You may need to add or remove bits of clay to get a heart shape you are happy with.

2. Once you have a shape your satisfied with..sandwich it with the texture stamp to emboss both sides. If it distorts a bit, gently manipulate it back to where it was. Let it dry completely and paint half with the turquoise.

3. To finish up, use the Inka Gold to highlight the raised areas on the heart. At this point, you can seal the heart with Flecto. Add your charms and it's a simple as that.
