Steampunk Owl Pendant by Patricia Krauchune

Instructions:

On the "Scales" texture sheet, roll out the black clay to 1/4" thickness. Leaving the clay on the texture sheet, use the Crinkle heart shape cutter to form the background of the piece.

Make a bale from copper wire and use the Krazy® Glue to attach to the top of the heart. Next texture the surface of the heart using the threaded bolt to form a crosshatch pattern.

Start gluing the watch parts with Krazy® Glue to form an owl. I used the two larger gears for the eyes, a smaller gear on top of one of the larger gears and held them in place with a small screw. I used a glass head pin to hold the other eye parts in place. Continue to add watch parts until you are satisfied with the look of the owl. I used a fine point tool from the Professional Tool Kit to do some texturing on the owl's body. Let dry overnight before removing from the texture sheet.

Paint the back and edge of the heart with the Createx™ Pearl Copper. Next I painted the outer portion of the owl with DecoArt® Dazzling Metallics in Worn Penny and inside the owl's body in Splendid Gold.
