GEARED HEART PENDANT by Patricia Krauchune |
I love using small pieces of left over clay to make a new project. Nothing goes to waste if you use Makin's Clay®!
Supplies:
Small piece of dried Makin's Clay® (any color)
6 Jump rings
Large, medium and small gear
Watch stem
DecoArt® Extreme Sheen Copper paint
Tin paint, Aged Bronze paint
Paintbrushes
Small screw
Patina paint
Drill to make small holes (or similar tool - Makin's Clay® is easily drilled with a pick tool, even after it is dry!)
Craft knife or carving tool
Clay tool to make "carved" lines
Jewelry pliers
Bead chain
Krazy® Glue or strong clear drying adhesive such as Beacon 527®
Makin's Professional® Cutting Mat
Instructions:
Draw a heart shape on a piece of dried clay.
Carve out the heart shape and refine the edges.
Drill small holes as shown in the picture.
Attach jump rings to the holes you just drilled.
Texture the heart by carving some lines.
Start layering part by first painting on copper, tin, and then aged bronze metallic paints.
Stack the three gears starting with the largest and ending with the smallest. Push a watch stem into the holes in the gears and glue to the heart front.
Add a tiny screw to the base of the heart.
Lastly, use a little patina paint to age the piece.
Add bead chain.
