Bat Wing Pendant
Hello Darklings I haven't posted anything in a little while because my camera had broken so I couldn't take any photographs of any of my new jewellery. I couldn't even take photographs of my fun day at the Culloden Battlefield craft fair!
It was an amazing day as so many people were captivated by my jewellery, which I have to admit was a great feeling. Even better was that most of these people were not of an alternative persuasion!
This is one of the pendants that was sold at the craft fair and the fact that I would not replicate this pendant made the buyer want it even more so that she had something that was unique just for her.
Bat Wing Pendant
So while I was awaiting my camera to be fixed I was making quite a fair bit of jewellery, mostly earrings as I have to re-stock my polymer clay. I enjoy sculpting jewellery with my hands and when I don't have any materials to sculpt jewellery I feel quite lost!
Before I ran out of polymer clay though I did make this bat wing pendant, at first I thought it may make quite a cool single earring, but it is quite a sizeable piece of jewellery and I have to remember not everyone likes big bold jewellery! So I decided to make it a pendant hence why it has a silver wire decoration. This also acts as the bail for the pendant.
The iridescent colours inside of the bat wing were achieved by using mica powders, these are great when working with polymer clay. Any chance I get to use them I will! To keep the colours looking fresh I coat the polymer clay pendant in a glaze of resin. This also adds strength to my
jewellery especially when there are very delicate decals on my jewellery and this just makes the polymer clay jewellery last longer.
I haven't put a glaze on this pendant yet as I have other projects I'm working on as well, which I will post soon.
