Biscuit Pendant
|
By Deana Garnes
Parts list:
87-005 Art Clay Silver 650
61-742-02 Rattail, size #2, black
87-055 Texture plates (set of 24), 5x4"
1. Roll the ACS between your hands into a ball, then flatten to desired thickness. It can be as thick as you want. Put down your lightly oiled texture plate (87-055, dense dots), lay clay on it, press down a little. Put lightly oiled second plate (87-055, plants) on top.
HINT: Rolling your clay out just a little, after making your impressions, spreads your design out a little.
2. Place any lightly oiled third plate down (if desired), and press gently until you have the type of impression you want. Deana went for a light imprint with the third plate.
3. Cut out with small scalloped biscuit cutter. When dried, she used a damp cloth to do a pre-fire finish.
4. Use a straw to make your hole. Let it dry completely to the hard (bisque) stage, then fire for 5 minutes, following product instructions. Drop in a Pyrex bowl with cold water. Post-fire, brush with brass brush and then tumble for 1.5 hours with steel shot and water.
