A quick share today with some more finished pieces.  The three pendants were created in class and then finished up at home.  

 

The star…

Charms of turquoise, pearl, mystic blue quartz, garnet, and a 14K gold filled seashell.

 

 

The cross…

PMC Cross 2

The stamped pendant…

After the clay was stamped with a design, I added the heart with a syringe filled with slip.

 

 

And here’s a pic of the backs of cross and the star to show how I added the bails.  They were made from 18 gauge fine silver wire and soldered onto the pieces.

If you’re keeping a tally, this is five finished pieces from one 25 gram package of PMC+. And I think I have enough clay left for one more.  So if you thought, like I did, that this material is too expensive for you to try, maybe have another look.  If I can get six fine silver pieces from one $48 lump of clay, I’d say that’s pretty great!
