Just had to share some new things I made this week.

| Faux Ceramic Pendant - Trees |
I had bought some Cernit Clay ages ago and had had a little play with it, but not made a lot. Then whilst having had one of those day when nothing goes right, when my pile of scrap clay grows bigger and bigger as everything gets squished, I decided to have another go with it. I am really glad I did.
These pendants and beads are all made with "Basalt" which has a lovely soft green colour with tiny inclusions and when sanded and buffed really looks like Ceramic Clay. I created the picture by "drawing" in the clay and then painted into the texture with burnt umber acrylic paint. Waited for that to dry and then sanded the excess away. I love the slightly aged look to this.
Having posted some pictures onto Flickr and Facebook and asked for some feedback, I had such a lovely response from everyone that I made some more and listed them tonight on Etsy. Pop over to my shop if you would like a closer look.
Here are the other things I made - I would love to know what my lovely bloggers think of them!
