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!

Adorable! I love the Ivy leaves.
They are lovely. What is basalt? A clay color?
Those are great! I like that they look like stone, but don't have the weight that actual stone would.
These are lovely. I am going to have to try Cernit if that is the effect that brand of clay can give.
Thanks so much Stacy, I love leaves :)
Hi Roberta, yes Basalt is the colour of the clay.
Hi Rin, that is one of the great things about PC, it is so lightweight and comfortable to wear:)
Thanks Julee, I am definitely going to try some of the other colours too!
Beautiful = I am a total beginner so have always been in awe of your fantastic work
they are gorgeous, such a great colour. I have a couple of plain coloured packets of cernit sat here waiting to be experimented with - might have to get some of that basalt though!
Thank you so much Lottie!
Ooh yes Cara, go play with it, would love to see what you make!
