I was suppose to be in the first reveal for the Bead Soup Party hosted by Lori Anderson. I was paired with a very nice and generous first time participate of the bead soup blog party. Her name is Pat Buchanan. She gave me some beautiful gem stones. I knew I wanted to make something with a trendy tassel. With the beautiful focal gem I made a necklace. It was a great party.

Sunday, March 25, 2012. Wanted to try to create some pendants to resemble the PMC in the Bronze with my pottery in earthenware clay. This technique cuts down on the firing of the pieces. 1st - on bisque I painted the piece in a bronze metallic paint. 2nd - I dry brushed the pieces with purple and greens. 3rd - Sprayed with a matt acrylic spray to seal the pieces. I am satisfied with the colors. Process is easy! Links to this post. Thursday, September 1, 2011.
