Here is the necklace that I made. I first rolled out the AC to 1mm thick, then I used a skeletonized leaf to add the texture. I then used a little heart utter to cut out the shapes before I put some holes in.
I then dried them in the oven and used my torch to fire all of the hearts. When they were cool I buffed them up to a high shine and LOS them. Then I polished them up again and made them into the earrings and the necklace. The ear wires and the chain are sterling silver. The earrings hand at about 2inches and the necklace is 17inches long so that it sits nicely on the collar bone.I had so much fun making these, and I think they are quite good for a first go, but then I would! lol :0)
Here are some excellent Metal Clay artists that are awesome!
