made some more pendants tonight:

Using Sculpey or Sculpey Premo, shape the pendant and either make a hole or use wire to shape a hook (that you will insert before baking).

Apply leafing, emobossing powders, Pearl Ex pigments, glitter, foil, etc. On these I texturized the clay by using rubber stamps. Use a dye ink or Brilliance pigment inks.

Bake for 12 minutes at 275 degrees.

When cool, push pendant face down in a clear emobossing ink pad then coat with a clear embossing enamel (Judi Kins 'Amazing Glaze' works best). Heat with an emossing gun/heat tool until the layer of enamel is molten - while it's still hot, add another coat of clear enamel powder. Repeat until you acheive a glassy finish.

Be careful - the enamel (and the heat tool) get VERY hot! I burned myself 3,984 times.
