Terracotta and polymer clay necklace

This necklace is my experiment using polymer clay and terracotta.The beads of the necklace is made of polymer clay.The pendant is made of terracotta.


I have given colors of peacok feather for the pendant and black polymer clay is used for beads.


Terracotta jewelry making is a little bit consuming because we have to carve out the shape first ,then it should get dry.I use air dry clay.It will normally take 1-2 days to get dry.Then we have to paint it and we should let it dry.It will take another half day.Then a varnish coating should be given so the color will not go.But the end result after all this hard work is too good.We get lovely handmade ornaments.

Polymer clay is very easy to use.We don't have to work very hard like that of terracotta.Polymer clay is very easy to handle also.After making the desired shape only we have to do is to bake it.
