When we were on holiday Martin found some beautifully decorated crosses. I decided I'd have a go at making some out of clay. I experimented with black and a mixture of brown clays. Before baking I coated them in micaceous iron oxide so they would take perfect pearls easier.
And this is how they turned out. The black one was covered with the interference perfect pearls collection and various metallics were used on the brown mix. I threaded beads onto two pieces of wire, worked a spiral from the centre and wrapped it around the crosses.
These came out really interesting, great colouring :D
ReplyDeleteoh like the multi coloured one and love the metal and bead detail so pretty

Love these raw and finished raw the brown one looks kinda knurled and textured. Baked and the black one is glowing would say wicked but wonder if thats right for a cross! LOL XOXO Zoe
