Golden Peacock Polymer Clay Pendant Collection

 

It is the most satisfying feeling to be able to create beautiful jewelry using products in your own product line! I love experimenting with my Cindi McGee Designs Paisley Peacock silkscreens, texture sheet, and new paisley clay cutters!  These pendants feature one of the silkscreens and the texture sheet.

For Pendant 1 - Peacock Mandala 

Roll white clay to about 1/4” thick. 

Place silkscreen orange side down onto rolled clay sheet. 

Use scraper or squeegee to apply gold metallic paint to peacock mandala image on silkscreen. Lift silkscreen to reveal image, wash silkscreen immediately for later use. 

Let silkscreened image dry. Use round cutter approximately same size as image and cut out image. Let dry for about 20 minutes.

Roll another sheet of white clay about 1/4” thick. Place peacock texture sheet over the sheet and roll with roller to texture the sheet.

Use larger round cutter to cut disc from textured clay sheet. 

Apply gold Metallic Lustre to highlight details of texture

Place a small ball of scrap clay onto textured disc (I offset my focal image to the bottom of the circle). Place the mandala image over the ball of clay and genty press with the palm of your hand to push the edges down and create a “domed” mandala image.

Use extruder to extrude a strand of white clay. Add a touch of tacky glue around mandala image on textured disc. Carefully position the extruded strand to encircle the mandala.

Apply gold Metallic Lustre to outer edges of strand.

Add tacky glue to the edge where the strand meets the mandala and apply golden hot fix crystals around the image. 

Make a small hole at the top center of the textured disc for the cording.

Let dry 24 hours.  

Apply gold Metallic Lustre to outer edges of the textured disc.  

Add gold cording.

For Pendant 2 - Peacock Feather & Paisley Circle 

Roll white clay to about 1/4” thick. 

Place silkscreen orange side down onto rolled clay sheet. 

Use scraper or squeegee to apply gold metallic paint to round peacock feather and paisley  image on silkscreen. Lift silkscreen to reveal image, wash silkscreen immediately for later use. 

Let silkscreened image dry. Use round cutter approximately same size as image and cut out image.

Add a small amount of metallic gold paint to white clay.  Begin to blend just enough to marbleize the clay. 

Roll marbleized clay about 1/4” thick. Use larger round cutter to cut disc.

Apply gold Metallic Lustre to outer edges of both discs

Add tacky glue to the back of the silkscreened disc and mount centered on marbleized base.

Add tacky glue and mount 3 golden hot fix crystals to accent one of the silkscreened paisley images. 

Make two small holes about 1” apart  at the top of the base disc for the cording.

Let dry 24 hours.  

Add gold cording.
