My Attempt at a Tiki Pendant - Silver Clay - Other Crafts

It is just put together in approximate shape then carved + more bits of silver clay added to get the raised shapes (lips, tongue etc). The silver clay is quite expensive indeed. I am going to try to make some more with normal coloured polymer clay. These will be much cheaper to make. I make jewelry as a hobby and wanted to start making my own pendants so gave polymer a go. The silver clay I bought can be fired on a hob (you can get the stainless steel mesh and mesh cage from some arts and craft websites). The pendant is very heavy which demontrates how much silver it actually contains. If you follow the link in my profile you can see more of the jewelry I make.
