I’ve been playing around with clay all week, making 60-70 pendants of various shapes and sizes. They look simple, but take time to form, dry, and sand. I'm going to try sketching on some with a ceramic pencil after bisque firing. I would like to find something new, unique, and interesting to add to my work on Etsy. Along the way I’m learning a lot about clay and glazes and having a lot of fun. So stay tuned!

A while back I was playing around with making clay pendants. I bisque fired everything and they came out great! Then I ordered some special glazes and fired them again a few days ago. (I didn’t glaze everything). Some of my creations came out beautifully others were a disaster. Without going into detail, some of the pieces ended up touching each other in the kiln. Ooops! I had them on a bead tree (kiln furniture) on a thin wire, the wire bent and they touched things they weren’t supposed to touch. Also, I may have overloaded my bead tree because I couldn’t wait for another firing. At least I know what my glazes look like.
What you see in my photos will not end up on my Etsy shop; I’m just playing around, trying to get to know the medium. Tomorrow I plan to break out the clay again for round 2! I can’t wait!
