The New Tutorial and Necklace

The new tutorial is now available at my web site and Etsy shop.

This tutorial shows how to make a faux porcelain heart-shaped pendant with tiny sculpted orchids, how to make matching necklace ends, and how to put it all together.

There are more than 40 step-by-step pictures and 12 pages of very detailed instructions. I also included links to a few free on-line tutorials to further explain some steps described in the tutorial.



The tutorial covers the following topics:

- shaping the heart pendant base (both before and after baking),

- adding texture to it (with a simple tool made out of common household item),

- highlighting the texture,

- free-hand sculpting of tiny leaves and flowers,

- using mica powders and glaze,

- embedding beads (fresh-water pearls) into polymer clay,

- creating custom necklace ends,

- making simple beaded pendant bail,

- beading a multi-string necklace,

- adding the necklace ends.


As always in my tutorials, the project is intended to demonstrate the techniques, which can be used for creating your own designs.
