I'm going to use the same stamp that I used in the previous lesson to demonstrate all the radiations as it will help you to differentiate and decide which technique you want to follow to start with, I'm using this textured piece off play to create this. I simply used to stamp and pressed it into the play to create this textured look. Then I'm using the circle cookie cutter to cut dependent size I want following the same steps I created three pieces. First Variation ISS. You can use this stamp to look itself as a pendant. For that, you just need to add a whole. Using too big on big second variation is if you want the a shimmery look to abandon, you can do so by using pigment powders. I'm using the brand called Bull Eggs in true blue color. They come in variety off colors. You can also use two colors in a single piece to create a radiant effect to our play.

This effect will be more effective if you have a deeply textured clay. You can also use this big months to fully color your play peas. To fully color your play, use a dry pain. Fresh top. Play the pigments. These are some off the examples off how it looks when applied to a deep picture. Cle. I use metal alphabet stamps to create this clay charms. That is a one more option. You can drive it these pigments. After adding it fully, you can remove the pigments from the raced areas using a baby by living the pigments in the deep areas to extend its durability, you can add a court off place after baking has said earlier. You can use a toothpick to make a hole for dependent on Bake it toe complete dependent. Variation number three. For this look, you need to work with the big clay peas after the play is school. Ah, play a court off black paint over it and wipe it immediately toe achieve an antique effect . I used the same technique for the nobs I showed in the introduction. You can see the difference between the orginal and the painted effect. Here you saw the number off ways that you can make a stamped Lippi's. Now it is time to turn thes clay Pisa's independence and make them as a necklace. There are a variety of jewelry findings in the market, which means that our variety off raise You can make this clear pieces into a necklace. I ensure you three different ways. For the first look, you'll need beading, wire drumbeats, lobster clasp on a couple of jump rings. I'm not specifying any measurements here, as it were totally, very based on the beads and the supplies you are using. So always make sure you buy the right measurement of supplies before making individuality. Oh, and I forgot to mention that you will also need players. It is good to have you in One player's has also Sosa's and wire cutter. For the first look, I use green glass beads and some gold beats in between and strung them using the beading wire. I did this for 15 inch inland. You can use any beats off your choice and string it in any order your hardness years. Then I'm jumping to the dependent on added to the center off the beetle string. No, you abandoned is attached to the beater chain. Let's move on to the closure, but take on and off the beading wire at a crew, beat on the lobster glass, then then the beating Boyer and string it again into the crumby and pull it tight. Use players and crumpet. Lock it in place. String the reminding wire into two or three beats and cut the leftover. Repeat the same process on the other side. Use a jumping or the part that comes with the clasp instead of lobster clasp to complete the necklace. For the second look, you'll need suede leather court and caps. E 6000 glue jump rings on lobster class. Squeeze a dab off, flew into the end caps and inside the ends off the leather court into the end. Caps. Ah, lover to dry and you're done with the closure. As you always do. Attach a lobster class using a jumping toe one side off the class on attach jumping to the dependent on. Added to the leather card. Use as many leather courts as you need, depending on the size off the end gap. If you want to wrap Nicolas look, you can use a bigger end cap and attach around 4 to 5 little cards instead. Off to this method is perfect If you want a casual looking necklace. Third, look for this. You'll need a chain around 15 inch inland. Jump rings on lobster clasp this method source of Bullen self. Explain a tree. Attach a lobster clasp, the one end off the chain using a jumping on. Add another jumping toe. The other side finished the look by adding a jumping to the clay peace and attaching it to the chain. If you want all that the length of the necklace, you can use extension links on one side instead off a gentry. This applies to all the method, except for the method where dependent is locked with beads like the first look instead of free flowing. Like the other two methods I have shown here some other ideas off making the stamp actually are. You can make them a two layered piece. I use this metal stamp Oh, to create a base and use the flower shape play on top. If you want more details on this, I will leave a link to this tutorial on my block in the notes section.
