Not only did I gift myself a Flat Lap for Christmas, I also got a Art Clay Silver & Copper Kit. (Apparently I was in a shopping mood at the end of the year.) Anyhoo's, here is one of my first pieces that didn't fall apart on me (*sigh*). The top rock in the cairn is a real little beach pebble - which I must admit that I had a different one and my husband was bored and picked through my pile and swapped it for this one. I oxidized the pendant, epoxied in the pebble, lacquered everything and added an oxidized chain/clasp. It ain't fancy, and I have a lot of skills to work on, but I'm pretty darn happy.

I LIKE IT! I like it a lot. I'm a sucker for simplicity and believe me it's not as easy to do as it looks. Your design is very good and your execution looks flawless to me. You go, girl!

I like it ,too. The design is wonderful. Adding the pebble on top is a real winner. I look forward to seeing more from you !

Very nice and you should be proud of you piece! I don't know anything about art clay and I'm a tad confused. Is the pendant made of copper sheet or copper art clay?

Is the pendant made of copper sheet or copper art clay? connrock The pendant is made from copper clay, rolled out and cut. I went for the Art Clay brand because it can be fired in a SpeedFire Cone. (which I got to fire my silver - if I ever suck up enough courage to work with the silver that is!).

Thanks for the info on the copper art clay. After seeing your copper pendant I wouldn't have any fears of working with the silver clay! connrock
