Shell Belle / Pendant

Clay Pendant 

The picture above is a Pendants made with clay. The clay has different impressions of sea shells. Using available sea shells  in class to pick from  and other different other shell that where available.Still using my previous clay pots as my reference found in Pinterest . The impression of sea shell made my clay Pendants to look nice.

After woking with clay and making Pendants the clay is still wet. The still have to stay little bit before going for firing to dry them. 

Shell Belle /Final Clay Work

three clay shell pots

  The inspiration i got to design the shell posts comes from sea shells on Pinterest. This is a final picture of the clays I was busy with But only did 2.Then the next day I worked on the third one.The light white shell is ready to go for bisque fire.Because it was the first clay pots I worked on, it had enough time to dry. The other two needs to wait some days until they turn white like the one on the top left to be ready to put in the fire.
