Original Designs In Clay

will look great on any silver neckring, chain or cord.
Rather than using a plain jump ring or commercial bale, I prefer to work with a silver color wire and create a simple wire wrap design to make the loop you will use to attach it to a necklace, cord or hoop. I also add a colored glass or stone bead to the wire.
The clay disk is 1-1/2” in diameter, 3/16” thick, but the piece is approximately 2-¼” tall with the wire and bead.
This is an original design and entirely hand crafted by the artist.

You are bidding on the pendant only (necklace available separately.)
It is handmade of slab rolled earthenware clay, cut to shape and the original cat design is hand painted using a mixture of underglaze pigments. After it is fired in a kiln to approximately 2000 degrees, and has cooled for 24 hours, it is dipped in a clear glaze to cover the entire piece. Then it is fired a second time.
Grace's work has been featured in many juried arts and crafts shows throughout Michigan and several states. She has won awards for her work and been included in many Invitational and Museum Shows. Every step of this piece was created by the artist, from pouring the clay slip, to painting the design and firing in the kiln. Every design is original and copyrighted by the artist. Because each piece is handmade, no two are exactly alike.
