Description:

This lesson is broken down in 6 parts. Learn by detailed step by step to make molds from objects and then create cabochons or pendants simulating antique ivory/bone carvings with realistic cracks and a worn appearance.
Some very basic materials and tools are required.

Even though the detailed photographic instructions should make this even accessable to a beginning clayer, I do recommend some knowledge in how to condition clay. A link for my blog on how to condition clay is also included with the instructions.

Steps are broken down into these parts:

~Choosing an object and making a mold
~Creating a mold
~Mixing the ivory or bone clay color
~Making a copy from your mold
~Antiquing and cracks
~Worn and aged look

Tutorial is very detailed with 48 photos, 42 steps and 16 pages

Thanks Dani and Eni :) I use these in bead embroidery and they make the embroidery look richer. These are great when one wants a less sparkly and more earthy/natural look.
