Steampunk Heart pendant

I love steampunk! Bet you already new that about me, didn't you.

I recently got this sun cured resin that I've been itching to try so I sculpted this steampunk heart pendant, cut and smooshed out a space for the watch gears and then after baking and painting the pendant I tried out the resin. I LOVE this resin! I've also used it to give my doll's eyes a nice watery look that you just can't beat. The resin is Gel du Soleil. It's a bit pricey but a little goes a long way.

Creative Paperclay® Heart pendant

My newest tutorial using Creative Paperclay®

Thanks for stopping in and I hope you enjoy the tutorial.


Material list:
Creative Paperclay®
wire - for the bail
tool to stamp in your texture
acrylic paints

1. Make a paperclay ball, about the size of a walnut. Actually, the amount of clay you use really depends on the size you want your finished piece so play around. If you use too much simply make the ball smaller and reshate again.

2. Start shaping the clay into a heart. I first roll the ball in my hands to form a cone shape and then squish and moosh the clay into a heart shape. This is play time so have fun and don't worry if your heart isn't a perfectly shaped heart. I kinda like the wonky look, I think it gives the pendant more character.

3. Insert your wire bail into the top of your pendant. Since mine is a wonky heart I inserted the bail so the heart will hang at an angle

4. Next we stamp in our texture. I used a leather stamping tool for my texture but you can use whatever you have handy. Stamp the texture deep enough to make it look like it's inside the heart, not on the surface of the heart.

5. Once you get the look you like let the pendant completely dry. What? We're done? Yep, how easy is this! :)

6. After it dries completely you can paint it . I started by painting the entire pendant black. I then dry-brushed metalic gold and red. That gives the pendant an aged look that I love. After the paint dried I sprayed a couple of layers of polyurathane on it to protect the paint. All that's left to do is sting it on a cord or ribbon and you have a beautiful heart to wear.

Melting Heart pendant

Just finished a few heart pendants. This is the only one I got a half decent picture of. Hubby was using my camera the other day to take pictures of the snow in our yard and he changed a few settings. Lol, now I have to remember how I had it set up. Oh well ..... such is married life!



It's polymer clay with sterling silver wire for hanging. The little ice crystal is a real glass bead that I have custom made to use in my art. They are the cutest things and I love working with them.

A new creepy heart pendant

When I was a kid the Mummy was the one monster that always creeped me out. Since I'm sculpting creepy hearts I decided to do one in honor of the creepiest monster around!
