SUMMARY:Faux Bone and Silver Pendant $100
DESCRIPTION:See the Alone Star Jewelry blog for upcoming details and information for supplies and techniques for this class. You’ll be glad you did! \n\n\n\nMultimedia art is nothing but fun to create\, and faux bone puts a little magic into the mix. Cut\, carve\, score\, drill\, file and form it\, then bring a piece to life with color and other accents. Or\, tone down color and explore the material’s quality for creating a primitive look. Less can be more! Faux bone is non-toxic and also tough: the flex shaft rotary tool becomes your friend as does a sharp Xacto knife\, files\, and sandpaper. Fabricate a riveted sterling silver collar with bail (beginner)\, or a sterling cap with bail (intermediate/advanced-see the blog post).  \n\n\n\nOther additions include adding faceted stones or cabochons\, beads\, wire constructions\, mysterious holes and symbols…Ideas for shapes will be supplied via the ASJ blog. Subject matter can be representational as with the owl (see blog post)\, flower\, etc.\, or non-representational as in surface textures\, patterns and colors.  \n\n\n\nAlone Star Jewelry blog: www.alonestarjewelry.com.  \n\n\n\nThe kit for the class will be added to your ticket on the day of class. \n\n\n\nNote: All materials and tools for classes must be purchased at Beadoholique Bead Shop. This allows us to continue providing you with quality classes. \n\n\n\nMaterials to purchase day of class:The shop will provide pickle solution\, tongs\, andLOS for patina\, instructor’s drill press\, and 3 flexshafts are available for use.

DESCRIPTION:Beginners will make a sterling silver clay pendant\, similar to the image above\, featuring 2 heart shapes\, 2 textures\, 1-2 molded decorations\, and a fired-in cup bezel for setting a cabochon. *Another shape can be subbed such as a circle\, teardrop\, oval\, square\, etc. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe image above shows an example for advanced students.

Your personal choice of cabochon will be set with an attached fine silver bezel that will be filled with investment before firing. \n\n\n\nTypically\, pieces from Saturday classes are fired the following Tuesday. An informal day for finish work can be arranged; it is not required because class instructions will have the information you will need to finish your pendant at home. \n\n\n\nPlease Read: The class fee shown above does not include the metal clay or any other supplies.
