Grecian Gold Necklace

Materials
  • Gold leaf
  • White clay
  • Scrap clay
  • Head or T pins
  • Pasta machine
  • Cutting blade
  • Oven preheated to 275 degrees
Instructions
  • Roll the sheet of white clay to #4, put the gold leaf on, and roll to #1 to get the crackled look.
  • Roll your scrap clay into small balls and cover them with strips of the white and gold sheet.
  • Leave half of the balls just balls, but with the other half, stick them onto head/t pins and roll them out while on the pins so the hole gets bigger and they elongate. Roll them to 1 inch long.
  • Slide the long beads off of the pins and bend them slightly, placing them right beside one another so they take on the same curve.
  • Bake all beads, and thread them onto the necklace first a round bead, then a long bead, etc.
