Abstract Rectangular Pendant with Shell

Abstract Rectangular Pendant with Shell

Item details

A small rectangular tablet shape made to imitate ivory or bone in polymer clay. The pendant has incised patterns across it's surface in curving lines and has a fragment of natural shell embedded at the lower edge. After firing I painted brown acrylic paint over the surface and then wiped back to leave it only in the incised lines.
Suspended from the lower edge, by loops of silver wire, are a bone bead and a mother of pearl chip bead, both of which are recycled from old jewellery.
The pendant hangs by two loops of silver wire at either side of the top edge, on a hand made silk cord. I experimented with making these cords using what is now called Kumihimo, but they are such a fiddle I gave up after a while. The fastener is a tiny silver T bar and loop.
The cord is approximately 18"/45cm.
The effect I was trying for is of something found in an archeological dig.

I made several of these pendants after finding the technique for simulating ivory in a book about making beads. I got quite into doing it but I haven't used polymer clay for a while. The technique involves very fine layers of white and translucent clay, I tried to give them an old look, as if they might be relics from somewhere. The incised surface has brown paint in the lines to add to the aged look.
