Painted Pendant
Step One: Take an equal, small amount of solution A and B. 
Step Two: Thoroughly mix the two amounts. 
Step Three: Roll and shape into a cylinder shape, making the ends flat. 
Step Four: Make a simple loop with your eyepin with a 1/4 inch gap. 
Step Five: Insert eyepin loop into one end of your clay cylinder. Roll cylinder to reshape and smooth out the clay. Let clay dry for 24 hours on a ziploc bag or piece of plastic. 
Step Six: Dip or brush on paint to end with thick paint or patina.
You can also to the same tutorial by adding eyepin loops to both ends of your cylinder and shape the clay in a curve, like our other example. Add your choice of chain or Adjustable Necklace chain for a super simple necklace idea!
