The Making of a Pendant!

I love making bootleg charms, including this 2022 by request commission so I thought I’d share the work that goes into making each new friend.

Step 1: Sculpt in wet clay.

Step 2: Painting with underglaze.

Step 3: The finished colour.

Step 4: Bisque firing.

Step 5: And the results following glaze firing!

Bonus Step: Adding my signature before the glaze. xo

I made a fourth house of happy guys for Rose Ceremony's first-ever Midsummer Makret, July 2023.

Some of the pendants are still for sale at the Rose Ceremony Shop. Check them out in-person or online!
