It did take me a couple of hours and a few tries to get it right, this is actually the second amulet that I have made, the first turned out a little bit wobbly and asymmetrical
I am quite proud of how this one turned out though
You wouldn't happen to have any tips you'd be willing to share would you?
I think it's important that it was all made of one piece, I first formed the clay to shape, THEN added the gem, and afterwards carved the lines into it. I used tiny sculpting tools like this [link] which you have a lot of luck to find in shops that sell models and modelling tools. I already had some at hand but they are not necessary, you can use anything you find that is thicker than a needle and thinner than a match.
The top part where the leather goes in was shaped from a rectangle, I took a stick of some kind, maybe a pencil(don't clearly remember) rolled the rectangle up like a tube, shaped it accordingly and the stick was only removed when the clay was baked.
The clay was black and to paint it, I used acrylics and a bit of spray varnish on top. That's about all I can say right now but if you have something more specific on your mind just ask and I'll be glad to help.
Thanks so much for the info!!! : D
