This necklace’s super slim, crinkled-paper look is a happy accident of the extrusion process.<\/p>\n
The intense pressure exerted upon clay when put through an extruder tends to squeeze fine sheets of material through the cracks of the die plate and extruder.<\/p>\n
Rather than scrap the excess clay, I get creative juice from turning these accidents into artwork.<\/p>\n
I smoothed the final piece by hand, added the impression of a hand-stamped phalaenopsis orchid blossom, and bound the finished pendant with a flexible, decorative, antique-gold wire.<\/p>\n
The molded wire chain has a simple hand-formed hook and eye closure that pinches shut for extra security.<\/p>\n
The entire necklace weighs a whopping 0.2 oz. and sits very lightly around the neck.<\/p>\n
Let this delicate, fluttery necklace speak to your unique personal style. Enjoy wearing your accessories as much as I enjoyed creating them.<\/p>\n
Your necklace will come carefully packaged in recycled, biodegradable, and reclaimed shipping materials. It will also be lovingly wrapped in a special Bon-Bon envelope (templates courtesy of Mirkwood Designs), with my heart-felt thanks for supporting my work.<\/p>\n
A side-note on creation: each of my ceramic pieces is fired in my hand-built, portable, propane-fired kiln, which I buy carbon offsets for every time I fire a new batch of ceramic art work.
