Porcelain Coin Pendants...

Every year I tell myself that I'm going to make something to put on the table during the Tucson shows.  Usually I get too busy or there's a kiln malfunction or something happens to prevent me from actually accomplishing this goal.

This year was different!  

I pressed out a small mountain of porcelain coin pendants in some of the molds that I've been using for metal clay components.  I carved some of the designs, but several of my favorites were carved by my sister, Cynthia.  She made them for me a few years ago when I was diagnosed with cancer to help combat my exorbitant medical bills.  I'm really thankful for her help and think fondly of her whenever I use them.

At the end of the show, I had intended on giving whatever was left over to some of my friends and fellow vendors, but I forgot that I was carrying them around.  When we were unpacking at home, I discovered the bag and decided to post them in the online shop.  CLICK HERE to check them out and learn more about how they're made.

I really love them and the bright colors.  I also really love the velvety texture of the glaze.  I only have a few listed right now, but I'll be making more within the next few weeks!
