Day 9 of the Fusion Beads 30 Day Bead Challenge brings us this prompt: "Ice is nice! Get a head start and make some snowflake ornaments to celebrate the season!" It's hard to believe that winter is just around the corner and snow is coming! A few years ago, it snowed on Halloween here in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
While I don't want to think about the icy cold weather at all, I'm quite pleased with how this turned out and will hopefully do a run of these pendants/ornaments soon. I carved out a snowflake design and pressed it out in polymer clay. Once it was baked and cooled, I then coated it in silver Gilder's Paste and touched it up with acrylic paints. I love the way the interference paint gives the piece a chilly shimmer. I might do some in porcelain. I think that the way I finish the pendants in the tumbler (to give it a satin, matte finish with the details more pronounced) would work nicely.
October isn't over yet! There's still lots of time to participate in this challenge. I hope you make some time to participate! It's really enjoyable and I have been creating with wild abandon! CLICK HERE to see the full calendar.

I was making some plans for some of my annual ornaments last night. And of course snowflakes played a big part! I am most looking forward to my annual bird pendant/ornaments and I am looking to do some sort of wintery scene. I hope that my brain and my hands cooperate! This is lovely. Enjoy the day Andrew!
