Preheat oven to 275 °F. Test temperature with oven thermometer for perfectly cured clay. Condition all clay by kneading until it’s soft and smooth or running it through the Clay Conditioning Machine for several passes on the widest setting. Fold the clay in half after each pass and insert the fold side into the rollers first.

Condition and Roll a sheet of clay on setting #3 using your Clay Conditioning Machine. Use Clay Conditioning Machine to roll un-mounted stamps with the clay through the Clay Conditioning Machine together. Or, flip mounted stamp upside-down, and press rolled out clay onto the image. Remove and cut images out with biscuit cutter.

Use your fingertip to lightly apply several colors of the Lumiere paints. Allow all of the paints to dry thoroughly before progressing to the next step.

Press one of the stamped painted pieces on to another piece of clay rolled out on the thickest Clay Conditioning Machine setting. Be sure there are no bubbles between the two pieces.

Use the Acrylic Clay Roller to press the design into the clay piece. Roll in different directions until the relief is completely flattened and smooth.

Cut both pieces with biscuit cutter.

Repeat cutting process for other image.

Roll a large oval-shaped elliptical ball of clay just a tiny bit smaller than the two images.

Flip one of the flat images of clay upside down. Lay the elliptical ball in the center, on top of the flipped back piece.

Sandwich the elliptical ball between the front and back pieces of clay, making sure both pieces are not off-center.

Press all of the edges firmly together, and make sure there are no empty spaces or air pockets in between. You will feel the piece moving inside if there are. Press lightly and gently roll the piece between your palms. If necessary, use the Super Slicer to slit an end open and press any bubbles or air pockets out toward the slit.

Here is how your pendant should look after sealing the edges. (front and back)

Use the Needle Tool to poke a hole where the bale will go.

Get your desired color of 16-18 gauge wire. It should measure approximately 4 inches long. Use a pair of round nosed pliers to bend it in half.

Loop one end around and around the hanging end of the other side, and form a "hangman's noose." Be sure there's enough wire left to insert into the hole in the pendant.

Insert the long, unlooped end into the hole in the pendant. Bake bead and wire together at 275 °F for 30 minutes, allowing it to cool completely. If desired, apply a very thin coating of Translucent Liquid Sculpey with a soft brush to one side and bake the Translucent Liquid Sculpey painted side facing up in oven at 275 °F. Repeat process for other side. ALTERNATIVE FINISH: Apply a thin coat of Future floor wax, using a small, foam brush. Allow to dry before applying a second coat. Then, flip and repeat for second side. NOTE: Pendant does NOT require that you must apply any finish at all. Then, string on your favorite material --- leather, Buna cord, or ball chain and finish with a favorite finding or closure.
