2011 - Talk Birth

I used metallic powdered pigments (Pearlex brand) to color them–I did some by brushing the pigment
onto the unbaked clay after already having stamped it and others by brushed pigment over a whole section
of rolled out clay and then stamping and cutting it.
My husband drilled small holes in the tops and made copper rings for them, so they can be strung as a
pendant or used as an ornament.
I had a delightful time having the lifespace to be crafty and then my husband accidentally cooked my
art at 350 degrees and burned the living daylights out of all of them.

So, after a few tears from me about my wasted effort, we started over from the beginning and made a
new batch. We put ribbons on the least burned ones and used them as birth power ornaments for the
Christmas tree!
They do have a certain similarity to Necco wafers or poker chips, but I’m pretty pleased with them.
