Emo/Steampunk Necklace

Last week my friends Aileen and Kris introduced me to paperclay. I mostly made buttons as I am obsessed with buttons right now. But I also made this necklace for my teen daughter who loves everything dark and mysterious. It's designed after a broken heart she has drawn many times.

After letting it air dry , I painted it a deep red, for that blood effect.



Lastly I whitewashed ( or is it black washed?) it, letting the red show in the broken section, and sealed it with PYMII.  She was happily surprised when she saw the end product. Not my style, but fun to make:)
