Agadez cross pendant in polymer clay

Step 1
Take 2 bars from a loaf of black clay. Knead the clay, then run it through the dough machine at the widest notch. Place your cookie cutter on the clay, pressing down to mark it.

Step 2
Using your blade, cut out the outline of the cross.

Step 3
Take a 2 cm cutter and place it in the center of the cross to remove a round piece of clay.
Work the relief of the 4 points by pressing the blade on the edges.

Step 4
Tap the surface of the cross with your Izinc pigment block. Spread the ink by sweeping the surface from top to bottom.

Step 5
Decorate the cross by making indentations with small round cookie cutters. 2 or 3 different diameters are all you need.

Step 6
Use a needle to draw lines and make small dots. Pierce the top of your future pendant.

Step 7
Pass the embossing gun a few cm (about 5cm) from the cross. Make small circles to avoid burning the clay. This step takes about 2 minutes. Make sure the ink doesn't settle on your fingers when you touch your piece. Put your cross in the oven at 120 degrees for 30 minutes. You can emboss the other side of your piece without firing it again.

Step 8
Assemble your cross with a leather cord to the desired length. Pass a ring through the hole in the pendant, crush the tips on the ends of the cord and then pass a ring on both sides. Attach a small snap hook and your pendant is ready.
