Test Pendants


This piece was originally intended to be a pin, but I've used her more often as a pendant. Perhaps that's because I like beading, and because I wear necklaces more often than I wear pins.

But more than anything, she is good for testing colors and techniques. That's what these two were - tests to see if I could find a way to combine realistic underglazes (on the horses) with art glazes (on the backgrounds) without any bleeding between the two. It worked, and I've since used that technique on the backgrounds of my medallions.

And now these are going out to two mailing list members in our first Customer Giveaway.
