Pendant

I made this A-shaped Pendant for a friend(her name begins with A(as you might have guessed, it is Abiha XD)).
I made the letter 'A' out of air-dry clay. I made a ball and then smashed it into a slab, from which I cut out the letter A using a steel ruler and a pin. After it had dried, I painted it Magenta (using acrylics mixed with white glue for increased brightness and a pinch of silver dust for a soft shine). 
I left the paint overnight to dry and in the morning I decorated it with nail polish(gold and pink)(which, as a matter of fact, has become one of my favorite mediums XD). 
The nail polish applicator was too thick a size, so I dipped my size 01 paintbrush(a most useful size, I must say) into the nail polish and added the gold stripes with it.(I had to clean it afterwards with nail-polish remover, and it did dissolve, except that it left a slight shine and stiffness in the brush).

Then I found a thread, tied the 'A' and added some dark and light pink beads.

Here's a picture:
Sorry to say,
this is NOT a very good picture.
(I took some with the flash off,
but the golden looked like
silver, so I took this one with
the flash on. It shines way
too much.)

  2. This is such a cool idea Zainab!! 8D It's interesting how you used Abiha's name as inspiration since it's a gift for her! :D The colours you chose are so pretty - I love the gold, pink and silver colour scheme! And the nail polish idea once again - genius!! xD This is inspiring me to make one of my own pendants! ^^

    As for the picture there did you try photographing it in the light? ^^ The pendant still super awesome there even so!

  4. It's a great idea to use nail polish to decorate something! I've seen lots of art challenges online where people use unusual medium like nail polishes or highlighter pens or sharpenings to create a beautiful piece of artwork. I think it would be fun to do an art challenge like that! Anyway, thsi is such a cute idea for a birthday present and it's helped me out because a few of my friend's birthdays are coming up soon so I might try to hand make something for them. :D
