Cat  pendant :   I  hand modeled  the cat body and head out of  cork clay , then  painted over it with  silver clay paste. The legs and tail, ears and muzzle were formed from silver clay  .  It was attached to a piece of dichroic glass by
overlapping on the back  and then fired ....It was burnished after firing.

Lily pendant:   The lily was  hand formed from silver clay  .  I extruded little  vine shapes using the  Silver clay syringe which  helped attach it to the dichroic . There is also a tiny piece of dichroic embedded in the design ... It was fired and burnished after firing.

No molds were used on either piece.
