Pinched Petal Necklace with Kato

I finally finished Lindly’s  pinched petal necklace with Kato clay .  I made a huge skinner blend with my dream machine and used it all so it is twice as long as the Premo one.  I still had a problem with the cracking when I pinched some of the petals but I took the time to heal them now that I know they will show.  It is hard to tell from the pictures but the Kato colors are more intense even though I used the same primary colors.

I want to try the watercolor beads next.  I made one when I took Maggie’s color workshop a few years ago.  Now that I know more about color I would like to make a whole necklace.  It will be hard for me to “mud” down the colors as I always tend to use bright ones.  But I think the muted ones look better with this technique.

On Friday Maggie is coming to Ohio to do a book-signing and many of our guild members are going.  Maybe I’ll get a picture to post here on my blog.
