Hi All! You can learn to make this polymer clay faux wood slice and faux wood burning necklace with pine cones. This is a fun way to celebrate the winter season. See how to make the wood slice and create a snowflake pattern. Use multiple wood slices to make a real statement necklace or use just one for a neat mixed media pendant. Hope you enjoy.

Hi All, hope you enjoy trying out new techniques. This is a 2 part tutorial. In Part 1, you'll learn to use fluid acrylic paint and ink to create a polymer clay veneer to use in making this summery pendant. The DecoArt Media fluid acrylic I used is so luscious.
