Here’s a little sanding tip for when your polymer clay has wire embedded in it.
I’m working on a series of short tutorials around this project, but I’m a bit inexperienced with video editing so I started with something small.

Way back on the 18th of September I did a demo at the Craftworkshop in Sedbergh (there are weekly demos in the shop and a range of lovely craft items for sale, so pop in if you are in the area). The pendant was designed as my focal for the ABS September challenge, but due to unforseen circumstances I haven’t been able to blog untill now (or make any further progress on my challenge piece).
There are three videos, the first one is making a sheet of mokume gane from polymer clay:
The next video is making the hollow doughnut. The last step is missing from the video but it is to turn the cutter around and cut off the excess clay. There is also a step by step doughnut tutorial here on my blog.
The last video is an optional step – putting a trim around the edge of the baked pendant. This can hide imperfections or become a design feature by using a contrasting colour.
Finished pendant after sanding and stringing.
Enjoy!
