Testing out a shell necklace idea!

[selkie.astraea]

Currently I'm working on a necklace using a shell and polymer clay to make a pendant, and decorating it with paints and pastels. It's sort of a test to see if I can make it look the way I want with the limited supplies I have in my dorm (I have a lot less here than I do back home...), and I figured it might be nice to make a thread on it!

How I plan to decorate it...

And how it looks now that I glued in the beads with E6000. I'll post more updates as I finish more!

Turns out I am going to have to make a craft store run for gold paint! Thought I already had some but I didn't...

Here's where I'm at right now, I intend to make the colors brighter and sparklier before I add my gold! Definitely needs more bright green, though to be fair this picture is not the best quality lol
