That looks good........did you have to hold it in a vise or just handhold?
Pretty pendant or ornament.

Hi Lia - What a great pendant! My DH bought me a dremel for Christmas a couple years ago - and I'm just now using it. I never thought to carve on baked clay. You've sparked an idea for a clay class. I went to the home page you said you got your idea from -- but didn't see anything carved. What was it?? -- Michele

Thanks, ladies,
I just held the piece in my hand as I carved. Surprisingly easy except for the rounded areas.

No, the Bronze Tearoom doesn't have any of her scroll beads; I just wanted to give her credit for the inspiration. After posting that I did find a listing of her scroll beads that are up for auction. Try this with . (dot) instead of spaces:

Hi Lia - Yours looks just as nice!! Thanks for the link. Very interesting. I will definitely give it a try with my dremel tool. :0) -- Michele

Very pretty, Lia!!! I adore swirly patterns and that nice pearly finish!
True confeesion time...shhhh, don't tell, but I have not actually taken my Dremel out of the box yet and I've owned it for over a year. Now this will give me some inspiration!

Thanks, ladies, you are too kind!

Probably a year ago (or more!) I made a buffing wheel for my rotary tool according to Desiree McCrorey's how-to

and just started using it again when DH ...ummm... motivated me the other day!

So don't feel bad. Just share a pic of your results when you get a Round Tuit!

Very nice! That carving sure could help with my problem of losing an impressed pattern in unbaked clay because I touch it too much. Are you going to try some with backfilling?
