Steampunk Pendant

An afternoon project I did. This is actually a birthday gift for a friend, I'm excited to give it to her.

the pendant is made of polymer clay, with a wire circle for the cord to go through and a couple screws and gears embedded into it before it was baked. I then painted the gears and weathered the piece with acrylics. I ran out of clearcoat to seal it, so I used shellac. I like the end result, the shellac gave it a hard, shiny, golden colored coat that really makes the piece look professional.
