Salt

This is a piece I started a year ago. Part of my Moonglow series, it sat in a box for a year. I've recently taken another look at this series and am doing a little re-working of finished and unfinished pieces.

This piece is made by embedding epsom salt in the clay, curing, and then removing the crystals - soaking is an easy method. Silvery acrylic paint details the impressions.

A charcoal moonglow bead is in the center and a silvery ceramic disk bead forms a simple toggle clasp.

  1. So glad you revisited these, the result is wonderful. Rock salt leaves a really interesting impression as well. I'm off to try Epsom! Have a great weekend :)
