One of the rooms in the designer showcase will feature an antique door with altered finials attached to it so that jewelry designers can showcase their necklaces.
My contribution was made by covering a wooden finial with a mix of 50% white / 50% transculent Premo! polymer clay. After the piece cooled, I created a glaze by mixing Jacquard Pinata alcohol inks with Liquid Sculpey. After coating the piece with the glaze & re-baking for 10 minutes, I applied some Future floor finish to give it shine to create a faux ceramic look. The end of the finial was created with a homemade mold made from a beautiful metal cabinet knob from Lowe’s.
