MYSTIC PENDULUMS




This Mystic Pendulum is approx 35mm in Diam. It has been handpainted with Gold Lustre.

This is my own personal Mystic Pendulum. I find it fun to use.








This Pendulum is approx. 35ml in Diam and has been handpainted in shades of blue lustre.









Lilac was used as the base colour on this Pendulum then copper lustre was dispersed over the top.




This Pendulum is approx 35mm in Diam






This Pendulum is smaller - 24mm in Diam. The lustre colourings are Gold on Gold. The first firing of gold comes out of the kiln as a lovely blue grey. A second coat of gold has been dispersed onto the Pendulum. By adding a second coat the gold lustre then actually fires gold.




THESE EXQUISITE MYSTIC PENDULUMS ARE MADE FROM THE FINEST PORCELAIN. THE PENDULUMS HAVE BEEN HANDPAINTED USING BEAUTIFUL SHADES OF LUSTRE

Banquet Room -Ceiling

This is the large panel on the ceiling. The decor has been made using porcelain dots, dashes and curved pieces. I have adhered the dots and dashes with a wood glue.








This is the design on the smaller panels of the Banquet Room ceiling. The dots and dashes have been fired in a Kiln to 1200c.
They are solid - durable and very long lasting.
