Here's step one of the wand I'm starting today. I'm using gold paint. Mmmm.

Step one of my wand completed. Went with the black craft paint for now as the nearest place with any decent selection of wood stains is 50 miles away lol.gif

I got my clay on yesterday and put a coat of paint on it just now.





I'm thinking I might try to put some fine "woodgrain" lines on with a tiny brush and then do a very diluted wash of black or brown to antique it some. We'll see how my mood strikes me though.

Now that the paint dried, I added the clay for the handle. Trying to see how it works embedding gemstones in the clay. Hopefully they will stay once it dries.

I do too. However, I have learned that they do not stick when paper clay dries but at least I have the places marked where to glue them later.
