This was a fun, new project! The key chain has 24K gold finish and the top screws off to reveal a stainless steel tube/compartment to carry pills/medication (or anything else that will fit). If you didn't forget your keys, you didn't forget your meds!
I simply used a partial mix of pearl white and copper, made an impression with a rubber stamp and the mica shift technique, rolled the clay smooth in the pasta machine to take out all the texture, and voila! A sheet of clay to cover the tube. Then I added a rope textured detail at the top and bottom from a mix of the same two colored clays. Cure, sand, buff, gloss coat & heat set. I also made some dimple impressions with my stylus tool and placed a crystal in the center dimple on each side. This would make a great personalized gift with an initial on one side, as well. Hmmm....I'll have to try that!
The key ring is substantial, so it will last a long time. This was my first key chain, but I plan to make more in different colors and styles. Quite easy to make.
