Have some handy wire and pliers,cut then twist the wire ends together, form into the desired shape.
Wrap wire with masking tape
Roll out air dry clay to desired thickness, using the prepared wire shape,cut around it "cookie cutter" fashion, then apply clay, smooth and seal all edges with a damp finger and favorite clay tool,cut an extra piece of clay into a small rectangular
shape, using a pen top "poke" a hole into it about a 1/4 of the way down from the top of the piece then using a sharp knife cut downward on this hole to form the bottom half of the keyhole and dampen the underside and place on the lower 1/2
of the pad and allow to dry.
Using dark umber, black, autumn brown, silver and gold acrylics, paint the clay
by dabbing colors on in a painterly fashion. Then for texture add ground cinnamon
over sections of the wet paint, and Voila!!! there it is!!!...hehehe!!

Now THAT is cool!
((wondering if I can get out of work early today.....
hee hee-
i mean *cough, cough* -i think I 'm coming down with something..))
clay-itis maybe?
you make me want to run home and get my hands dirty!! :0)
I'm so glad everyone liked it!!
I forgot to add that you have to spray seal it too. Yes it definitely is cinnamony smelling and it is part of the " eye"'s accessory, just a small one though.
I love the look of old and "rusty" too, but in all my junk (and there is alot of junk! )not one lock !!!so I had to make one. I had a few other " old " accessories to make as well!! "Clayitis", yes sounds like you got it bad!!!..I catch that on a regular bases,hehehe!!!
