After baking them for a very long time, I discovered that the clay is still very fragile, so I decided to mount the Talismans on wood, and make the piece into artwork that I will hang on the wall and look at.
I spent the last several days painting the talismans and wood with oil paint,
I then decided to guild the edges of the sigils with "gold leaf" paint to bring out the original drawings...
This is the "finished" project so far, although I doubt I am finished with it...
And here is the first Talisman I made - I mounted it to wood, as well, painted with copper metalic latex and drew around it with Sharpie.
Now these will definitely be ready for my New Moon ceremony on Friday...
I have made about 15 more new sigils as well which I will share soon... I feel like these might be subjects of some new art pieces.
