Fingerprint pendant

[flowerpecker]

A friend wanted a fingerprint pendant,not doing it before but i give it a go.
Any advice,help that you can give?
Thanks so much.

Have your friend stick inked finger to pendant & spray with fixative.
Then engrave the pattern...

alternatively if your engraving skills aren't good enough I wonder if it would work to have her place her finger in clay then cast from that?
Just a thought

I you cannot engrave it yourself, then you could always make a pendant, get a fingerprint copy and send it to Alan Hadley at Geti; http://www.geti.cc/ and he could laser engrave it for you.

Or you could just go down the metal clay route?

I suspect your friend would like it in metal clay. It's very easy. Just roll out the clay fairly thick and cut out the shape you'd like. Push the finger carefully into the clay, leave to dry and fire.

That's a very simple explanation and I'm sure there are lots of much better tutorials online.
