Pressed & painted Honey Bee French Barrette

I made a series of stamps by incising, adding bits and carving clay to make a reverse image. These come in handy as I cut out each barrette, pressing it into different clay reliefs that I have used for other projects. Next I use my smaller stamps to further detail each rectangle of clay. The edges must be smoothed, before I place each carefully over a dowel, weighing down either edge so a gentle curve is created. Each honey bee french barrette must fit the metal structure of the sturdy clip made in France.

After firing to bisque, so the clay hardens to a durable material, I begin the coloring process. The raised relief and incised areas will add interest to the surface of the barrette as the glazes flow. I use a mix of under glazes which do not flow, staying where they are placed and flow glazes. The flow glazes accent the hills and valleys of the pattern.

I wear my birdie Barrette nearly every other day. It holds my thick hair back very nicely. If I just want to gather a few wisps to gather the hair from falling in my face, it does that perfectly as well. The french clips are very well made. Feel free to give your barrette a work out. I make them to last.

Each barrette will vary a bit in size colors and patterning as I make them each individually. They average about 3″ wide by 1.5 wide. Each comes with a nice tag and is signed by me:).

You may order my bee print in any of my products from pendants, clocks to gift cards or a car art sticker.
