Sakura's Star Key pendants

Description

This is a project that spent a long time in the works, and also a lot of time either not being worked on or drying. It's Sakura's Star Key, from the third season of Card Captor Sakura. I've always loved that anime and this item in particular. It's so cute!
I made it in cold porcelain, with a wire skeleton and a plastic bead in place of the original's jewel. I painted the whole piece with acrylics and sealed with water-based varnish.
I was commissioned for only one of these, but since I had no idea how to go about it, I made several to practice and try out different methods. I wasn't able to make the center star faceted, however, so I used paint to create the effect. Because I let the ring dry for too long, I had difficulty attaching the skeleton for the wings and key. I also learned that the star should be bigger than the diameter of the ring, because they shrink in different directions when they dry and the star ends up being smaller. I only figured out how to make wings that pleased me when I was on the last key. XD Oh well. I would like to make more, but it's frustrating, so it'll probably take a while.

What do you think? I hope you like them!
