These are the same polymer clay do-dads a couple photos back-- only now they've been painted to resemble metal. Since I used a brown mixture of scrap clay, I started by painting them black. Then (once they dried) I dry-brushed metallic paint-- just enough to highlight the non-recessed portions and reveal the texture. (Oh, and I sealed it all with a clear, matte, indoor/outdoor acrylic coat. It's not strictly necessary, but I think it might help the paint to last a little longer.)
I'm happy with these results! Now I just need to get around to restringing the wind chimes. . .
