Original pendants from polymer clay are created by Odessa craftswoman Rita Bogovik. The girl draws ideas for her creations from the fantasy world, so each product is striking in its originality and careful study of details. At the moment, the collection of the craftswoman contains copies of pendants with the image of a lion's head, the prototype for which was Lev Aslan from magic Narnia, as well as an eagle, a wolf, a bat and an elf called Dobby from the cult Harry Potter books.

Rita started creating unique accessories relatively recently. Previously, the needlewoman was engaged in copywriting, and also made Christmas tree decorations and realistic figurines of characters from computer games, films and TV series. In the arsenal of this talented man there is Willy Wonka, the brave captain Jack Sparrow, the extravagant Malificent and the multifaceted Sherlock Holmes.

The craftswoman takes a lot of time to translate her ideas into life. Detailed development of small components takes 4-5 hours. First of all, the craftswoman draws sketches. But lately, most often he has been working without them, thinking over images only mentally. The material from which the master creates is polymer clay. It is she who is most often used in the creation of small objects of decorative and applied art.

If the product involves fragile parts, then Rita strengthens them with a special frame. In this way, for example, an elf figurine is made. Then she sends the pieces to the oven for baking. This is done so that the finished craft does not change shape anymore. To make the pendants bright and colorful, the craftswoman covers them with acrylic paints. The final touch is to attach the decorative lace.

Despite the fact that such a hobby is a hobby for Rita Bogovik, and not the main income, the girl tries to keep up with her own schedule. Figures and pendants are in demand, so the needlewoman creates at least one piece a day.
