I took the mandala bracelet apart and made it into a pendant. I decided I would wear the pendant more than I would the bracelet. I used carving tools to gently carve around the back of the metal bracelet until the bracelet popped out. I then had to sand the back of the Mandala smooth. I used liquid clay to apply raw clay to the back of the cured piece. I inserted the bail and reinforced it. I then textured the back and then backed. After it was cool, I drilled three holes. I sanded and buffed it to a shine and then added the three feathers.
Very nice result, Marlene. I can understand your decision to do this as I wouldn't wear a piece on my wrist that large either, but it makes a stunning pendant! I really like the addition of feather charms!
