I wanted the tag to have a gold, antiqued
look, not shiny silver. First, I heated the tag with my torch to
ruin the silver finish. Then I used first gold then black rub-n-buff
to get a color more suited to this piece.

I stamped into the clay several times,
then cut tiles in misc sizes. I made a thin clay floor on which to
lay the tiles. I baked the cover, then grouted in between with small
snakes of black clay. Then I baked the cover again. The picture does
not do it justice.
