First Time Clay Pendants

Not that bad for a beginner, I think

I finally found oven-soft clay where I live (which happens to be the very central of Indonesia, so shame if I couldn't find any). The clay that I use here is Lyra. Some say that it's not as good as other clays but it's pretty okay for an amateur beginner like me. I hand sculpted the sakura flower and the skull ones. The black one is made out of scrap black. The earring and the round pendant is made using kaleidoscope cane. I was rather curious whether I could use Lyra to make those canes or not. Not perfect, but not completely bad either. All I need is to get proper varnish before I put them on strings. I like my pendants shiny.
