Lots of Earrings

I haven't been blogging much, but I've been very busy with a lot of different projects including making a lot of earrings.  Every 18 months, I rendezvous with 11 fabulous women all of whom were in my freshman dorm in college.  We always have a blast and usually exchange small, inexpensive gifts, so this time I'm giving everyone earrings.  They will get to choose from the ones shown in the photos.  These are all post earrings, but I hope to make some dangles this week.



I made these using a crackle technique: pearlescent paint on clay which is run through the pasta machine when dry.  Although they look large in the photos, the trapezoidal earrings are about the size of a U.S. nickel.  The small round ones are less than 1/2 inch in diameter (12.4mm).

  2. Thanks, Carolyn. Eventually, some of these will end up on Artfire as soon as I get Paypal set up and figure out mailing costs, etc.

  3. Very pretty! I especially like the 2nd set, I think because I resonate to the colors. Your "rendezvous" with the 11 fabulous cohorts from your Freshman dorm sounds fabulous and I'm sure they will love their unique and beautiful earring gifts.

  5. I have a lot more pairs of the first and second colorways, so I hope everybody will find something they like. We are all very intellectual and sophisticated, so I doubt there will be any hair pulling. LOL
