For this week's earrings I picked an apple blossom, carefully made a mold with it, and cast some new earring drops in a light green/gold polymer clay. After they cured, I added a black patina and put them together with antique brass wire and two little carnelian coins.
Check out the Flickr pool here to see what everyone else mixed up for week twelve.
See you next week with another pair!
These are great.
ReplyDeletethey are beautiful! I am amazed you made a mold from an actual apple blossom - they are so delicate.
ReplyDeleteThese are beyond awesome! I made a apple blossom mold a year or so ago...didn't turn out half as great as yours!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tania!! You've got to try out my favorite molding compound: 5 minute cold molding compound from Art Clay World USA. It gets fabulous detail and there's no need for a mold release. It's great stuff!
DeleteThese are beautiful!! Awesome work!
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely gorgeous! I hope you'll be making more of these apple blossoms.

Oh Rebekah, those are fantastic! Are they double sided?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenna! No, these are one sided... but, I may do some double sided ones too. :-)
