In honor of launching my Etsy store this week, I'm sharing a peek into my earring making process. I use polymer clay to make all of my earrings.
My love for polymer clay began in my childhood with these legendary creations:
Steve the Silly Unicorn
(I think this one was a product of my Charlie the Unicorn obsession)
Turtle with a Battery
(This is from Impractical Jokers. Iconic.)
Thumb Lady
(I have no explanation.)
I like to think my polymer clay abilities have gotten a bit better since then, although my sense of humor has not changed :/
Polymer clay is oven-bake clay, meaning the process is fairly simple.
1. Make the earrings
2. Bake the earrings
3. Paint the earrings (optional). I use acrylic paint.
4. Put jump rings on the earrings
5. Glaze the earrings
6. Assemble the earrings
It's a pretty simple but lengthy process. And one that's pretty difficult for me to document without a tripod, so maybe buy my earrings so I can buy one? lol
Here are the photos I do have.

Perhaps now you are enticed to check out my Etsy store? Become a follower? Maybe even buy a pair of earrings? Hehe
