Hello! I was looking for some leaf earrings that weren't made out of metal, and couldn't find anything. So I decided to try to make some with Sculpey, a polymer clay that you can fire in a home oven to harden. I've never actually worked with anything like this before, I have only seen people use it, so don't be too hard on it.

Now, I realize that it doesn't have enough leaves, and that they should be thinner, but with clay it is hard to do those things. I really have no idea how I could get any more leaves onto an earring, though that is the one thing that is really bothering me. However, all I am really trying to get, at this point, is a leaf that is at least recognizable as a pot leaf.

So, what do you guys think? Is it even somewhat recognizable? They are also going to be pretty small, so people won't really be able to see that the details may be a little screwy. Please don't be too hard on me, I've never done this before and am actually trying to be creative for once!

haha that's the only thing I'd think of

If I just saw that laying around I'd think one thing: pot. Thats sweet you made your own.

Alright cool, now I just need to figure out how to attach a post to them after baking. I have no idea how I am going to do that. This whole thing had been improvisation, I'm having so much fun!

Okay! They are done. So, what do you guys think? Should I wear them in public other then to places that are exclusively smokers? Like just in general, should I wear them?

Picture sequence:
-earrings after firing, before gluing
-earrings after gluing backs on
-left ear
-right ear
-me getting ready to smoke
-some pics of what was in my bowl (CLICK on these ones for detail

Hey cool project! I love them. That clay is really fun to work with.

MissDankBuds · 05-21-2007, 01:43 PM

Thanks! I'm trying to decide if I want to wear them to class today, what with having to see teachers and other students who's opinions I don't know.
