Hello! Once again, I tried something a bit different for me, and I really like the results. These earrings are based on a process developed by Nikolina Ortzan. She has some really incredible ideas and designs, and many of them are available as tutorials or as completed products online at Etsy. I made a few alterations in my version of these earrings, and I'm sure I'll try more variations in the future. 
I liked that these were open so I could add beads, pearls and crystals. I also made up my own shapes and styles. These earrings are fun - and they're unusual!
One tip: if you use a softer clay like Premo!, make sure your clay strips are a bit on the thick side. If you make the earrings larger, like the ones I made in coral and lime, clay that is too thin will not hold up under too much finger pressure. A clay like Kato will be strong enough to be used thin, as long as you are sure to bake it at the recommended temperature.
