Custom Earwires
(Trying to recreate the last post from the previous blog!) Inspired by the wonderful Kathleen Dustin, I created some custom earwires for these new polymer clay earrings out of 20g sterling wire. Kathleen has been urging her students (and other jewelry artists) to consider the earwire as an extension of the overall design of the piece. In this instance, the elongated and slightly assymetrical polymer clay pieces wouldn’t have been nearly as interesting if merely hung from stock earwires. In fact, they might have been downright boring because of their simple design. To me, they now seem simply elegant.
