From the oven to my ears!

This project was a discovery and then an addiction. After buying couple of terracotta earrings, I was curious to try baking my very own. I purchased the oven-bake clay, earring hoops and 'finding' rings and set about my experimentations. After burning a few, breaking some more, forgetting to bake with rings etc, I had the process nailed down! Well, the colors came from my acrylics.

Now I sport elephants on my ears ;) Well, mostly elephants, couple of jumkis (labor-intensive!), a pair of white birds and then some random shapes.

More to come - hot from my oven!
