@Mathia R: Hi Mathia! I suggest taking Cindy’s Fundamentals course…it’s the best way to get started with clay, and avoid all the “beginner” mistakes often made. Then you’ll be able to make custom beads, pendants, etc. for your jewelry — like no one else has!

@Cindy: Family saw the movie last night — these earrings would’ve been the perfect accessory!

@Mathia R: Glad you like the Luna Earrings. Polymer Clay really does allow you to create jewelry designs that you can truly call your own. It is a wonderful and rewarding experience!

The best advice I can give for anyone starting out with polymer clay is to learn the basics well, before jumping into the more advanced projects. Learning the fundamentals on working with polymer clay is not difficult… nor does it have to take a lot of time to master. But I see so many beginners wanting to jump ahead too quick… which often leads to frustration when your projects don’t turn out as planned.

So my question back to you Mathia, is how well would you rank yourself at having a good understanding of the basics? [i.e. conditioning clay, rolling basic bead shapes by hand, piercing the beads, simple cane construction, reducing canes, dealing with finger prints, baking, sanding, buffing, finishing].

i can’t believe how easy you make beads… and these are absolutely perfect for luna… i’ve been making jewelery for about 3 years…but i just can’t seem to befriend clay… do you have any pointers?

Hi Becki,

I am so glad to hear that you like these Luna Lovegood Dirigible Plum Earrings! They would be perfect to wear at the final movie this summer, wouldn’t they?

I don’t have a How-To tutorial available, but I could make up a custom set for you… just sent you an email with further details.

Also… check out the link by my name for a sneak peek video I just posted today. In it, I show a cool Harry Potter style Book Bead on a hammered copper bookmark.

Hi Laura, glad you like them! Maybe I’ll do a tute on them sometime. It’s a little too hard to explain here in the comments. Your ravenclaw scarf sounds cool. Are you knitting it?

Wow, another person who's made Luna's radish earrings! I loved those earrings in the movie, so I had to make my own.

Here they are [they're quite chunky]. I wore them on the day the 6th book was released, they are really fun to wear. They make you feel as crazy as Luna :D
