To further accentuate the artistic feel of these earrings, they are mounted on artist quality mat board and signed by the artist (me :-), making them perfect for giving or receiving as a gift.

Those earrings are simply beautiful… I can think of 10,000 things they would go with. LOVELY!
These are beautiful, Cindy!
I agree with Linda-so beautiful! Love the shape of them and, of course, the photography captured the stunning quality of the earrings.
Thank you, Cindy, not just for teaching us how to make these beautiful creations, but also how to market them … your descriptions (and photos by Doug, of course) of these earrings make them absolutely tantalizing!
These are just beautiful. They are so light to wear -you hardly notice them. The colors are lovely and the shape if universal !
Wow, awesome !!!!!
Such beautiful earrings,Cindy, and so well photographed by Doug.
Your “Blend and Switch” technique is one of my favorites. The colours you used are so luminescent , which makes me think you used another of my favorites, pearl colours.
Gorgeous! Truly stunning earrings (love the shape!) What a wonderful presentation, too. These take me back to the day I first caught a glimpse of your Blend & Switch beauties…in your Rocker Bead video!
Although I loved that tute, I had to ask (as did SO MANY others) about that luscious pendant in the middle of your Rocker Beads set. Luckily, we didn’t have to wait too long…you soon taught us how to do this remarkable technique.
I commented the other day at the Blend Switch post. (I’ll try not to repeat myself too much…leave a link instead.) I discovered Premo added new mini-cutter sets to their line…they’re so cute! I bought the “Nature” set. I mention it since they’re a big part of Blend & Switch. I’m hoping the new shapes will add another cool look to the technique…
In the meantime, thank you for the inspiration, Cindy! You give us so much to be thankful for — you ROCK, Ms. Tutor! I wish I could snap up these earrings, because they truly are lovely…
I have a question about a tutorial done quite a while ago with alcohol inks. Cindy sprayed water on the work surface and then put some alcohol ink on that. I don’t remember the rest of it and couldn’t find it searching the various tutes that came up in my search. Can someone tell me what video that was from?
@Freda K: Hi Freda, I believe it was the Video 014-2: Faux Raku Smooth technique….that’s the one that comes to mind with water marbled inks. I’ve tried that one – it really is beautiful and of course simple to do too. All kinds of possibilities with that one, reminds a bit of the art clay sheets.
Thank you everyone for your sweet comments! I agree, Doug did an awesome job with the photography.I really like his use of the rocks in this one. Gives a real ‘organic’ feel to the setting for the earrings. I think he is getting better and better each time he sits down to take some shots!
@Freda K: Looks like DJ answered you perfectly! THANK YOU DJ!
Gorgeous earrings Cindy, I like that they’re both simple and detailed. Soo pretty with all the colors and shapes! I’m behind on this one too, I have so much to catch up on. Oh well, just more to look forward to when I actually sit down to learn this! Love these spotlights of your work, they are inspiring!
Beautiful earrings! Looks like a Cathedral stained glass window. I made two pairs of earrings using the blend and switch technique and also used resin. One of them is a kind of skateboard shape and the other is not exactly but very much like this one. I have to post photos. I’m so behind on the photos.
Really amazing polymer
i want to learn how to make such fantastic pieces like that
Hi Omnia. I see you are from Egypt. Welcome! If you would like more information about all of the polymer clay learning resources I have available, the link by my name just above, will be helpful for you. And yes… polymer clay really is an amazing and artistic medium!
