\"Inked <\/span>“New techniques in this wonderful world of polymer clay and it’s endless ability to become whatever your heart desires.” ~Lynn-W<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

These Inked Butterfly Earrings<\/em> are made with a surface technique that combines an ultra thin sheet of translucent polymer clay<\/a>, some permanent ink, a Teardrop Blend<\/a> and <\/span>patterned rubber stamps.<\/span> The project also involves baking on a light bulb<\/a>, <\/span> <\/span>some handmade earwires<\/a> and <\/span>shape cutters.<\/span><\/p>\n

The technique is a good example of how ideas just came to me when I spend time playing with my clay. It’s also one that I have a feeling has probably been done before, although I have not yet seen it anywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

But no matter where the idea originates, I absolutely love how these butterfly earrings flutter at the end of their wires when you wear them.<\/span><\/p>\n

This polymer clay surface technique can be used for almost any polymer clay project where you would use a sheet of patterned clay, such as pendants, earrings and focal beads.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would be happy to create a video tutorial about this if there are enough of you that express an interest. You know what to do… cast your votes<\/em> in comment section below.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
