Since I’ve just reviewed PMC Decade…
I thought you might like to see a pair of earrings that have been created with Precious Metal Clay components. The tiny, textured PMC canister shapes were made quite a while ago and I just came upon them while digging through my stash. I had made quite a few of these cylindrical beads and used a majority of them in a necklace, which appeared in the PMC Guild Annual #1 in 2007. I’m so glad I had a few left over! As for the petite peridot teardrop crystals, I’d been saving them for just the right project. They are special to me because I purchased them at Aloha Bead Company several years ago while visiting Maui. They dangle from tiny loops made with Argentium silver, which produces smooth little spheres when the ends of the silver are held to a torch. Attached to a pair of my handmade ear wires and patinaed in liver of sulfur, these earrings will be worn with pleasure time and again!
