Living in sunny Southwest Florida, it barely seems like fall. But go into any store, and you are reminded by all the Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas merchandise! I grew up near Buffalo, New York, so the change in seasons is something that made my childhood special. But with that comes snow....and that's a whole different blog post!
I have been playing with a new clay. I call it chocolate clay, because that's what it reminds me of after being fired at cone 5. Most of my beads are made from low fire white clay. I like the bright colors I can achieve with that. Normally my style is very whimsical. But with this new clay, my work has taken on a more earthy and natural look.
For my autumn pair of earrings, I textured the chocolate clay with a floral design and cut 2 small squares. I hand rolled two 10mm spacer balls for accents. I chose an earthy brown glaze that highlights the texture. I added 4 antique bronze saucers and 20mm wire to pull my design together. I can't wait to wear them!
Visit my etsy shop at www.fireflydesignstudio.etsy.com to see more of my ceramic beads. Thank you to our blog hop hostess, Rita from Toltec Jewels!! And please visit all the other blogs to see lots more lovely autumn jewelry designs!
