Clay Camp TEAPOT

Built in the soft fabric-look style and glazed

to look like leather with textured complements,

My first Oliver Teapot!

Not a Headpin In Sight!

Beach glass shards tumbled smooth and 

drilled with holes can make an awesome

pair of earrings!

This time it's beach glass buttons which

take center stage as an earring

component. Hand formed and decorated

ceramic clay discs hang in the balance...

Red Wasser glass - lightweight and festive - 

suspended from a decorative copper bail and 

brushed copper ring...

There's that red Wasser glass again, this

time along for the ride with incredibly thin

clay discs transfer printed with rice paper

patterning...

Hand Formed Headpins & Earrings

Many earrings are 'built' on a headpin.

In the above pair, the hand formed headpin

was made with a spiral bottom design

to carry the hanging clay squares...

This entire earring is made on a headpin;

if you look carefully, you will detect the flat

copper spiral under the last disc which is

really the bottom of the headpin...

This headpin (with a eye pin top) has a simple

diagonal square bottom which holds my

hand painted spirit hole disc under the clay

carved tube bead above it.

Each spirit hole disc is accented with a pair 

of wavy copper spacer discs... 

More on Making Earrings...

I love making earrings with my many Spirit Hole discs...

...accented with Wasser Glass shapes

and hand cut faux sea glass hearts from Emily Cohen.

The combination makes a fabulous 'look-at-me'

pair of earrings...

Not to mention lightweight and easy-to-wear!
