This challenge was started by Anke Humpert from Anart Island Studios and what a following she has got!
In only a few weeks time 129 creative souls joined up, making the most gorgeous earrings.. leaving me totally inspired. So yesterday, I became nr. 130... and today I started with a simple set of earrings.
This was today's process:
 |
not yet used and figured that this would be a neat pattern. |
 |
| A few slices on a back sheet. |
 |
| Making it a bit more quirky. |
 |
| This one asks for a bit of texturing. |
 |
| So I cut out some smaller shapes.... |
 |
| and a few larger ones... |
And before I knew it, I had 2 sets of simple earrings, a pendant, a small "ring" bowl, and a neck piece for a project I am working on.. and nothing of that small cane left :)
If you like to see what everyone has been up to so far, have a look at the Flickr album.
As I should have a bit more time this week, I intend to make some more intrensic shapes and colours..
Watch this space:)
Have a wonderfully creative week!
Chris
I'm sure heading over to Flickr to take a look... Thanks for sharing the process of the making. The earrings turned out very cool! Hugs, Teia
ReplyDeleteThanks Teia, glad you like them :)
DeleteWow Chris, I love your blog, don't know why I haven't been here sooner. I'm such a dummy!! Lots of very neat stuff. I've added a link on my blog so I'll keep up with any new posts.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much... I've only just started a weekly blog.. and trying to keep up with it.. so you have not missed too much :)
DeleteThat's very cool, ss! I love it. Now I have to go try it. :D Goodness knows I have enough canes. ;D xoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks sis!!! Now go have a try, it is sooo easy. You know how to do this right? Here is the link to the video tutorial by the great Alice herself:

This is however creating another problem: no more scrap clay!!!!
Yeah...she has done it!!! Great to have you in the challenge Chris!!! You will see things like you just wrote about will happen all the time, and when one makes room for creating something the reward is big...;-))
ReplyDeleteLove your earring idea!
Thanks Anke!! For the comment AND for creating this great and fun challenge. I am already buzzing with ideas for the next ones :)
DeleteLove the way you've added the extra canes, a great twist. The earrings are fabo!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU Alice for giving us all so much fun in using your technique. Looking at the result and thinking.. now what can I do with that?

Deletehi chris, i love your blog, thank you so much for reading (or better said watch? sorry, i wasn't technically able to set up a translator yet) mine ☺ i don't do claying (yet? just with the kids so far...) but it fascinates me... take care, dana
ReplyDeleteThanks Dana! I found your blog through Teia (Claycorner)'s blog and really like the cute pouches you are making. Maybe some day you can add some funky polymer clay buttons to them.
Delete(but be careful, playing with polymer clay is realllly addictive!) :)
Hahaha... We're already working on adding the polymer clay to those colorful pouches! Co-operation across crafts. Yiha :))
DeleteLove your earring Chris! I am becoming very tempted to join in as well, but still hovering on the sidelines ! Love the texture on them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pippa! I like the way the texturing changed the whole look. Common, join, the more the merrier :) I needed something like a challenge to keep my muse entertained and something/week is just the right challenge for me.
DeleteI love your earrings and have just joined the challenge! xx
