A big batch of jewellery had just been put in the oven but I had some polymer clay left over, A lump of Black and a lump white and It seemed such a shame to put it away.
Most of the jewellery I’ve made so far can be worn on any occasion with anything it’s beautiful and classy. I fancied making something a bit more ‘crazy’ this time. As I sat there rolling the lumps of clay around waiting for inspiration to hit me, I suddenly had a thought…. sheep!
Number one was a bit of a fiddly process but shortly afterwards there he was, he looked very lonely though so out of what was left of the clay I made him a friend. The two friends were then mounted on header pins and baked in the oven and so the first pair of sheep earrings were born.
Months later I have made an ever increasing number of sheep so what next? A set of sheep (including pendants or hair ties etc)? More animals?
Well in an experiment I have made a run of sheep pendants to go with the earrings. I’ll see how they go but I figure it’s way past time to try and make some farmyard and domestic animal friends to keep the sheep company.
