    Was easy but they require a lot of patience and time to space them and do them same size. I am pleased with the result, I will use these knots along with the Kumihimo braid for various bead variations.

  In the twenty ninth day of 366 creative days I finally finished my polymer clay "surprise" earrings I started in the fourteenth day with the polymer clay disk earrings.

PMC copper teal earrings

 
  They look very earthy colored on one side, imitating copper with a texture like those genuine copper vases you find in the old bazaars, like is beaten with a hammer, with a kumihimo thread I have done two days ago with similar colors. The surprise come from the vivid colors underneath, with a sand rock texture, those that you can only see when they are moving following the head direction, showing only a glimpse of  the colors underneath.

  Another surprise come from the way I made them so you can wear them on one side or the other, or even as I showed them on the photos here(not the best quality again, but I tried).

  For the twenty eighth day of 366 creative days I have finished a pair of polymer clay earrings that I started in the turquoise - emerald polymer clay beads on the sixth day. I used some glass beads and silver plated metal beads and a tube as well.
  The wire is actually metallic thread silver,emerald and green, around 0.7mm each and I used 7 for a 4 thread kumihimo braid.

     If they are seen from more than a meter distance the wire is almost invisible and they look like floating under the ear.

For the sixteenth day I have tested some rings in order to put some oval shaped beads together in a pair of earrings. Of course, they need some more fixing since they refuse to stay the way I placed them but I will add some glue or liquid polymer clay and a metallic bead in center.
