Because I've been working with translucent clay lately, here's the pattern I used for the 2nd pair.

Out of the Studio
Here's a new design I've been working with. They're basically two different sized sterling discs, dapped and cold connected with the balled up earring wire. I did the first one for the most recent BAO color challenge.
And here's something I finally got around to trying - my Nikolas Spray. I had purchased it from Whole Lotta Whimsy a while back. Can I tell you - I LOVE this stuff. If you do any patina treatments on silver, this puts such a nice, clear finish on it. I've been brushing the silver with scotch brite pads, treating it with a patina, brushing the patina off a little and then spraying the clear lacquer on. It's my new favorite supply. Here's a photo of the backside.

Those are beautiful. I especially like the effect you got on the second pair. Would you mind tell what translucent clay you prefer? I might be baking mine too long, because I can't seem to keep the original color. I use Premo, alcohol inks,and bake at 265 for 45to 60 min. It doesn't turn brown, but the color fades a lot. Thank you so much.
I use Premo and cure at 275 for 30 minutes.
