Hello! I'm Karina Formanova. Welcome to Evrazhka Studio.
Today I propose you to make this very showy summer flowers earrings.
I'm pretty indifferent for jewellery with flowers, but these earrings is a must in my summer collection.
And I hope they will appear at yours soon.
Full list of all necessary materials and tools is in the description below.
I took two colors of series "Chiffon" of "Artifact" clay: "Ripe Papaya" and "Honey Paste".
They have a light transparency and are ideal for flowers.
The clay must be sufficiently elastic and not too soft, otherwise it will be very difficult to make flowers.
Knead a small piece of each color and make a Skinner blend.
Cut rough edges and cut the layer into squares of 5 mm.
Wear a glove to avoid fingerprints, and sticking of the clay to your hands.
Take one or two squares of the same color, roll a ball, and pull the ball into a drop.
Cut the drop in a half with the broad side with a thin, sharp blade.
Cut through until about the middle of the drop. Slightly move apart halves to sides and cut the drop again.
Move apart all petals a little.
Take a dotting tool and flatten each petal.
The main stress should fall on the edge of the petal.
Then it will be thin, and the flower will seem to be more neat.
And thick base of the petal will not allow the flower to break.
It is very important to choose the right diameter of the dotting tool.
The ball should be slightly bigger than the future petal.
If the ball is too small, the thin edge of the petal just will not work.
But if the ball is too big, it will crush all petals together.
It is also very important for the clay to be not too soft and sticky, and the blade must be very thin and sharp.
Then future petals will not crease and stick together during cutting.
For making center roll out a thin cane of slightly darker clay and cut it into small pieces.
Take a headpin and insert it in the center of the flower for making a stem.
Drip a small drop of the liquid clay.
Roll a piece of dark clay into a ball, put it into the flower center and press it with a dotting tool.
If liquid clay get out a little under the center, there is no biggie, it will become matte and will be almost invisible after baking.
In this case, I do not recommend to glue the center without gel, because it will greatly reduce the strength of the flower.
Put the flower into a stand for baking.
If you don't have a headpin, you can take a usual pin with a loop.
Straighten the loop,
bend a small tail and press its sides.
Make the same thing on the other end. Cut the pin in a half.
We have got two little pins with loops.
You can insert them into flower the same way as nail pins.
For making a bud just roll a drop and cut it into four pieces.
Insert the pin in the center and close its petals.
If it's necessary, push lines once again.
If you have never sculpted these flowers, please do not worry if you couldn't to cut a drop into four equal parts from the first time,
and petals will come out crooked and sloppy!
This is perfectly normal.
Try again and again, and you will succeed. There is nothing complicated in this technique, you only need to get your hand in.
Make 30, 40, 50, a hundred flowers, and finally they will turn out perfectly smooth and accurate.
Make required quantity of flowers and buds this way. The lighter the clay, the finer petals must be.
Bake flowers for 40 minutes.
I decided to make some darker flowers, so I made another blend from dark pink to light.
And made flowers and buds from it.
Prepare dark green, slightly transparent clay for leaves.
Roll a cane and cut it on six identical pieces.
Roll each piece into a drop, flatten it slightly and put it on a leaf mold.
Press it with the other half.
Bend the leaf a little and sharpen a tip. Make a hole for assembling with a needle or a toothpick.
Make six leaves and bake them for 40 minutes.
We need to make a loop for assembling on each flower.
Bend the pin at the base by 90 degrees with a pliers.
Cut off the excess wire leaving a tail about 7 mm. Bend the loop.
Make it with all elements.
Everything is ready for assembly.
In the end I have got about 90 flowers along with buds and six leaves.
Divide flowers into two approximately equal piles.
They should be equal as the number of all elements, and by the ratio of large and small flowers.
Cut a piece of chain with a length of 15-20 cm.
I suggest shaping twigs simultaneously at the both ends of a single chain.
It will be much easier to make them the same.
Firstly hook one bright bud to the end of the chain.
Hook two buds a little higher.
Next it is the turn of small bright flowers.
Slowly assemble twings volume. You can hook elements to the chain or the loops of adjacent elements.
Check twigs on all sides to never have big bald spots, and for individual flowers not to stick out too much.

All details are in the description below the video.
When the twigs are collected, hook leaves with jumprings.
Detach unnecessary chain, leaving one empty link on each twig.
Hook earring findings on these links.
Earrings are ready!
These earrings are perfect jewellery for summer! They look incredible with bright summer dresses.
And you will not stay unnoticed!
Despite the amount of metal, the earrings are not heavy. Weight of one earring is only about 8 grams.
