Ever striving for new components to add to my arsenal as a component maker I know that new and novel pieces are like candy to the earring designer
I had been marketing my torch fired enamel matchsticks "numi-sticks" for a few years now and as a lampworker I wondered if I could apply my lampworking technique to the enamels. The result of this was my "Kimfusions" in which the application of the glass magnifies the effects of the enamels beneath and add some extra texture and flash.
I felt I was perfectly within my rights to hoard a few for my own designing obviously!
I've paired these dangles with some of Shipwreck Dandy's faceted polymer clay beads and a few crusty discs of Roman glass. ( I sell them in my supply shop)
Richelle even has a free tute on her blog for making the faceted beads but her polymer clay beads that she sells are unusual and evoctive
The earwires are by our own LoveRoot Nikki Zehler
Thanks for looking!
