My jewelry is hand formed from porcelain and stoneware clay. I roll the clay out with a rolling pin, then cut it into shapes. Texture is added using things like leaves, fossils, or antique buttons. After they dry, the pieces are cleaned, then fired in the kiln. I use glazes and underglazes to create the underlying color, then kiln fire the pieces to approximately 2300 degrees. Before the final firing, I add luster and sometimes gold or platinum to achieve the iridescent look of my jewelry. I like to add stone, crystal or glass beads to complement the glaze colors. All earring wires are hypo-allergenic, made from nickel free sterling silver, niobium, or 14k gold filled wire.
