Porcelain Shards with Old Oil Glaze

Description

This is a set of my porcelain or chocolate clay shards for you to use as you would like... jewelry making, mixed media, whatever you can think up.

I have used soft wire and have wire wrapped them for a pair of earrings. And it seems that I always get comments about how unique they are when I wear them.

They start out as small clay balls that I roll in-between two wooden textured blocks. You can see a tutorial on my blog on the actual process:

Then remember to come back here to shop for any that I may have in stock...
These are all individually made, so you will not find them for sale on my website! Etsy is the place for these little ones...

The porcelain and chocolate clay is fired to 2232F so it makes for a more durable product. Now mind you I did not say indestructible... They can break, so be "smart" when creating with them. Treat them as you would if they were a glass bead (a glaze is glass by the way).

And if you want a particular "general" length, color and clay combination, just convo me via Etsy and I'll let you know if I can make them for you for you. Remember - all are different because they are hand-made...

If you want them as an earring pair, convo me about that too... I like taking a break and making jewelry once in a while (there are also some jewelry designers out there that make jewelry with my pieces...).
