Ash Makes Things

Want to know the best way to care for your new clay earrings? Polymer clay earrings are very durable, but not indestructible. If you want them to last a long time, follow these tips:

1️⃣ Avoid letting them sit or be exposed to heat for too long. If you store them near a window, be sure to keep them covered!

2️⃣ Take them off before showering, swimming, sleeping, etc. The clay will likely make it out ok, but any of the other pieces (like the rings holding multiple earring pieces together, or the posts) won't hold up as well.

3️⃣ Handle them with care! Don't bend them or store them in weird positions (like dumped in purses or toiletry bags). They can withstand a few beatings, but after too long, they're just like us and they'll snap eventually after too much abuse!

Do you have any questions about how to care for your clay earrings? If so drop them in the comments and I can help!

Each of these are one of a kind; I couldn't remake them if I tried. ⁠
⁠
I like to think of earrings like this as sisters, not twins. Each of these were created from the same slab and using the same technique, but with their own personality and style that is totally unique to them (and you!) 👯‍♀️

And don't forget - the first SIX orders are getting a bonus pair of studs.

Today's all about you! ⁠⠀

🥳 SLABURDAY 🎉

If you caught my stories yesterday you saw that I made some new slabs (FINALLY) and here they are!

This technique was the first one I made last year that had me literally squealing and blowing up every group text I’ve ever been in 😆

So I wanted to try recreating it and see if I could ignite that magic again.

Spoiler alert: I did. These slabs (swipe for some color variations) are so stinking beautiful it’s got me squealing all over again.

So I know I asked you yesterday about some shapes, but today I wanna know: which color palette do you prefer? The cool or warm colors?
