4th of July earrings - polymer clay tutorial 568

A polymer clay tutorial on how to make a pair of patriotic ear rings that are more on the elegant side. A pair of ear rings that would be classy enough to be worn at a black tie event
The level of expertise for these ear rings is "advanced". You would have to be familiar with the mica shift technique (   • Mica Shift technique polymer clay tutorial...  ) and with the "clay inlay in clay" (I showed it in several tutorials, like this one    • 198 Polymer Clay Tutorial - clay inlay in ...   and this one    • Faux mother of pearl inlay in "ebony"hair ...  ).
it also uses slices from the "extruder star cane" (   • Star cane for patriotic jewelry - polymer ...  )
Materials and tools used:
Premo polymer clay: white, pearl, navy, magenta pearl, pomegranate.

Please feel free to use the design/technique presented in this video for your own personal use or for making various items to sell. That is what tutorials are for, after all.
Mentioning of the author is desired and appreciated, but not mandatory.
Different than other artists, I will tell you: do exactly what I do in the tutorial, until you are able to do it exactly how I do it. That means you will have mastered the technique and you will be able to start tweaking it and putting your personal touch to it and grow as an artist.
Just please do not copy the tutorial itself and don't present as yours my techniques. It might not be illegal but it's not ethical.
And remember, I love seeing photos of what you did using my tutorials, and if you send some to me, I will feature them on the Kalyana facebook page!
