Polymer clay earrings?!

DaWanda organised a bloggers competition for which I signed up. You would receive a surprise package with which to make something. I was expecting anything (or at least I thought so!) but what I didn't expect was a packet of polymer clay: Fimo Air Light to be precise. Well now there is something way outside my comfort zone...
But I went ahead and experimented with it which was kind of fun. I played with shapes and textures and colours, and in the end I decided I had better stick to something familiar and use it to make jewellery. So I made some beads and painted them, then assembled these simple earrings.
What I like about the Fimo beads is that they look very substantial but are actually super lightweight.

Now, since it's a competition I am asking everyone to please go and VOTE! Whichever entry receives the most 'likes' on DaWanda's facebook page by September 23rd wins! You can cast your vote here: facebook. (voting has ended)

DaWanda heeft een bloggerswedstrijd georganiseerd waar ik aan mee heb gedaan. Je zou een verrassingspakketje in de post krijgen, waar je dan iets mee moest maken. Ik verwachtte van alles maar dus geen polymeerklei: Fimo Air Light om precies te zijn. Nou dat was wel even buiten mijn comfort zone...
Maar ik ben toch gaan experimenteren ermee, en dat was ook best leuk. Ik heb lekker gespeeld met vorm, textuur en kleur, en uiteindelijk besloot ik te blijven bij wat ik ken en er een sieraad mee te maken. Dus kleide ik wat kralen, verfde ze en maakte deze oorbellen.
Wat fijn is aan de Fimo is dat de oorbellen er substantieel uitzien maar eigenlijk superlicht zijn.

Maar, omdat het een wedstrijd is vraag ik hierbij iedereen of alsjeblieft te gaan STEMMEN! Degene die vóór 23 september de meeste 'likes' op DaWanda's facebook pagina krijgt wint! Stemmen kan hier: facebook. (stemmen is niet meer mogelijk)
