The guinea pigs themselves weren't difficult to make. I've done variations of dangling guinea pigs on Christmas ornaments, so I was familiar with the basics. Adding the post and backing were tricky. The clay was soft and deformed easily. I needed to do all of the pieces separately. I was unsure how they'd look altogether until they'd been baked and I could assemble them.
I'm pleased with the results. Aren't they cute? I have a few more studs - I may have to make a few more.
I am linking up to Linky Tuesday. It's so exciting to see my String Theory quilt top is featured on today's Linky post!
Sally,
ReplyDeleteWOW on both! Those earrings are so tiny!!! How did you do that. How exciting to have your quilt featured on another blog!
They are very cute! Perhaps Pinniped and Cannoli in earring format are next? ;)
ReplyDeleteWhere can they be purchased?
ReplyDeleteI have others like this pair that I'm just shipping off to CavyMadness (http://cavymadness.com/shop/index.html). I am hoping they'll be available in the next few weeks. If they sell out quickly, I hope to make some more by the end of the year.
