The Joy of Metal Clay; Butterfly Series, Part 2

The butterfly series I have been working on has been stalled partially as I wait for carbon for firing.

Unfortunately, they are not finished here is where they are right now:







Above are supposed to be chrysalis earrings. I used oval cork forms to make the shape then added copper wire in the centre for ear wires.

Here is a Monarch pendant. This was made with layers of copper clay which was then carved. The antenna are pieces of copper wire.

When they are fired I will share.
