I've always loved the look of Bakelite and have several pieces in varying colors, but mostly butterscotch....so I set out to try to match the look of that vintage 30's and 40's plastic that aged so beautifully. At first I had some trouble because I was using opaque clay and it came out looking chalky....then I played around with a combination of translucents and regular clay and I was happy!
However, once I ran these past my husband and chief critic, he frankly said he thought the earrings resemble corn on the cob or macaroni art....
It's amazing we've been together this long...
Your work is wonderful.
