This is the last batch of store-bought wooden discs that I painted with wax. Elizabeth, who had the idea for earrings, finished each piece with hardware. These two pair have contrasting backs and fronts.
Modelling the different sides.
This last earring is more conventional. I learned, finally, that if I wanted to stamp an image it’s best to do it first. Once the wax is applied, the surface, no matter how beautifully fused, has imperfections that keep the ink from printing consistently.
Elizabeth improved a rather simple design by adding the perfect hardware. Thanks.
