So...I did a thing this week - I learned how to make 99.99% solid sterling silver jewelry out of silver clay at the Adirondack Folk School in Lake George. You shape the clay, dry it, file/sand it, fire it (kiln or hand torch), and then polish it with a brass brush. It was so much fun!

Here are my class creations/first attempts: a textured pendant, a textured band ring, and two pairs of earrings; one with bezel inlaid green CZs after the silver clay was impressed with a real leaf, and the other a textured sunflower imprint.

I need your feedback please. Should I offer these at the Saturday Delmar Farmers Market with the understanding the pieces will need to be a bit higher in price than my other earrings (which start at $10) because the silver clay is very expensive? I need to know if I should make the investment.

Thank you in advance!

I offer new handcrafted SOLID Sterling Silver wire earring designs weekly so come check them out at the Saturday Delmar Farmers Market, 9a-1p, at the Bethlehem Middle School, Delmar.

I usually make about 50 pairs a week, however, I was an over-achiever this week. See pics below for this week's creations.

In total I have more than 500 pairs available for your perusal - there is sure to be something that catches your eye.

Hope to see you Saturday. Thank You!
