Tentacle Earrings

[Mermaid Lorelei]

I'm dabbling a bit in making polymer jewelry and I was curious if any of you think they would sell? I don't want to go through the trouble of making a bunch and listing them if they don't look good. XD

I think they are adorable!
I would totally buy them if I could.
If I may,
a suggestion from my own personal taste,
making them a little bit fatter/thicker might be cute :3
and adding some type of gloss to give them a cool shine?
I do it with clear nail polish .... though I wouldn't recommend using that <XD

I think you definitely could sell those! However, I would suggest not making multiples and listing just the pair you've got. That way you wont waste materials and you can say each pair is custom crafted!

[Mermaid Lorelei]

I would definitely be making them thicker (one of these actually cracked during the baking process because it was too thin). I'll have to look into the clear coat polish. I don't happen to have any gloss for polymer on hand.

Thank you both. I'll probably take some better pictures tomorrow then and look into listing them.

By the way, is there any reason you can't buy them Nyx?

[Nyx]

Awesome awesome, I can't wait to see them!


By the way, is there any reason you can't buy them Nyx?

I just have no money at the moment <8'D

[Mermaid Lorelei]

Haha, I can understand that problem. :>

[Nyx]

Yeah, ahahaha

So I'm curious.
are you going to make any other type of earnings?
like seashells, seahorses, etc. ?

[Mermaid Lorelei]

I am indeed. I have plans for lots of different shapes and such, including anchors, fish hooks, crabs, blah blah blah. :P

[Nyx]

Yay! X>
now I'm even more interested in buying


fish hooks
and I think these are the first I might get XD

[Mermaid Lorelei]

C: YAY!

[digitalSELKIE]

Wow, I wished I had pierced ears, they look really lovely. Though I have to agree with Nyx; a coat of clear would help protect it; and give a 'wet' looking appearance.

But fish hooks... Oh, sea horses would be cute as well. I'd love to see the other earrings if you post them up as well. ^w^

[Mermaid Sirena]

A clear coat would certainly help and nail polish cover works great!

There is someone else who doesn't have pierced ears in this world? Huzah I am not alone!

[Mermaid Lorelei]

Looks like these earrings are going to a new home already, but I'll be sure to get some more together for you all. :3

[Mermaid Saphira]

I would love to see these sold! they r so pretty! How about adding glitter and/or clear coat? :)

[Shipwrecked Blue]

I love those. I know people who would buy them. If I had pierced ears, I might myself.

[Mermaid Lorelei]

Why thank you. :>

These are a super cute idea! i love it! try using triple thick glaze its about 5 bucks at craft stores and it works great! i use polymer clay a lot and the glaze adds protection and strength to the clay. but dont use clear nail polish! it makes the surface sticky and covered in finger prints and marks from just about whatever touches it!
