\"faux<\/a><\/p>\n

One thing most polymer clay artists love about this medium is its ability to imitate other materials. Just a quick search for “polymer clay faux<\/a>” on Pinterest brings up images and\/or tutorials for faux gemstones of various types, faux sea glass, faux shell, faux rocks, faux wood, faux snakeskin and even faux lampwork glass.<\/p>\n

The earrings in today’s video use a simple technique to imitate weathered and patinaed\u00a0embossed\u00a0metal. The wire wrapping frames them and adds to the illusion.<\/p>\n

Although I didn’t take the time to do it, feel free to use my liver of sulfur tutorial<\/a> to add a aged effect to the wires.<\/p>\n
