About Resin Clay:

Apoxie Sculpt, the brand I use, is a two-part air-dry resin clay. It is super hard when cured. Before its adoption into the jewelry-making world epoxy clay was created for automotive and plumbing repairs. It is, for all practical purposes, unbreakable! Apoxie Sculpt is formulated for sculpting and jewelry; I use black.

Black and White Tiny Earrings, Dark Steel Wire Wrapped White Glass Beads

Dark steel wire earrings with white glass bead
Black & White: Urban chic wire-wrapped earrings.
To see more details and to purchase, click the image above.

Features:
  • annealed dark steel wire;
  • white glass beads from India;
  • small and very lightweight.

About Dark Annealed Steel Wire:

Dark annealed steel wire has a natural black carbon coating that comes to the surface during the annealing process.

I have cleaned off loose carbon and sealed the wire with a coat of microcrystalline wax to give it a lovely sheen and help prevent rust.

Keep away from moisture and apply an occasional light coat of car wax, such as Turtle Wax, if needed.

These and other sari silk items are offered in my Etsy shop. They're one of a kind items, however I can often make something similar if your favorite has already sold. Go to the item you like at Etsy and convo me there so I know which one you want.
