How to Make Elegant Polymer Clay Articulated Dangle Earrings

Hi All, thanks for joining me in my studio as we learn how to make these really elegant articulated dangle earrings from polymer clay.  These earrings measure approximately 3-1/2” and have a lot of movement.  Use your own templates or download mine (link to my blog below) for this simple project that has endless design possibilities.  Hope you enjoy.  Thanks for joining me in my studio.  Take care.
