Mixing Medias

At Tafe I have been experimenting with using different materials to make jewellery. I have been exploring with polymer clay and wanted to try and mix it with some silver. I made these earrings by cutting out the flowers and doming them and attaching the polymer clay domes that I had made, with wire. The original plan was to rivet the polymer clay to the silver but the clay couldn't take the pressure of the hammering so i changed it a little bit.
