Rain Cloud Earrings

Okay, so I lied.
Those pokeball earrings are no longer my favorites. These are:


They were pretty straightforward to make: shape the clay, wire them up, bake, paint, and chain. 
I used white clay for the clouds and then painted them with a coat of bright white and a light dusting of shimmery translucent glitter. Then I used the pointy end of a toothpick for the eyes and the stubby end for the cheeks.
The raindrops were blue clay painted a shimmery navy blue with just a bit of silver near the tops.
