The mica shift technique has many ways of doing it- this is one of my favorites, weaving! Weaving clay and patterning it like this is very meditative and repetitive, so you can get lost for a while concentrating on clay and let your stresses go :)
I used our bookmark clay cutters and tassels, bead pins, and paper bead cutters in this project.
These earrings feature several finishing techniques- no sanding, making stud earrings, attaching without drilling holes, creating nice backs, and more!
And of course, my first time using The Create Template for a project. All in all it was not difficult to create a very cool quilted look even on the first try :)
Most important lesson learned: the next time I do this, I will put a thin stripe of a certain color between the random stripe layers. (a strong dark color, or light color, but it will be the SAME color.) This will hold the pattern together better and really show off the "quilted" look when you spin the pieces around and re-assemble them.
