Today I´ll show you how simple is to do beatitful earring with usage of castings. There are two different types of castings you can use. There are decorative castings in shape of teardrop, bead or leaf and there are castings in shape of animals like owl, butterfly or snail. You can find some other types like musical instruments and other stuff.

Here are some of the castings i have and i´ll show you how to work with them:

SPIRAL, LEAF, TEARDROP

are the first decorative castings. Using them is very simple, because you can put them only on the end of the earring. All you need is your imagination. Here are some of my ideas:

Jak udělat korunku - GERMIA

I´ve obtained a job - to do the crown - something in the shape of the first picture, with the color of the second picture. It had to have a transparent background and look shiny.

I´ve started working in Inscape freeware vector program and I´ve done the basic shapes with the rectangle making tool, polygon making tool and circle making tool. Then I´ve chosen the tweak tool and made the shapes smooth and rounder. On the picture on the right side there are all the shapes I´ve used.




Next step was to join up the shapes with the same color and move this project to the program with the wider scale of colours. So I´ve opened Gimp freeware program and with all the select tools, masking tool and painting tools I´ve done some good projects. The winner is the picture on the right side.
