I just try some new way to make my stud earrings so I thought I’d take pictures along the way!
Now, I always soldered or attached post at last but this time I soldered them first. I use hard solder so it should with stand in the kiln up to 1450° F.

Then, I counter enamel on the back.

And here is my big invention! I made stand for earrings by poke holes in the mica sheet. These little things that makes life so much easier!
