Black Diamond Body Piercing

I am excited to announce that SuperLula Jewelry Designs are now available at the award-winning Black Diamond Body Piercing, located at 149 Park Rd. in West Hartford, CT. Georgina, the shop owner and piercer, has been piercing in West Hartford since 1997. Georgina felt there was a need for an upscale piercing shop with a clean, spa-like environment, where body piercing was the main focus, and opened Black Diamond Body Piercing in August 2008.
In addition to the wide variety of piercings and modifications offered, Georgina carries high quality piercing jewelry and handcrafted jewelry pieces by local artisans (thats where I come in!). So, if you are in the area, you should definitely stop in for your next piercing and do some jewelry shopping!

Polymer clay in your earlobes

In all honesty, I think the last time I made something out of polymer clay was when I was 15 or 16, and it was some sort of uh, smoking device. I wonder whatever happened to that thing...
Anyway, I picked up a rainbow assortment of polymer last weekend, and have been obsessively rolling large gauge earrings. The reason I haven't had any interest in making earrings until now is because I just don't really like traditional wire earrings... my ears are stretched to 0gauge and I love big chunky sprials and organic shapes in my ears, made from glass, bone and horn. Now, I feel like I've discovered a way to not only create those styles, but to go beyond, and bigger, chunkier, and more colorful than anything I've ever seen.
I am taking requests for sizes! My ears are currently 0g, but I'm planning on going to 00g and stopping there. How about you?
