Clay and Gold Leaf Earring Tutorial

I have had my eye on buying and/or making a pair of the little geo shaped clay earrings that seem to be everywhere at the moment. They're so simple and modern; I think they add a cute extra touch to any outfit.

I've had a play with clay (ha!) a few times in the past but as I've always made jewelry for brides, I've never really had much of chance. I'm always working with crystals, pearls and silk fabric instead so this is a fresh new concept for me. And of course... That also means I can create something pretty for everyday.
