On seeing the beauty of the terracotta jewellery sets on the net, I wished to make one. Making a set is easy for me but baking process is something difficult. Many said to bake it in an oven or kiln, I don't have either.
One lady in a television program said to bake it in microwave oven. Hey... I have a microwave.
So I made a jhumki and pendant and baked it in microwave... but it was a disaster, it busted. Then I keep on searching the net and finally got one tutorial.
This time I kept the designs very simple since I am not sure about the out come. I don't want to waste my efforts. But it was a success. It really worked and I made my first terracotta jewellery set.
Thanks for the person who shared this. I can not find that link now but the tutorial in this link also uses same technique.

I baked some small pendants and beads and made a necklace, earring, bracelet for my daughter and a jhumki for me. I love jhumkis...I like the way they dangle. Waiting to make many such lovely jewelries .
