Backing Ear wires or Stud posts - Clean and securely.

Yesterday I made three earrings which are just different from my usual style, slight bigger and of course trendy. I have used Lisa Pavelka texture stamps , cookie utters, Premo clays and mica pigments. They are adorable. 




You see alcohol inks in picture but it is not used for these ear rings. This was my recent purchase from Joann Fabric and Crafts (I got really cool offers ie, free shipping plus 50% off ) , and cutters from Amazon

Come to point, here's is a hack for glueing metal to clay, is that strong enough? Obviously we can not relay on it. Being poly clay is highly durable what if findings attached to it fallen off over some time.. Bad thing eh? 
So I do cover the er wires or stud posts on cured earring with a thin layer of clay . Cured clay does'nt stick well to raw clay for this we can either use Translucent liquid sculpey or Bake and Bond. Apply little adhering agent over baked part ,place metal and cover it in thin sheet of clay. Texture n sign if necessary.
Tada... W done!. Look these picture.
