Getting started:
Please make sure your work area is covered and you are not working on an unprotected surface. We recommend working on the Sculpey® Work ‘n Bake Clay Mat, wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Uncured Liquid Bakable Medium may damage unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Be sure to cover your crafting area appropriately.
-Gently stir the bottle of liquid bakeable medium.-Wash hands after use (we have found that baby wipes work best) Baking
-It is important to use oven thermometer when you bake the liquids so that you can ensure your oven is at the correct temperature. -Do not microwave the liquids. They must be baked in a Preheated oven at 300 ºF (149 ºC) for liquid colors and 325 ºF (163 ºC) for Clear – Do not exceed baking temperatures. -If you are using the liquids as a glaze or in thin pieces less than ¼ inch bake for 15 minutes. For thicker pieces that are ¼ or above bake for 30 minutes. -If you are baking on a ceramic tile then you will also need to bake at 30 minutes since it will take longer for the tile to heat up. This will ensure the proper fusing of the liquid material. -When baking these liquids you may experience some vapors or a slight odor. This is not harmful and will not affect your creation. -If your liquid project has become yellowed or discolored in the oven, when you remake it, tent it by placing either – folding an index card in half and placing your project under it or by using aluminum foil over your project

Fill the big rectangular shape 2/3 full with rose gold liquid clay. Cure the clay at 285 °F /140 °C for 15 minutes. Let cool completely but do not take the clay out of the mold!
Most pearls you can buy are for stringing and have holes. When you use them for this project they tend to turn so the holes can be seen. To fix that use a tiny bit of Premo Pearl and fill the holes with it. Use your needle tool to help you do that!
Fill more rose gold liquid clay on top of the already baked clay. You only need a thin layer and do not need to fill it to the top. When you place the pearls in the liquid it will rise and should then fill the mold to the top. When cooled completely take the earring out of the mold. Adorn your earring hooks with additional beads in rose gold or copper and attach the hooks to your earrings.
