A white ceramic tile full of cherry stud earrings on a black circle background. Each piece has two deep red cherries with two green stems leading up to one green leaf at the top. Some of the leaves face left and others face right, to make a symmetrical pair.

Three pairs of stud earrings on my palm against a background of blooming Black Eyed Susan flowers. The top design is an orange with a little bit of shading and a leaf; the middle design is a lemon with a leaf; the bottom design is a lime with a bit of shading and a leaf at the top.

A pair of purple grape earrings held up against a background of grass. There are three shades of reddish purple grapes, a green vine, and a green grape leaf. There are metallic gold balls at the bottom of each grape that hold the piece together.

A grid of 14 red polymer clay hearts, approximately 1 inch each, with a pattern that looks like strawberry seeds pressed into them. At the top of the heart, five green leaves are placed to look like the leaves on a freshly picked strawberry!

40 teeny tiny heart-shaped strawberries on an acrylic tile above marble. These strawberries are so small, only three leaves fit on each berry.

The same handful of roses, against the tummy of a very grey kitty who rolled over for tum rubs! Kitty is happily rolling on concrete.

I spent some time making sure each color in my pieces closely represented the specific shades used in the pride flags. I’m really happy with how all of the designs look!
