Description

The swirls in this were made using the technique from :iconchat-noir:'s lollipop tutorial. :heart:

These are peppermint scented! Which means...

Good news, people (especially :iconzarula:, since she and I were trying to figure out how to scent clay since no one seems willing to share the information): ESSENTIAL OILS DON'T SEEM TO MESS UP CLAY AT ALL. And you can even smell it through the glaze! I've only tried orange and peppermint oil, but I don't see why any other oils would be any different. You can mix it directly into the clay and it doesn't seem to affect the curing at all. You have to get your hands a little messy (some color gets dragged out of the clay in a liquidy form and gets all over your hands, but it doesn't affect the overall color in any noticeable way), but it WORKS.

The first earring-sized lollipop happened by accident... I was making a bunch of regular-sized ones for necklaces, and as I was rolling one up it broke off too soon. I added a stick to it and I thought it was cute, so I decided to make another one and make them into earrings since they were just the right size. They are definetely one of my favorite things I've made, they're so adorable~!
