These gorgeous plugs — on the “simpler” end of the designs she’s done — were made by Hermeone of Perishables in Philadelphia, PA.

I love when I hit refresh and there’s an update 10 minutes after the one that I just saw. I try to imagine you hard at work behind a computer monitor. 🙂

She has very pretty skin. I’d love to know what that tattoo is.
I think I much prefer this to regular plugs.

I love how organic that looks — so alien in such a familiar way, if that makes any sense.

it has a beautifully organic flow… but when i first looked at it i thought it was a snake – on closer inspection i thought it was some sort of horrifyingly large intestinal parasite. i’m going to blame it on one too many parasitology classes and call it a day 🙂 now that i know it’s not going to wiggle, i really find it intriguing and lovely!

Why endorse something on BME that is actually described as harmful on the site itself (in the Encyclopedia)? Not to mention, in many other perfectly reputable sources. I don’t understand. Polymer clay is not for long-term (i.e., more than a few hours) wear, albeit this jewelry is definitely very attractive. If only it weren’t dangerous…

I think this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen on modblog. Oh to have stretched lobes to put such a thing in!!

On the site it says they’re made of ‘polymer’, looking at the pics I presume that’s fimo. :/

So if polymer clays are potentially harmful due to leeching of who knows what chemicals, why not wear some kind of barrier between the plug and the ear? What about wearing the polymer piece inside of a clear silicone earskin? If the polymer jewelry were particularly large and ornate, I could even see this helping them to remain secure in one’s ears. Any thoughts on this? I’m only just starting to stretch my own lobes but the things I could do with polymer clay…

Yeah, I thought polymer clay was a big no-no for piercings…?

Not sure how many times I have to go over this. I’m not endorsing it, I’m saying it’s beautiful.

Gorgeous, even if only for a few hours. Heck, we arent supposed to wear high heels for longer than that either.

Those could have just been made for a photo shoot or special event. It doesnt say “THIS GIRL IS GOING TO WEAR THOSE EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE” anywhere.

nope-
If you look on the website, the set is named cordyceps – which is actually an incredibly cool kind of parasitic fungus that colonizes living insects. After they die, the fruiting bodies grow out of their exoskeletons. It’s almost more creepy than intestinal parasites!

They’re selling those on etsy.com. I think they’re beautiful but the fact that they’re polymer clay scared me off.

What if they were sealed with a safe varnish? Could that be considered a barrier between the earlobe and polymer?

No, it doesn’t. But the wording on some of the designs she’s selling is questionable at best:
But wait, polymer isn’t organic, right?
WRONG.
Despite what you’ve been told, EVERYTHING on Earth is organic.
How can it not be?
If it’s of this Earth, whether an “element” or a biproduct of elements, what’s of this Earth is from this Earth.
Some of her pieces are quite nice, but I think she’s misrepresenting things a bit.
