Hi all.
Well I have been very busy over the last few days. I have made several pairs of earrings. I had a go at making my own ear wires. I used 20g silver plated wire to do mine and so of course I had to make lots of things to hang off of them! lol.
The disks on this pair I made using shrink plastic. It is a material that I have not really used before, so I really enjoyed playing with this. It is coloured with an iridescent mica powder that I heat set during the shrinking process. I really like the way hat these have turned out. I added the dangle with an 'S' link that I also made. I think that these would look great worn in the summer, especially as big jewellery is going to be a big trend.
This pair above are also made from 20g SP wire. I made the headpins myself to match the wrapping on the top of the bead. I have been going a bit nuts for wire wrapping beads in this way, whenever I sit down to play at the moment I will inevitably end up with something wrapped! lol
I love this pair, these are by far my faves. I used some new goodies that I had ordered a while ago but where delayed because of all the snow we have had! Well I finally got them through my letterbox this morning and this is the result. I have used some more Opalite, this time in a Briolette cut and fresh water potato pearls, also new :) I think that I am going to have to practise wrapping briolettes, I gave up and used a bead cap instead but I think that they look pretty cool.
I'm not sure where the inspiration for this pair came from. I don't often work with red, Its not a colour I tend to wear much of, But I think that its starting to grow on me.
So hope you like them, because I love them!
